After nearly getting cleaned up by an arsehole who thought it was cool to do a right turn in front of me from the opposite direction through a intersection I have decieded that the woefull brakes on the Electra Glide need to be changed for some thing that actualy has some stopping power , what are the options here , I would like to go from a full fist application to just 2 fingers ( the fist I will keep in reserve for the mongrel in his car should I ever catch up with him ) .

Upgrade to the brembos on the later model ultras. Mine work bloody great on my 2012.

I can't give you any advice, but confirm that the brakes on my 99 FLHT were absolutely woeful. Put up with them for years fearing that dreaded moment.

Replaced it recently with an 08 Street Glide. Absolutely brilliant bike with brilliant brakes! What a difference.

I hope that you get some good advice to solve your problem without too much expense and troubles.

Post up year and model.. If its a early model, there should be plenty of guys that have been down your road before ,, with good upgrade advice !!! I have a later model with brembo , must say I'm happy with them .

I take it where talking about not being happy with your front brake !! Be it front or rear,, how long has it been since you serviced / cleaned / changed brake fluid on your brake system ?? I take it your pads are ok !!
To be honest , if I took a fist full and hard, of front brake , (in a straight line), at say 70-80 kms , it would nearly throw me. I belive your 2007 has the 4 x pistons ,(2x front / and rear.
If you haven't ,, a good clean of your calipers and pistons ,, and a good bleed and total fluid change ,, while your there throw in new pads,, get a good solid firm brake,, and see how that goes .

Hey Peter, I'm just checking out old posts on a day off n came across this one. I'Ve a 97 FLHT w similar brakes. This was nearly a year ago, how did you get on mate?
