Big Brake Kit and Brake overhaul
I liked the Ness Big Brake kit on my wide glide. i decided to use one to overhaul, along with front and rear steel lines and a new rear rotor, my sporty brakes. front first

i just took it out to test. there's more bite but i don't know if it's the line or pads, but the days of saggy stop are over. should have done this overhaul long ago.

Having owned Harleys a long time I've tried various things. Aftermarket brake pads can add a little improvement, but I particularly like braided lines. Add the increased leverage your larger diameter rotor provides and you have three separate improvements!

more junk for disk job
new RH ness rotor appeared, will be going out for powder with the rear pulley (and sliders if the are too far apart in finish) next week
stopped by the dealer and coughed up the cash for fork rebuild kits
compared new RH bracket to old LH. good to go.
