Gafer wave rotors
EBC green stuff pads seems to work good for me
Galfer aluminum 2 line stainless brake lines for the front
keep the stock line in the back though, i have heard that stainless makes the rear too touchy and you have to be sensitive when trail braking

Galfer front and rear wave rotors
Galfer front and rear pads
Galfer front/ rear optional stainless brake lines. I have this setup on my 99 900rr and you definitely feel the difference.

Replace the fluid, replace the pads with HH sintered, rebuild the Master Cylinder (easy), and some SS lines. Properly bleed the lines with the new fluid and you should see a definite increase in your stopping power.

This reminds me, I need to replace my fluid again.

laters.

Replace the whole frontend with one off a 1000rr Thats what I did. Never felt brakes like these before. Radial brake, EBC HH pads, stainless lines. AHhh... one finger is all thats ever needed.
