Dumb Questions - Heritage

    Hi, I've been watching the forum for a while and would like to pick your brains on a couple of typical newb questions.  1)  What pressures do you recommend for a heritage with stock tyres - Dunlop MT90B16s? 

    2)  I normally ride a 1098S, so I;ve been spoilt for handling and braking.  Although the Heritage handles OK for what it is, the front brake is crud.  I saw the thread on brembos (obviously very close to my heart), so I think this is the way to go, but what do others think of the Brembos fitted to stock Harleys?  Are they any good, or just low level Brembos?

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Oh yeh, I'm prepared for the change in riding style, I've been loving referring to it as my big Vespa. Thanks for the tips, I'll see what it feels like at those pressures.

    Stupidly my brake light doesn't seem to be working now...aargh, its on all the time, so I've gotta sus that out! Oh well, something simple I'm sure. I'm determined to take it for its first run tomorrow despite the disgusting heatwave.
