How much more stopping power did that Front Rotor give your bike? What pads did you go with?
I'm thinking about getting a crown cut rotor for my bike with gold pads to upgrade the front brake's stopping power.

On my 2018 FLFB I have noticed several times now when I fill the tank to full, the meter never shows full, has anyone else had this and what could it be?

It does that if you dont top off the tank entirely.
I lift the nozzle up a bit so I can top off the tank entirely and It fills the entire fuel gauge bar.

Then I have no idea.

I fill mine up to that level too. I guess it may be a problem with your gas float?

On my Fat Bob I drilled a hole at the very top, made filling much easier, maybe I should do that with the Boy too, although I've never had a problem with the fill level indicator before august.

I indicate what I mean because I recently sold the Bob and can't show that.
