I knew we shared the 49mm forks with the v-rod. I saw my Dyna Superglide had the same rotor part number as the Brembo equiped V-rod streetrod. I ordered a left side caliper and it bolts right up. I compelted the job with new black Goodrich lines. It comes complete with sintered pads and even though I only have a few miles on it I am very happy with the one finger stopping power. Oh yeah, caliper is $138 plus shipping from Zanotti HD!

 

Very nice thanks for the info and please update as you get more ride time. Thanks

 

so did you just did the caliper or rotor also?

if so, pretty much just an even swap if you didn't want to do a new line?

 

I've got a new idea could we use the lower fork legs, brakes and wheels off a V-ROD for some massive stopping power?

 

Care to share the part #'s you used??? Does the caliper come in black???
Looks Good

YES. You need both v-rod lowers, but they come up often on ebay as those guys upgrade to chrome. You would probaly want a duel disc master cylinder as well. I thought long and hard about it but the real problem is the wheel issue, I just didn't want the spoked v-rod wheel with its radial tire and aftermarket was too much bucks. I know the Bob wire wheels can accept duel discs so that might be a possibility............

 

caliper only on a superglide that comes with rotor 44553-06A Note how the brembo brake line leaves the top and your stocker leaves the bottom. For a clean look replace the line and get rid of that rubber hose crap.........

 

Yes, avalible in black. You must use rotor 44553-06A as it is 3/8 larger in diameter (stock on superglide) the left silver caliper is 44506-06. You will need to buy one short caliper bolt and a v-rod banjo bolt/ bleeder 41752-06

 

tdshepard,

That setup looks great. That should really help with the Dynas poor front brakes. I have one of the H-D Diamondback braided brake lines. Will it work with that caliper or would I need a different line?


Thanks,
John

 

Did you try a different brand of brake pads on the stock caliper?

By changeing out the stock rubber line and going to better pads, you probably could've improved stopping power without spending so much cash...unless you were just wanting something different looking also.
