V-rod Brembo caliper on superglide
I knew we shared the 49mm forks with the v-rod. I saw my Dyna Superglide had the same rotor part number as the Brembo equiped V-rod streetrod. I ordered a left side caliper and it bolts right up. I compelted the job with new black Goodrich lines. It comes complete with sintered pads and even though I only have a few miles on it I am very happy with the one finger stopping power. Oh yeah, caliper is $138 plus shipping from Zanotti HD!

I've got a new idea could we use the lower fork legs, brakes and wheels off a V-ROD for some massive stopping power?

so did you just did the caliper or rotor also?
if so, pretty much just an even swap if you didn't want to do a new line?

tdshepard,
That setup looks great. That should really help with the Dynas poor front brakes. I have one of the H-D Diamondback braided brake lines. Will it work with that caliper or would I need a different line?
Thanks,
John

Did you try a different brand of brake pads on the stock caliper?
By changeing out the stock rubber line and going to better pads, you probably could've improved stopping power without spending so much cash...unless you were just wanting something different looking also.
