Maybe one day I will have a bike with a tach or a gas gauge, until then me and my 96 fxstc will keep on rolling.

A tach is easy to add.

I wouldn't have guessed those things would get rid of the vibs.

I think a person can change the gear ratio(s) and stick with the 5 speed.

But there are a lot of single caliper options out there which people report to be much better than stock and maybe an easier conversion than dual disc.

How much does it cost to have a shop do a dual disc conversion or one of the single caliper options such as the "performance machine caliper"?

I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to do the labor myself. I have a basic hand tool set and don't know a huge amount about mechanics.

It would be a lot cheaper and easier to upgrade your caliper to a 4 or 6 pot caliper.

Having done a 1 - 2 disk conversion I can tell you it ain't cheap.

Anyone have any idea what it would cost to upgrade to a four or six pot caliper?

I'm not sure what bike you have, but for my '91 FLSTC the PM-0053-2915-CH 4 piston front caliper was $405. Stops a heck of a lot better than the stock caliper. Next will be the rear caliper.

Takeoff 4 pots from early TC's (not ABS) are all over Ebay cheap. I picked up 2 with brake line for about $85 bucks shipped.

Thanks. This is good to know and remember. I'm surprised there's a lot of them out there. Are many stolen?

Wrecked, I imagine. Totaling a bike for insurance purposes is pretty easy. Also, I'm sure some folks with the early 4 pots want to go to Brembos, or PMs, or whatever...... We HD guys are never really satisfied.
