I got to test out the stopping power on my new lowrider today.

I had just gotten off work and had an hour of daylight left. This meant I could get a quick ride in. On my way back on a two lane road I see a semi up ahead and can't see any traffic behind it. As I pass the cab of the semi I notice an f350 turns from behind the semi into my lane and slowly pulls into a driveway. I felt that this was a good chance to practice my maximum braking skills. Using both brakes I slowed fast and swerved around the clueless cager. I did chirp the rear tire a bit however, I was impressed. It didn't help that when the cager noticed me he stopped and stared like a deer in the highlights.

My new Harley stayed shiney side up today friends!

 

The new low rider has excellent braking power. have been on a trip with mine, riding double and travel gear, maxed out on weight, was totally comfortable with the brakes.

 

I did the same on my '14 Low Rider this past summer when I was passing a semi. I was in the left lane and halfway past his rear most trailer coming down a 6% grade when he suddenly decided he wanted to drive in the left lane too. I swerved onto the paved shoulder and piled on the brakes as a guard rail was coming up. I chirped the rear a bit, but it was very stable and the bike slowed down extremely fast and I easily tucked in behind the semi before we got to the guard rail. Needless to say when we got to the bottom of the hill and I was able to get up by his cab he knew what I thought of him.
