Default Seeking some knowledge.

Hows everyone on doing?

I'm currently in themarket to buy an 08 street glide and with everything I buyI need to customize it. I'm hoping to see ifany one knows how much modification is needed to go from 2 front rotors to a single. I'm heavy into flashy wheels and I think the 2 rotors just covers them up to much. Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not going to be able to help in the direction you want to go, but do want to hope that you think hard before removing any stopping power. I got my first full test on my '08 EG Standard yesterday (an "oh I think I'll turn" deal by the fool in front of me). I found out that I am really glad to have ABS, and that I needed to have every rotor available to man to pull that much weight to a stop.

I havn't had any experience with single rotors either. If you are going to do much 2 up and loaded touring you will want all the stopping power available. My2 cents.
