Unlike disc brakes. Mine stops great with this combination and I think key word being THINK I read this on the forum somewhere. I hope I'm right cause I don't want to have to change mine.

OK, so this bothered me enough that I went out to the garage. I measured the OD of my brake lines with a digital caliper. My factory style single reservoir has a 1/4" OD hard line that runs to each front brake hose. There is a T-junction block on the PS front line that has a 3/16" line that runs to the rear brakes. The hard line that runs to the back is definitely smaller than the front line. It can't be 3/8" because 3/8" is larger than 1/4". My caliper confirmed it's a 3/16" too.
I'll be able to sleep better now. Haha!
