Does anybody know the thread pitch of the stock risers? Does 1/2"-13 TPI course thread sound right?
I'm trying to plan out my winter mods, and I think the big ticket items will include pulling the front end apart to powdercoat some stuff. I was looking at these from Revzilla to help clean up the massive bolt heads for the risers.

Heard on the internet that the BO is on its way out of production. Would you still buy it bnew? I know that if you like it then get it words of wisdom, Is it practical to get it now or wait til 2021 if its true or not.

I replaced my factory rotor and caliper with Performance Machine parts. The rotor is larger in diameter which increases mass and swept area. The caliper is bigger (6 piston vs 4 piston) which increases clamping area and force. Works great.

The Ness rotor is JUST a rotor? No caliper? What is the advantage over the H-D rotor?

The bigger rotor would increase swept area and mass.
Sounds like a good upgrade as long as the rotor is manufactured correctly, which it probably is, being a Ness part.
The next step would be a better caliper.
