It seems to be the same set-up they have been using on FLSTS's since 97...The single piston stock brake is not the greatest...Hawg Halter makes a direct bolt-on in chrome or black. 4 Piston..Nice set-up.

I couldn't be happier! Great ride, handling, and braking. Brakes just like my Dyna did. I wouldn't recommend buying one though, pretty soon everyone will have one.

It handles more like a big bike, but the ride is great. It's still stock, so it couldn't hang with the SG in a drag race. That really suprised me. It's no dog, but I expected the TC96 to be more powerful compared to the TC88. We'll see here in a couple weeks what some new pipes, intake, and PCIII do for it.
