The notion of upgrading brakes when you mod may be a good idea in cases where you gain huge power. But in this case i think it's senseless in that the difference between a modded and stock bonnie isn't enough to make better brakes any more or less important than they'd be on the stock bike. We're not talking about going from 60 to 100 HP here. Even highly modded twins probably don't gain more than 20 HP, and the mods most do here with intake and pipe mods gain maybe 10 HP which makes the bike a little spunkier, but certainly nothing like what would require better brakes.
