Brake pads for a 1982 CB750K

bcomer
Guys, I have a 1982 CB750K with a single from disc brake. Is there a set of brake pads available
that would improve the stopping power of this setup over the original pads?

I am very tolerant of brake squeal but need some additional stopping power.

I have searched all the bike specialist for better pads here in Australia and they only have the standard pads for the single disc model which is what I have. I find the hotter the pads get the better the stopping power, but I know there are better stopping pads available for a wide range of bikes but not our model - but will keep looking in the hope that one day I`ll find something better than the standard pads

have you tried to swap to ss lines?

paragonperformance will make lines for you.  I've sent lines to them for duplication and they are nice.  order the coverings on the line and braking should improve considerably.  I'm planning on doing this over the winter.
