Default front brake rotor

got an 05 heritage classic,absolutly love the bike.having said that,i've noticed that alot of the other harley davidsons have got dual front brakes.now i know it's not a tour bike,but fully loaded with a passenger it,s got the weight to justify it i think?has anyone ever added one.does it need it , and if so any prices would be appreciated.thaks

Default RE: front brake rotor

Your stock brakes will stop you all you stuff and a passenger (even biggens) without a problem. To convert to dual you will need a new fork lower, rotor caliper, brake line splitter, brake line, and master cylinder and I'm not sure, but you may need to replace the front wheel or hub for the rotor. If you really want more stopping power, you will spend less and get better braking by switching to a 4 piston caliper and a floating rotor for about 1/3 the cost of dual rotors. I do like the way a dual rotor looks though.
