First, let me say hello. Have a new (still only 535 miles) 2008 Goldwing with Navi/comfort/ABS package. Just graduated from a BMW R1200RT, and I must say what a fine bike the Wing is, comparatively. My question is about brakes. I understand the brakes are linked, as they were on my RT. Do you know what the percentage is of bias, front to rear? Is anyone just using the front brake lever to routinely stop (which many of us did on the RTs)? Is that not a good idea, and why?
Thanks in advance for your help.
