Has anyone done the conversion from 2 disc to 1 disc on a Road King? If so where can I get some info at?
Thxxx

 

many threads on here do a search. for parts any 41 mm front end ie: fat boy with single disk will work. also will need different front brake master cylinder. caliper rotor and new brake line

 

Would be very interesting in knowing how it affects stopping and if it is possible with ABS? I know it would look great!

 

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.
