A 131 in a Heritage would be a blast…I like the sleeper idea. Old school looks with modern acceleration equals big fun.

How does the ABS know if there is three calipers or two? I’m looking at my LRS and there is only one sensor on one front caliper? The master cylinder would need to be larger to push more fluid is a given.

Arlen Ness makes a big brake kit for soft tails. I wanna say the front disk is 15in or something. Uses stock caliper.

I'm guessing you need Arlen Ness wheels to use their rotor adapter kits?

Really useful video on there about the 131" Fat Billy build. Been looking for vids like that. Got it bookmarked. Thanks for posting.

The Arlen Ness big brake rotor kits do not fit the fat boy. I tried both, they do not.
They will grind up your paint and metal of you try to install them.

Whats with these parts manufacturers optimistically listing their parts as fitting bikes they obviously don’t fit..? With my 93 fxsts I’ve now been through two different manufacturers who say their floating discs fit my front and rear. Both the rivets where the brake surface and the inner attach, rub the caliper and pads on both sides as you spin the wheel.
