Problem with the Touring model

I finally got used to it, or else I haven't done any panic stops lately , but the rear on a Touring definitely locks up way too easy. I remember a few years ago someone here wanted to upgrade the rear brake on a Touring, I forget the details, but all I could think was are you crazy?

My Touring rear brake seems much more powerful than the front. Maybe Triumph used the same master cylinder and caliper for the Touring, which has a more narrow rear tire (180) vs Roadster (240)?

I have learned to be "light footed" with the rear brake and "heavy handed" with the front. That seems to work for me.
