Default Front brake set up

Let's make this a sticky. Whatcha think? So I know everyone has their opinions on the best set up for brakes and there have been other threads about it. Why not sticky this so it's easier to read up on. I'm looking for a better set up for the front. I'm going to stay with single disk though. Post your set ups with pics and parts description

I put an Arlen Ness big brake rotor on my 01 Dyna and I am very happy with it. It was easy to install and made a significant improvement in braking. It's less than $300 and uses your existing caliper and pads.

Another vote for the Ness big brake. Best bang for the buck especially when sticking with a single rotor. It's also a good time to upgrade the pads.

A lower buck approach: good stainless lines, rebuilt caliper and EBC pads. A lot of difference there from stock.
