I run EBC's "double H" superbike pads in my front R1 calipers, and EBCs standard replacements for the rear stock. The front brakes have a slight hiss(which other people seem to notice but I don't) at all times, but have tremendous bite, don't fade out, and will stop the bike on a dime. They seem to be holding up fairly well for wear also.

In the meantime, try flushing the brake fluid. 25 year old fluid will be watery and probably brown. It doesn't work as well. With my old GS450, it had nearly 30 year old fluid in the cylinder, lines, ect and the brakes were weak as hell. New fluid made a huge difference.

EBC and Galfer are both excellent (I stock Galfers but EBC's can be shipped direct just as easily for me).

HH front and standard rear.

The real upgrade is swapping out the stock calipers on the front for my Huyabusa conversion. That gives a tremendous increase in braking.

Not to mention a set of braided brake lines.
