Nice setup you got there. Is that the Arlen Ness 15" brake upgrade up front? How do you like it? Did you notice a significant upgrade over the OEM front brake?
not my style but great job...
the more I see the Street Bob, the more I like it, a simple, sripped-down bike with a big engine and a cool attitude...
Thank you!

It is yeah, I like it a lot, definitely a lot stronger braking. It also opens up the sightlines for the center of the wheel whereas the stock one is basically a plate in there that blocks your view. The rear is a Ness wavy rotor also.

Thanks! No, the rear is dropped 1.5” with the Kodlin kit. Between the 18 in rear and the larger 23 in front it’s roughly half an inch difference, so the disparity between the two drop lengths evens it out pretty closely.

Thank you! I love it too. This bike originally had the black and orange tins on it and I worked to find someone who wanted to swap. It was a good day when I found him!

Good to know, I think will upgrade to those brakes when I do my suspension next year.
