Default Single or Dual?

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?

You can never have to much stopping power, DUAL for me.

They say you don't loose the stopping power, maybe even works better. Larger rotor and 6 piston caliper.

mmollo,

Your bike it pretty close to what I was thinking about doing to mine. PC work with chrome wheels. Nice bike and good to see what it may look like. Was a bit worried it was too much black.

I would go with the 3" and 6 piston, as recommended above. If you are going to spend big bucks on wheels, you don't want to cover them, do ya? LOL. Man, I sure wish I could afford some new wheels.

Even though it's one thing I haven't done yet.......the more "GO" you have, the more "SLOW" you need! This isn't just about bikes but about ANY powered vehicle! More engine power? Need more stopping power! More wheel weight? Need more stopping power! To be completely honest? Can you have too much horsepower? Sure, theoretically, I guess. Can you have too much braking power? Hell, no!

Like I said above, I am pretty sure you don't loose any stopping power with the larger rotor and 6 piston caliper. Can anyone confirm?
