Default Arlen Ness 15" Jagged Big Brake Rotors, Hub Mount

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have first hand experience with brake rotor from subject?

I was thinking to upgrade my front brakes, but going to dual rotors is a bit to much for me right now and this rotor from Arlen Ness seem like good compromise.
Please help a guy from other side of pond.

I have the dual 14" Arlen Ness set up. I think it is much better than stock.

There are some threads here in the forum about increasing brake rotor diameter, moving the caliper outboard with a bracket, and upgrading the caliper itself. Worth searching for them.

It works. Less pressure is needed with the brake lever.
I can modulate my braking easier.

A forum member @cvaria did this, but not on a Softail, but rather a Sportster.
He also used the HD-Brembo 4-piston calipers from Touring bikes. Here is a picture.

I have a ness big brake kit on my Dyna. Before I had a tokico caliper conversion kit. The ness big brake kit works waaay better. It's worth the money
