Stock pulley and running the HD rear floating brake rotor too. Can't see it so I didn't buy the matching ones.

With the 2 into 1, I went for the pulley. I'm **** though. But it's the first thing I notice on other bikes..stock rotors and stock pulley. Your in the hole for $2500-$3000 already...what's another $500

If price is not a concern, go with the pulley. Most of our customers that order complete sets for their baggers usually skip out on the pulley. You can save that money to upgrade your front brakes, which is more noticable and worth your while. Good luck!

I didn't go with the the matching pulley when I did my PM 21/18 set-up.But I run a 2-1 pipe and the stock pulley did show too much for my likeing.I went with the $45 HD chrome pulley cover.

I run the Renegade Newport wheels & pully. I'am using the composit Lyndell rotors front & rear. I wanted to see if less rotating mass would handle or brake better. I must admit not much of a difference.

I even skipped the rear wheel! I will admit though, it bugs me at times and on my next bike I will do the rear, but no pully or rotor.
