Front End Reborn
This is the year I've decided to finish off the front end of my bike. I'm on a 2015 FXDB that I have owned since new. Currently the front end of my bike is mostly stock. Forks are 100% stock. I've upgraded the brakes a few years ago with speed merchant radial mounts, a caliper off a R6 and a Brembo 15 RCS master cylinder. I've been planning this since I've had my bike but have not had the funds until now. Most parts have now been ordered.
On tap
GP Suspension cartridges.
Dual Brake tech rotors.
Brembo 19RCS master cylinder.
Second caliper and mount.
Brake lines.
New brake pads.
Some Ti bolts to finish it off.
Some parts have already started to arrive. There is be plenty of photos to follow of the parts and rebuild.
As it sits.

What was the lead time on the rotors? I'm planning on ordering a pair of Axis rotors as well, from Braketech/Howard. I'm just debating 320 vs. 330mm now. I'm currently running radial calipers on SM mounts (like you) with HD 11.5 floaters. I've contacted SM about using a 320, and they felt I could keep my current brackets and shim for the larger rotor. Is this what you're planning on doing? They make brackets for 13" rotors, so that's what I would do if I decide on 330s (which is what I'm leaning towards).
