I have take several trips riding 2 up and I have not found the brakes to be a problem. I have locked them twice due to cagers and they worked fine then. I do admit I don't go charging up to a light and hammer the brakes, I just throttle back and downshift and I find that I really don't need to apply brakes except for the last 50 feet but I just put a little pressure on the lever to show the brake light. I have close to 2000 miles and no problems so far.
