Go to: willyshiny.com. They have four heavy wire loops that push through the center of the rim, just pop them on.

No new updates yet. I'm still using PM's rear brake setup but had to go back to the stock HD's master cylinder. PM said they are redesigning the master cylinder and we should know something this fall or winter or next spring or?

I think if its this winter I'm going to be all over them like white on rice. This should be their top priority.

Hey, SEAlaskin or msock3 could you lock up your rear wheels like screwball before you installed your new brakes. I don't think I could get mine to slide in gravel. I have had it to the shop twice and they think it is alright. I use alot of front brake when stopping.

I can lock up my rear brakes but I have Lyndell brake pads if that makes a difference.

Yeah, when on gravel, loose dirt on concrete or black top or wet surface and every time I did it would be only one tire not both. I also use the front brakes the most, the most aggravating part is the front pads last along long time, why can't the rear pads last as long as the front?

Yes it should be their top priority and I also will be all over them "soon". I should make a list of exspences "time & labor" "frustration" they caused.
