Thats a lot of work . The stock size rear brake should not have any trouble at least skidding the rear tire if it worked correctly. Mine will not. I wonder if the bikes with left side brake pedal have the same trouble. The left side being more direct, without the twisting tube. I have not had the opportunity to open up the brake yet, but mine feels as though it has grease on it. Like I said earlier a brake just about that size works just fine on a 500lb XLH. So I doubt its the size thats the problem. It might be just the cam angles are wrong, limiting the leverage that they exert.
