Just completed a suspension and front brake upgrade. Got the Wilwood calipers and rotors to replace my tired old 1989 originals, along with new stainless brake lines.

Before:



After:

 

Installed these today

 

Just bought a pair in black for my twin disc conversion, see what ya mean about the bleed screws, was figuring to bleed em off the bike suspended higher then master cyl, I've done this many times with sports bikes, use a piece of angle iron same thickness as disc, bleed em though and yr done

 

Those sure a purdy.

 

I just replaced my stock calipers with Willwoods along with new SS lines. A world of difference.

 

Nice to see others are getting good results from these. A little over a year after putting mine on, I'm still very happy with them.

 

From what I have read & researched, the Wilwood are about the most aggressive calipers , out there.
That's the main reason I went with the PM brand.
I was new to disc brakes on 2 wheels & wanted to start out moderately.
But after having the PM ( rated # 2 behind Wilwood) if & when I get another bike, Wilwood will be going on.
Don't get me wrong the PM are plenty.
Grab a handful you better be ready. But I would like to try the Wilwood.

Ride Safe,
Harold

 

Im still happy with my Pm. Think they do just what I needed for the WG. I don't want overkill and slide my front tire out from under me.

 

I had a wilwood dual piston on the rear of my rigid for years and that thing worked awesome. That being said I have a performance machine four piston differential bore caliper on my softail right now and that thing stops! Both brands are serious improvements over the stock shitty oem calipers

 

Curious how many miles you guys are getting out of the pads on the Willwoods? Anyone had to rebuild one, parts easy to get?

Cheers,

Zach
