HI ALL, Anyone upgrade HD brakes on their bike??brembo calipers or rotors?
I have 07 ultra and want to do something with stopping power of this beast.
It will be nice to use one hand to pull the brake lever to stop.

thanks

 

I stop my 07 ultra on a dime with 2 fingers,, stock!

 

wow.. i envy youlol

 

maybe you could squeeze a tennis ball with your right ahnd when not riding,,,
it helps to have some muscles,, once in a while!!
lol

 

While I do think the stock HD brakes will stop just fine for most people, sounds like you want more. Nothing wrong with that. While I haven't tried Brembo on a touring bike, I believe the Buells come stock with Brembo components. Those things have the best brakes on anything I have ever ridden.

I think you could improve your stock set-up fairly economically by adding floating rotors, Lyndall Racing Brake pads, stainless braided lines. Lyndall Racing also makes some really high end floating rotors that are supposed to be the cats a$$.

Braided lines and good ceramic pads will make them what you want.

Can somebody tell me what good a floating rotor is? I don't know and I'm just curious. Thanks , Stafford

 

This could be interesting tread, as I believe that we have all the brakes we need, now the proper use of them would be more informative.
