Default Single brake setup with Brembo?

I'm trying to help a friend who wants to go with custom wheels on his 08 Roadking. He wants to go with a single rotor to show off the wheel.

What front end would work on a 08 road king for a single brake setup? Fatboy maybe?

And would it make sense to use a master cylinder setup for single disc versus plugging the hold for the right caliper on the distribution block?

I ride an 07, so I don't deal with the brembos yet, so am curious from anyone else who has gone single disc on a brembo braked bagger.

Thanks guys!

**BUMP***


Anyone try this yet on an 08 Brembo bike? Or got any advice or tips for parts?

Thanks

I'm running a brembo single side on my 06 street glide. Shaved the caliper bracket off the right side, and had the lower legs chromed. Used a single disc master cylinder, and ran a new stainless line. Works great.

Forgot to add, you can get the lowers already shaved and chromed, for single side setup from fatbaggers.

Thanks for those links. Good ideas there.

Did you just run one brake line off your standard master cylinder down to the caliper?

We may do just that.

edit.

Whoops see you said you changed the master cylinder.
