13" rotors & 6 piston caliper
Has anyone got a 13" rotor and 6 piston caliper on their Dyna? Especially a Wide Glide. I am seriously considering doing this to my 2001 FXDWG and would really like to know if someone has already done it and whether it was worth the cost, or not.

Hi,
I did this setup for my -02 WG. RC Components 13" floating rotor + PM 6-piston caliper. Still seating the pads (that came with calipers) of course and maybe expecting too much but have to say I feel a bit disappointed.. Compared to stock setup with Lyndall pads small gain in braking power and feel but not much really. Hoping to gain more when putting Lyndall pads to this one too.
edit 07-07-2011:
After pads seated properly feels and brakes better, of course not sport bike -like but much better than stock. Put Lyndall Z-Plus pads a couple weeks ago and although no performance gain compared to PM's default sintered pads they might be more gently to the rotor?

I contacted Performance Machine about their Calipers & Disk. I have the stock cast wheels which are mounted to the rims and not the axle hub.
They have a disk, but it won't work with their calipers. However, their performance calipers will work the stock disk. So it's one or the other.
Did not want the dual disk set-up. I was trying to get a brake system similar to the Buell's, a large 13" rotor with a 6-piston caliper for a cast wheel.
If you have wire wheels, should not be a problem finding a brake system,
