Reply to "Panic Braking"

Bill when I first got my Pantera I had the same problem. Braking was scary. Fronts would lock and the car would skid a mile. I was afraid I would rear end some one.

I however have the dual MC. Several things on my car were put together but never adjusted. Timing, carb, etc.

I began moving the brake bias to the rear. I made adjustments then tore up the neighborhood; which I am sure was appreciated.

Once I found the spot the rears locked up first I slowly moved it back to it was barely front biased.

Once I completed the adjustment the braking would throw me into the windshield. The difference was scary. The rears actually help pull down on the fronts making them all work better when balance is correct.

On a side note, watching a show on performance cars on speed which attended Sema. They did several events to show they were not just show cars. One was the quickest 0-100-0. The car that won was a Cobra. What was funny was he was obviously slightly rear brake bias. Every time he stopped he ended up sideways.
