Default FXDWG rear brake

I have a 2013 WG and the rear brake is a joke. I can literally stand on it without locking up the wheel. I've been thinking about upgrading to a PM caliper. Anyone out there running one and what do you think of it?

Eventually that will be my mod front and back, but quality brake pads like Lyndall or EBC will greatly increase you stopping power for fraction of the cost.

If you can afford the PM caliper then right on and get'em, you won't be disappointed.

Might want to check the system out first I have the exact same brake parts as you and zero issue locking the wheel up I have to be careful not to in a panic stop.

Stock brakes are very good when working properly.

Better figure out what's wrong with it and get it fixed. Not normal.

Something is definitely not Kosher with your brake. I'm betting that there's a small air bubble in the line.
