Front Brake question
Hey guys, I was thinking about putting on Chrome lower fork tubes and also adding a second disc brake on the other side. I just put on a 21 inch wheel and has mounts for 2 rotors. I have an 06 low rider. I see they make a kit for the 04-05's which includes a fork tube with rotor, caliper and brake line and master cyclendar. My plan is to get the chrome lower fork tubes for the V-rod. Both are chrome and are for 49mm tubes. Looks to me like it'll work and I thought I read here someone had done it them selves also. So I was thinking v-rod chrome fork tubes because both tubes have brake calilper hangers, a brake rotor and new brake line that supports 2 rotors. Unless the master cylendar is a big deal I'd change that too.
What Im wondering is if you add a second rotor do you really need to change the master cylendar. Do you guys think the stock one will support a second brake or will it need more volume or bigger resivour for it ? I'm thinking the stock one may work ? Then again I dont know much about hydrolic brakes. The one in the kit does'nt look any different to me. What do you guys think?

Yep I get that part, but do you think the stock master cylendar will run 2 calipers ? or most likely need to buy the bigger one if its bigger. I havent verified it but I assume the one with the kit is a larger capacity. Thanks for the reply.

RE: Front Brake question
Got it, I'll be upgrading then to the one from the kit, just thought I'd see what you all thought, I guess I was hoping to cheap out on that part, but as you've said brakes aint something to go cheap on. I asked the dealer and of course they said I'd have to upgrade, but wanted to make sure they werent just trying to sell me something I didnt need. Thanks again for the input guys !
