Many months prior to this we fitted dual-discs with our '10 Harley Dyna Street Bob using all H-D pieces. Though this tech work was a sufficient improvement within the already intsalled single disc, we thought we would go on it one step further and make the best in front braking.
Getting a set of Jaybrake's J-Six Ultra Six-Piston calipers ($799.90) we're sure that our harley-davidson would certainly achieve significant braking power. The more pistons a braking mechanism has, the better the system functions. Mainly because more pistons across the backside surface of the pad apply a more constant stress producing increased amounts of heat dissipation. This decreases acceleration faster and reduces braking distances.
Using Jaybrake , we were definitely heading towards being the king of front braking, but there was still something missing. Knowing that we planned to look for the best working brake rotors, we went with a pair of Lyndall Racing Brake's Phoenix Lug Drive ceramic discs that provides a genuine technical enhancement within the factory setup. Lyndall's rotors come with a full-floating aluminum carrier/friction ring combo offered in both 420 high carbon or a working gradient proprietary metal matrix composite. We picked the matrix rotors because of their benefits over steel. Metal matrix is actually a material that is built from the merging of two substances that better handle the stress of braking over a single element.
The advantage of metal matrix rotors is heat dissipation. A lesser amount of heat means less friction, so when the binders are on, the lower heat generated from utilizing a composite keeps brakes from fading drastically. One other beneficial outcome of having a metal matrix through steel is a reduction in weight of up to 60 percent per rotor. Since your wheel is a spinning mass, the less it weighs means the quicker acceleration and deceleration you'll get.
Also, we picked a matching pair of Lyndall Racing Red Plus pads as opposed to the factory parts from Jaybrake. Why, you ask? The Lyndall offerings make use of what is called "transfer film technology." This means that the brake pads leave a film of friction substance over the rotor's braking area, so when the brakes are applied, the friction component is rubbing against itself thus giving enhanced results over the 2 different components included in most braking setups. A complication of the transfer film concept is that there is no brake particles to clean up.
We brought the Dyna into our secret bike port and replaced the braking systems ourselves to show precisely how simple it is to get the ultimate brake setup with a few bucks and just a couple of work hours.
01. The boys started by putting the Lyndall Rotors to our Dyna's OEM front rim. We used a lot of thread-locking compound and stiffened all the bolts to factory specs.
02. We fitted the fresh brake pads in the Jaybrake six-pistom calipers and fitted them on the fork of the bike, tightening the mounting bolts close to stock specs to check for kind of clearance issue.
03. Using the pad-to-rotor clearance checking out within specification, we hooked up the brake lines to the Jaybrake calipers and added extra brake fluid to the main cylinder.
04. As soon as the fresh braking system was bled and inspected for any kind of leaking fasteners or tubes, the boys stiffened everything up to spec as per our user's guidebook.
05. The improved brakes carried out much better than we anticipated. So much so that all of us was required to adjust our driving method to the massive amount of braking force we acquired. Nevertheless it was worth the effort to enjoy such reliance aspiring "sportbike-style" braking over a 700-plus-pound motorbike.
Remember, no matter how good your upgrade may well be, it remains essential to wear protective german carbon fiber motorcycle helmet to make sure we do not get serious head injuries when an accident occurs.
