I am leaning a bit towards the drill side of the argument. I use drilled front and rear discs on my cars, I have a Toyota Supra MK3 I bought many years ago new. They are vented discs anyway but I believe that they promote better braking, reduce heat and in the wet clean quicker. I also have a MB ML270 diesel also with std vented discs but replaced with drilled discs too. Again I feel that they offer superior stopping (2 ton car) less fade due to heat reduction. On the Wing, now here we get to it, as I understand the GL1000 to 1200 have very similar brakes, I also know that from experience they can suffer from brake fade (possibly the pad material) especially from high speed hard stops. In comparison to a modern brake set up I do think that they are really 30 years old! I am seriously considering a secondary slave cylinder set up which should improve the grab, then it comes down to the discs. I have seen over here in the UK some after market discs that drilled in a sweeping pattern possibly of better material (steel) and floating which should I say should improve fast stop braking, problem is they are about £200 each which is quite hefty and of course the question will they fit? see bellow<a href="https://s1206.photobucket.com/user/supratarga/media/Goldwing%20GL1000/ebcdiscs_zps75e477e4.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb443/supratarga/Goldwing%20GL1000/ebcdiscs_zps75e477e4.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>They are EBC so come from a reputable supplier and I would opt for their pads too.Just my 2pence worth  :wave:</blockquote>
