OK, ya ole know I'm a newbe with H-D and yeah, love the bike gives me a H-Dick but the brakes are somewhat confusing - they never really let me know if they will stop me so I'm thinking?

1# 13" rotor up front full floating

2# 6 pot calipers (maybe PM or Brembo)

3# maybe up-date brake MC to radial (not sure)

4# full floating on the rear and aftermaket 4 pot

5# SS rear brake lines (front already done)

Am I on the right track, should improve the brakes enough to cover the $1500 outlay?

Anyone done this or something better?

Prices are from Fleabay sellers, maybe we could work our a group buy if enough people were into it? Maybe?

Hi Poddy, what model & type HD do you have?

just asking as one big disc with a lot of caliper has the potential to pull your front forks out of line, if you don't have a good fork brace.

some models you can get a dif fork leg one side and run twin front disc. my m8 has twin six piston race PM's with big floating disc's and could not stop his Top fuel Harley at over 320kph they are ok but not magic.

 

Hi Krash, grt8 feedback and to answer your question, 2006 Deluxe
No bracing on forks (yet) plan to change out lower forks as the current ones are badly pitied (cosmetic I know) and springs need to be done or at least change the fork oil, 4 yr old, 20,000 klms, k's not the issue just 4 years is a bit long for any fluid IMHO.

Which way should I go to improve the brakes? Maybe just up-date the caliper or MC or both or what?

Cheers
Poddy

Poddy,
I've got a '08 softail standard, single disc, I bought some of the brake pads of Scotty some time back LINDALL PADS front and back. I've got no complaints about braking .
