How to do the bypass on the air cleaner tonight and I will be happy.

Very nice! That Big Brake rotor and the caliper adapter seem... familiar...

Great job, you'll love the change...

Took the bike to work today. Great change but man it really shows now how bad the front shocks are OMG talk about noise dive.

Install wasn't bad except I didn't have a 5MM allen wrench for a socket. had to go borrow one.

And getting the brake piston back is sucked *****. LOL. finally install the old pads, and used a screw driver to push agents the two old pads

That took me 30 min to think of.

This is my next install. The brakes on Dynas are shameful. I can stop my RK way faster...What is the caliper adapter for? I though that rotator was basically plug and play...

The Big Brake kit comes with the rotor, caliper adapter, and mounting hardware and it is basically a plug and play install. The caliper adapter is needed to correctly position the caliper on the larger rotor.

natedog_37 sourced out his BB kit; he got the rotor from Cvaria and I sent him the caliper adapter and the mounting hardware to complete the kit.

You can see the caliper adapter in this image I took of my CCE fork brace, it will give you an idea of how the Big Brake kit is set up...

that nose dive is no joke. I added progressive heavy duty springs and 15w oil. Mine is rock solid on braking.
