Brembo have always made good brakes.

i think only thing you need to worry about is to check your disc rottor same diamiter or larger  & that your master cylinder has same bore size.

but to me best brakes of all time are on the front of late model Buell's think 6 piston PM but that big rottor helps a lot

another important thing to think about is your bikes weight & your weight as if you just put brakes off a light bike onto a heavy bike they still won't work any better. like trying to pull up a truck with a big load on. just thought i'd point this out.

Performance Machine 6-pot callipers if you can stretch the budget otherwise their 4-pots are kick-arse.

Check your master cylinder, it should be 11/16", upgrading to braided lines also helps increase pressure, HD or Goodridge are best.

Mate, your '08 has a Brembo 4 piston caliper as standard !

The brakes were "Improved" from 2007 with a different caliper and braided hose as stock fitment.

My 2008 Custom has the best (stock) brakes I've seen on a big twin Harley to date.

What I'm saying is you may do all the research on V-Rod brakes and work and still have no better results.

Remember they are lighter than your fatty AND they have 2 discs and calipers !

Guys /Roberto -I have done the conversion on my 07 deuce -pics in softail section.
I used V-rod brakes which are the larger diameter ,but the standard disk will work-a floating disk & possibly better disc material will give better results-
I used all standard parts as my bike is heavily modified & Vass engineered-so I wanted to avoid arguments with Vic roads ,cops & insurance.
The brembo master cylinder for v-rod & bagger ,which i used is actually 5/8 & not 11/16 as used on nissan twin disc systems.
I disagree that the brembo caliper won't work with a nissan master cylinder-the caliper doesn't know what brand of m/cylinder is being used-its simply matching the fittings at each end -caliper & m/cylinder & hydraulic ratio.
In a single system you could probably use a 9/16 -ie u r original M/cyl & it would work ok as the duel brembo is 1/16 smaller -about 1.5mm than a twin disk nissan and the nissan 9/16 -1/16 smaller than a duel brembo but working only 1 caliper.
I used Lyndell pads & the brakes are great.
hope this helps
Cheers Wayco

Hey Berms-I use a vacuum pump that goes into a jar-with brake fluid-to bleed any hydraulic equipment- 1 man operation & doesn't fuck seals cos there is no pumping the master cylinder-works a treat-i think u can get kits for around $80-100 -had mine a while.
The pump is also used to check vacuum switch's etc on bikes ,machinery & cars -a good bit of kit.
Cheers Wayco

Glad to hear that.

I had posted the zip-tie tip over 2 years ago in the sticky "bleeding brakes" thread

As I mentioned the stock calipers on 2008 and up big twins are well acceptable for a single disc on a BIG bike !!

buy some rope an a small boat anchor keep on ya lap dicko when ya wanna stop throw it out ya left hand side an hold on worked on shovels an panheads in the 70s for me lol
shit cooky i couldnt wait 12hrs to bleed brakes i just got a bick mothafuck of a sarynge an suck the fluid threw worx cool that ways too but the look when you go to buy from chemist lol

Kinda "cut and paste" to paraphrase "Badcooky" as he sees it !

The sticky " Bleeding brakes" is at least 2 years + old FFsake...

And for what it's worth " I really know my shit " , view my other informative posts.

John Wilkes Booth assasinated Abraham Lincoln, is this now a trivial pursuit thread or what ?

As previously posted by me, 2008 and up calipers work well on Harleys. You would only change the brakes for looks or "custom" reasons.

The older EVO's had "Ayatollah Khomeni " brakes ,  ie  " Sh-ite " , and brake upgrades were normal fare back then.
