Default calipers & rotors

Softail sliders have the same measurements as does a Dresser. Direct bolt up is a OEM HD Dresser w/300mm rotor. A few others are these that I did. We are also manufacturing a 320mm adapter for OEM HD Brembos. Since I have been doing this for mny years here are some pict.


320mm W/ Real Brembos:

Real twin Pin with my/our 320mm SS/Aluminum rotors & adapters.

320's Hub Mount on a Dresser with real Brembos.


Spoke mount 320mm on HD wheel & prototype adapter for HD Brembo caliper(s). Also works on a Hub Mount the same.


CMC 320mm @ 1#-8 oz.


320mm CCM Hub Mount & Real Brembo's on my 2005 FXDL

Decided to go with a 23" wheel. Thinking a PM 6-piston caliper and 13" rotor might look and work better.

With that large of a wheel, maybe an Arlen Ness 14" or 15" rotor would
look better...

Good idea. I completely forgot about them.
