Mimo, they are really cool but I think there has been some issues with them, send over an email to shooter64 and he'll give the straight story and a great price. He carries them and I thought a while back one of the members had something go wrong and Bart took care of it for him. Do a search also.

I have been looking at those but don't know anyone who has them. From what I understand the brake pad or pads apply pressure all the way around the rotor. Don't know how it works. They look great. You can actually see the wheel.

I'll talk to Shooter to get a clearer picture of the system's operation,

Bryanttm had em for a while.
Something about the design of the piston retaining heat and boiling the fluid causing failure.
I remember they were supposed to have worked it out.
I wanted them, but you have to use custom wheels, which blew my budget... Still trying to figure out a new front brake.

Yes actually the custom machined wheels that I was looking atwere $1K each, that would still be ok if the brake drumsweren´t also $1K each... [&:]
So I´m back at the wire wheels option again...

Mimo,
Stay away from these they are very problematic and the company is crap to say the least. Do some searching and you can get the low down. I have this system on my Road King and it has been nothing but problems I just don't have the funds to swap it out yet.
As for Pickard those are a great group of guys and I think you will start seeing a lot of good things out of them. They are about 15 mins from me in Richardson TX and I got the opportunity to go over and hang out with them one afternoon at the shop. They are doing something with a 2D mill that some people have not figured out with 3D yet. Top notch wheels at a good price.
BTW I am no way affiliated with Pickard don't even have their wheels just had a chance to meet them, check out their shop and their product when I was building my Road King.
