Platinum Boarder Posts: 3152 Re:Front brake question 1 Year, 2 Months ago   You do realize that the 04 and up calipers are stationary and your 00 one was floating. You may end up with problems as your rotors are stationary also. Everything up to and including 03 had stationary rotors and floating calipers. Everything 04 and up have floating rotors and stationary calipers. Not sure how your setup is going to perform for you but as it is your brakes I would be VERY careful.   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/10/22 21:27 By Curt.   Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #46945 Greysnake (User) BB sold all the beer and bought a stratoliner.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3004 Re:Front brake question 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Naw flashback,avn is trying using a single disk instead of the duel The 04 and up are a bit larger I believe. and the 04 up uses a floating disk vs fixed . Your fine If I'm wrong here flash correct me.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #46955 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4598 Re:Front brake question 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Thanks Graysnake,,I was Just wondering,,, I figure my bike stops better than anything else I have ever ridden.. I really don't want to lock up the front wheel anyway.. I know I can,, but don't want to..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #47087 avn514 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 38 Re:Front brake question 1 Year, 2 Months ago   Tnx everybody for the help! As for the front brake effenciency, I didn't experienced binding. I looked at different Road Star year/models, and some canadian model (spoke wheel)uses fixed rotor/disc combo. So, I doubt an average rider like me will notice the difference. I think however I"ll switch the master cylinder for a Warrior unit....   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #48739 newroadie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 206 Re:Front brake question 1 Year, 2 Months ago   I also have a front brake question and didn't know the best way to ask it, so thought I would try here. I have a 2001 Roadie I want to change into a bobber. I want to remove the right side disk rotor and caliper to clean up that side. Does anyone know what that will do for the feel of the brake lever and how it will effect braking? Do I need to change the brake cylinder? I read the article about braking surface and cylinder size and it didn't help. Thanks.

I tried: - stock single setup - stock single setup with SS line - R1 caliper with SS line - R1 caliper and R1 rotor with SS line - R1 caliper, R1 rotor, Warrior MC with SS line The second last setup is almost equivalent to the stock dual setup and the last is a bit better. I can lock up my front end at 20 mph (don't want to try it at a higher speed. ) Doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access.
