Single Left Side Brake Lines?
Alright fellas, I finally got all parts installed. I have only ridden from the shop back to my office so I don't have a good feel for actual touring. But, I can tell you that the brakes do feel a little different. Not bad, just different. Obviously, the handling is a little different as well. But, only at low speeds. On the highway, it seemed to track better. I think this is going to work out just fine. I went with 21 wheel, HHI 6 piston caliper, 13" rotor, single brake line. I did NOT change the master cylinder. I will run this a while and see if there is a need too. So far, so good. Thanks for the help/tips.


Nice looking ride. I take it the only reason to do this is for style/looks and show off that front wheel? I am bout to finish some changes myself and at that point of purchasing a new custom Renegade wheel. Sure would see more of it without dual rotors but not sure I want to give up the extra brake. But as some else has pointed out how often do you really bind up the front. Undecided here....and I have ABS to deal with as well.
Thanks for the kind comments.
Yes, I primarily did it for looks. I very rarely have a passenger and am a rear brake kind of guy. I did get out last night for some more testing. Braking definitely not as responsive as factory, but nothing that I can't deal with. At low speeds, bike seems more top heavy (makes sense) I went from a 16 to a 21 front... I think once I get used to it, It will not be a issue at all.
But, highway speeds seem smoother. I think it rides better at 80 mph than before.
Here's a couple more pics to help you decide..
