LOL, after getting used to sport bikes the NH even with a stainless line and good pads still feel kind of weak. But those upgrades do make a difference over stock. Nothing is scarier than needing to stop NOW, and waiting for it to happen. Organic pads are fine on the rear since you generally don't use them as much, and the rear tends to lock up anyway if your breaking really hard.
