I feel my stock rotor and Jaybrake 6 piston stops as good as stock. Which doesn't mean it stops on a dime by any means. I'm sure a 13" rotor would stop better than what I have. I just got an HD "floating" rotor that I haven't put on yet. I'll be curious if it improves braking at all.

What my set-up does do is:
1) shows the wheel more
2) makes cleaning a helluva lot easier

If you go single disc you need to think about changing the right side lower fork with one that has the caliper tab removed.

Almost ready to pull the trigger on some 21/18 wheels for the Street Glide but I am undecided on single or dual brake setup. Any comments on the single vs the dual to help me decide?
There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to a single disc brake over a dual disc. I'm not sure why you would even consider it.
