Just as I suspected.
Can anyone explain why the Roadster got dual discs, while other 1200's did not?
I own several bikes, but have no experience with Sportsters. Can anyone comment on the braking performance of a single caliper Sportster (883 or 1200)?
Thanks

No three day period on cars and motorcycles, things with titles.

the roadster has inverted fork like those on the xr1200x. The rest of the 1200s are the balloon tired models. I guess the hd gaggle of jerks feels that you dont need dual disks.
you can still do it, it will just take some work, new wheel (s), caliper, sliders etc...

asked a lot of the same questions and felt the same about sticking to the iron. Maybe talk to him.

I can lock my front wheel up on my single disc. Can't
get any better. Might be an advantage on a long mountain decent having less fade.
The roadster was dual disc till they quit making it. I don't believe the iron came that way..Could have been ready to add one though. When the roadster came back in 2016 it was dual disc as well.

Thinking about this, I'm not sure I've heard anyone with a 2014-2015
specifically say whether their wheel is "ready" (drilled w/cover plate)
for dual discs. I 'think' I've read where the 2016 Iron wheel was
not pre-drilled w/cover...
Any corrections appreciated.

foot in my mouth, looks like that was 2015.5/2016+

[QUOTE=WKNDS;16090054]Slight correction - either "thru 2013" or "until 2014"...
The OL's 2013 Iron:
That looks fantastic. That's what I wish my 2017 Iron had.
Thanks
