   There are many brake-performance-enhancing aftermarket parts available for most motorcycles, including brake pads of varying compounds and steel-braided brake lines. Harley-Davidson replaced drum brakes with disc brakes on Big Twin models starting in 1972, and on Sportster models starting in 1973.

3. Combined braking system - Wikipedia

   Two braking pipes of CBS connected to the Disc brake assembly. A combined braking system (CBS), also called linked braking system (LBS), is a system for linking front and rear brakes on a motorcycle or scooter. [1] In this system, the rider's action of depressing one of the brake levers applies both front and rear brakes.

4. Braided stainless steel brake lines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braided_stainless_steel...

   Braided stainless steel brake lines (also known as braided stainless steel brake hoses) are flexible hoses fitted to a hydraulic brake system. The intent of braided stainless steel brake lines is to improve brake system effectiveness and longevity as compared to an equivalent system fitted with flexible rubber hoses through near-elimination of hose expansion.

   Spoon front brake operated by handlebar lever and connecting rod on an 1899 Royal Riley Tricycle at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, England. Early motorcycles which were essentially a bicycle with a motor attached and did not have any braking system beyond cutting the power and waiting for the motorcycle to slow down enough to put a foot out.

   The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.
