Now that the fatty has some poke i thought i better do something about the Brakes

so off to HH today to get new bars and to get a price on Brembo front Brake and almost fell over

with that done i came home and did a few searches to find that a 2010 street Glide had Brembo Front Brakes didnt look for rears

The mount holes centres are the same as the 2000 Fatty but the disc sizes on the 2010 street glide is larger in Diam by 6.35mm bugger all

and with a total cost for a left hand side calliper of  i have new Brke line to fit anyway SS braided line

But before i do this im wondering if anyone has done this or what problems can anyone forsee as im not the sharpest tool in the shed

any input would be very welcomed

Thanks

 

I don't intend on running twin disc just single
so new line ive got as I posted And please read my first post its just left side
dot 4 is no drama and I have a new Master anyway so the only issue I will have is the disc
so there for I have no issue at all
if I was to run twin disc being a fatboy id need fork leg for brakes on the right
Don't want that and as for medical clean who autoclaves Brakes ffs I didn't know brakes need to be sterilized
but not needed as you didn't read my post
I want to keep the old bike looking stock to the average Joe as that's my way
Understated looks my friend and while we are at it you have not posted an Intro thats just bad manners

 

I don't know why Harley doesn't make all their bikes with dual disk brakes just like the Toureres & the V-Rod, the bikes are too heavy to have a single disk up front.

ive got most of this sorted the ONLY THING I need some info / help with is what Disc (rotor ) will fit up to my 2000 Fatboy
as im told I need to run an 11.75 inch disc HH tell me they can help with a 300mm but don't now what one will fit up to the bike
so if there is anyone that has info regarding this it would be Greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Tat2U

I think you may have it sorted?

But if you are still undecided and wondering what to do.

Here is what I did after making my bike go a bit quicker and wanting to stop a bit better.

First option was to put a PM 6 piston caliper on the front. With the standard rotor. It helped a bit,but not much.

Second step was to get a PM 6 piston number but also get the bigger floating 13 inch rotor to match. Much better option.

Maybe that helps, maybe it doesn't.

Thanks Far Canal you have given more food for thought over a few beers
and it is worth me looking into as I need Brakes now in back in Melbourne
there is some crazy fuckers out on the road here

Tat, part #41809-08a is the stock L/H touring disc and will fit with the Brembo caliper, but you may need to countersink the mounting bolt holes.

I fitted the stock touring discs on my 2000 Dyna with the Brembo's , and the original disc mount holes are recessed (counter-bored), and the touring discs

mounting holes are flat, so needed to be countersunk to clear the fork legs. The Fatty' may be different.

Cheers Speedzter looks like im of to the bike shop in the morning
to get the rest of the goodies I need for this Job
I have new bars to fit up next week and some internal wiring to do
so may as well do it all at the same time
busy week for my next week
thanks gents for all your help
Ill be all over these little jobs like a seagull on a hot chip

Better pads help if you want the quick easy way and make a lot of people happier. Search function on the top right of the page on this site is a good start.

Or same as above, get some touring rotors (they sell quite cheap second hand, but work well) for the brembo caliper. Only change the master cylinder if you have too or want to, I didn't. Lever comes back a bit more but doesn't touch the bars, it can apply more pressure at the caliper/calipers with two fingers than the bigger master cylinder and I like it that way.

The bigger master cylinder has different sized fittings for the brake hose. The Brembo calipers need the bigger diameter discs or the pads will be hanging over the edge. Floating Fatbob discs fit the brembo caliper as well.

On mine, Road King lowers went straight on (41mm forks) if you want to go twin disc. They are easy to get second hand as well from the guys who want to swap to chromed gear.
