Interesting comment on disc wear. Luke at Sycamore stated they see more wear when folk go for non HD pads but no way of knowing if the brakes were improved or not.
About £350ish for front rotor with billlet caliper relocator, 30% increase in braking power and feel. May pop a floater on the rear too!I may be wrong Buelloke but I think you are going to pay a hefty premium for Arlen Ness.
All their products are really expensive!
What would you rather, superior braking in all conditions (life savers) or compromise and increased life on your rotors?Sintered Pads do wear Discs faster than normal Pads as they contain metal in the Pad compound.
Yes, very hard to see in place. I would advise M8 owners with a single disc to check regularly, as I had one pad almost down to the metal - and the other with plenty of meat left on it!? - in 9k miles from new. Live in London but mainly touring miles.One pad was a lot worse , they are very hard to see in place , I took the caliper off to have a proper look .
I fitted a 15 inch AN rotor on my 08 Dyna, done about 5k miles with it, it is a vast improvement for power and feel, recommended investment with a good front tyre to take it, going to drop some progressive springs into the forks as they become the weak point, bottoming out on stutter bumps on heavy braking a little.I seem to recall reading that EBC HH Sintered were the prefferred choice on early harleys, improved the braking considerably, but then believe harley used organic pads back then like a lot of manufacturers. I've since heard harley use sintered pads, so would still consider changing to EBC HH Sintered once the originals wear out. M8 Streetbobs front brake is just as reviewed by the majority, adequate but nothing more. Intend to fit an Arlen Ness 15inch floating rotor to my bob.
