If sportbikes are any comparison (even weight distribution and forward leaning stance are similar) then approximately 70% of your breaking power comes from the front. This means 26 foot stopping distance with just the front is approximately 20 feet with just the front. Not a huge distance but it could mean hitting an unforeseen obstacle or not, or slowing enough to avoid the object. Just my .02, my brakes suck but Im taking it pretty slow until I can fix them.
