So Bareknuckle is running a 25% off sale for the 4th of July and I took advantage. While I had planned on getting a second chopperhauss rotor up front I was really on the fence about spending any more money with then as I have had some issues with their parts in the past. I decided to get the antihero 13" rotors for my dual disc conversion and a matching rear in 11.5 obviously. All that's left to buy are my M4 calipers!
I am going to convert my stock dual front disc setup to Brembo calipers and have some specific questions for those that have previously done this.
Specifics, 2017 cammed 103, RaceTech +2 front suspension, Legends rear. I am looking for better feel and modulation up front. Very little long-distance riding, mostly around town and blasting around here and there.
M4's or GP4's?
Best radial mount? Looking at TC Bros right now
"Ideal" rotor diameter?
Can I leave the stock rotors now and size up later by shimming the caliper bracket?
I am running the OEM 11/16 master, that should be fine right?
So my current tubes are +2 and I'd stay with that height. Currently I have legend cartridges in them. (Not thrilled with them and there is no adjustment) I have the racetec stuff on the shelf already with gold valves and speed merchant preload adjusters. My current tubes are gold but I wanted black but they were out of stock everywhere when I went +2 a couple years ago. I've definitely considered the Olhins and the GP. Good to know there is a slight modification required on the GPs
I had stock length JBH1s for awhile and they were awesome. Much better than the legends I currently have. At the time Bitubo wasn't offering anything in +2... so there's that.

I might have to look into the Bitubo's more. I like that they're so adjustable and tbh, I have yet to hear anyone say anything positive about the Legends carts. My OCD is fighting me on not having a match, front to back, but my want for good handling will win.

That's great to know. My friend is a dealer for Bitubo. I've been considering those as well but just didn't have much feedback on them. He's been running their rear shocks on his bagger and likes them. Maybe since my rear legends are leaking I'll just go Bitubo all the way around. The price is definitely right on them.

Brown Santa brought me a present yesterday (finally!) ...fresh from SpeedKings a pair each of Brembo GP4-RS's and Kraus axial to radial brackets.
As a follow up on my front forks, I am going to get a set of Bitubo's to install this winter. The adjustability looks like just what I want. The more I ride my current setup of RaceTech springs and gold emulators I find them to be jittery on bad roads at speed. They don't really feel loose or unplanted, just f'ing irritating. It's all front end work this coming winter, these Brembo's, the Bitubo's, flush axel from Green Brothers and I think I'll throw a fork brace on while I have everything apart again.
