Brake Review
I had been noticing my front brake not feeling normal and seem to be dragging or not fully releasing the rotor disc. After scoping it out I decided to just put on a real made in the USA brake before something bad happened at 70 mph. PM, 4 piston, was my first choice.
Easy bolt on installation and nearly no drag on disc. One finger braking with nice modulation. Nice up grade to Evo

Glad you dig it. I swapped my stock single piston for a pm 4 piston caliper after a close call. It was singly the best thing done to the bike to make it a safer ride. If you didn't swap the front springs yet, a new set for your weight will give you less brake dive and a braided line gives some real solid brake feedback. Keep us posted how you like it.

No change out of some big dollar notes, I suspect!

Of the various things I've done to the FLHTC, the most significant by far was the new front calipers. Saved my bacon recently, in fact.
Good calipers aren't cheap, but they are way cheaper than feeding tubes.

Yes, same front wheel with new tube in it and has been holding air just fine.
