I can't imagine that progressive brakes can come close to matching the perf of 3 4 piston Brembo brakes unless it is in their overpricing. Tom


Yeah that would be an awesome vid to see/hear. I mean a track bike is one thing to have but a daily rider that you can take to the track now and then sounds even more fun. The bike that MudPuddle has is plenty fast for me and his numbers are impressive but I have a fealing yours might top his.

I thought I was the only guy over 50 in Alberta that put more than chrome on a Dyna. Mind you I've just got a measly 103 in mine...how about a shot of your bike? It's a 35th Anniversary model? Love that paint job...

Wife's not happy with the back brake and her FXDL; it's obviously all in the caliper if you got a substantial improvement with a switch to a HD Brembo caliper and still have the stock rotor and master cylinder.

I would love to hear that thing purring though.....MAN!!!
Sorry for the "off topic" comment, but, we live on a heavily traveled (post card worthy) road that runs the Misissippi river, and I am amazed at the quantity of "Boss Hogs" I see and hear go by with the small block chevy's in them.
While most bikes (espescially those b*sterdly little crotch rockets) come up out of the valley @ about 90mph to suck cars up, those 350's are not much off of idle the way they sound.

Can't imagine trying to hold one upright let-alone squeezin the trigger out on the open road. Crazy lookin rides, yikes......

Sorry abt the link go to photobucket and search for REEDTH_photos and you should find them I havn't figured how to post the link. I am an O/O trucker and haul containers from central AB to the coast and back. Tom

As far as HP I havn't had it on the dyno so dont really know but I would be dissappointed if it is under 160, when doinmg tuning it didn't really start to run right till I put the estimated HP in the twintech unit at 180 but I dont really know. tom
