I'll let you know in a week or two (however long it takes to get the parts). I'm using fatbaggers chrome front sliders with one caliper bracket machined off, along with a harley brembo single caliper. If the single brembo isn't satisfactory, I'll try a 6 piston hogpro, pm, or hoghalters setup.

I am waiting on my single brake line (last part I need, shipped from J&P today) to do my chrome front end/single 6 piston caliper/Progressive fork springs on my roadglide. I probably won't be tearing into the bike tho till the snow starts flying, so you go first... lol. Since I can't afford wheels yet dammit, I will need to fabricate some kind of ring to dress up the wheel where the right side caliper is coming off. I bought a set of lower legs off EBAY a year ago and just had ChromeMasters shave the right caliper mount and chrome them.
Yea, I'm waiting on some other parts as well. I called a couple of the chrome shops (I didn't call chrome pros), and told them about my concern about a lot of the wavy looking chrome I'd see on some of the aftermarket legs. One even told me it was a product of poor craftsmanship on the part of the legs. He couldn't guarantee a smooth finish where the bracket was machined off. I know the fatbaggers stuff is a little more, but I decided to bite the bullet.
As far as what to do on the right side of the wheel, I decided to go with a hubcap. That way, if I decide I want change wheels, I'm not limited in trying to sell mine to someone with a one rotor setup. When I ordered the wheel, they offered to send it drilled for one rotor, but I thought it best to go with a hubcap. I'll let you know how it works as soon as I get it done.
