first off, upgrading the suspension is something most people dont do but i would as well. secondly, theres nothing wrong with the stock brembo brakes. they will lock up either tire with ease. if you think you need something bigger/better then thats on you. i personally think that youre just going to over power the tires even easier and be more inclined to lock them up since they are bias ply cruiser tires and not z rated sportbike sticky compound tires.
not sure where this is coming from since that was first and only negative thing i have said about anything youve done to this bike.
thats the part i didnt get. if you want to ride a bike aggressively enough that those types of upgrades are required, then buy a bike that is designed for that. HDs are meant for cruising.
you dont
i help people upgrade HDs every day so no double standard here.
my dig was aimed at those snake oil fans only.
im curious how many miles have you put on it?

I think this thread is cool!
I don't even know the value of what's being added (never owned a bike with "good" suspension)...but it must be better!

Not to threadjack, but just to show that James isn't the only one out there adding performance parts to a Harley.... my buddy is nearing completion on his Dyna project.

That looks good.

I can resist everything but Pete's mom.
Not bashing on those who are upgrading their Harleys at all.
I can't seem to get past the large gap that becomes present between the rear fender and the rear tire when upgrading to the more performance oriented rear shocks. Seems to take a way from the appearance of the bike.
Obviously just my opinion.
