#439053 JGR (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 single front brake? 6 Months ago   I am thinking about removing one of the front brakes on my bike,removing everything on the one side. My question is; would it matter what side I removed??? I will be staying with the stock setup on the one side. Thanks   Logged     JGR   The administrator has disabled public write access. #439057 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2386 Re:single front brake? 6 Months ago   shouldn't matter which side. Question, why do you want to reduce your stopping power ?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #439061 JGR (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:single front brake? 6 Months ago   I did consider that, doing it more for looks; going to change the front spokes out and want them to be seen better from the one side. Probably don't make sense but!   Logged     JGR   The administrator has disabled public write access. #439065 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 1824 Re:single front brake? 6 Months ago   Others have done this but I think found that they had to squeeze a lot harder to get the same stopping power. The fix is a smaller diameter master cylinder to increase the leverage. The V-Stars with only one rotor have the rotor on the left side.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #439066 mkayx (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1125 Re:single front brake? 6 Months ago   with no disrespect but i do not understand you guys that want a single disc in the front it may look better when you have custom rims but you are still cutting the stopping power of a 600-800 pound bike depennding if if a bobber to a dresser. i know plenty of hd riders that would love to have duel disc fronts me i want to incease the stopping power steel braided lines sintered pads soft compound tires ect. it is great to go fast go quick have a bike that is nimbble but you need all the stopping power you can get. just my 2 cents   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #439088 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..
