Well all done. The 08 Brembo brakes fit right on my old 03. Harley was just a little slow getting all the parts to me but no big deal. This mod. included steering head bearing rebuild, " Swing By" adjustment of steering head bearings, new lower sliders, Screaming Eagle Heavy fork oil at spec. fill height, 08 Harley Brembo calp., rotors, 08 master cyl., 08 clutch lever and Continental tires front and rear. All this for about $1,000. The brakes have that great Brembo bite. Two fingers is all you need to haul down to stop quickly and I am still in the break in phase. Pads are a lot easier to change than the old Harley brakes. Conti. tires handle good, proably better than the chassis can stand. But at $50 less PER TIRE than Dunlops I will be careful and keep trying different pressures to see just how well they might just be! Thanks to everyone who gave input and suggestions.
