    Doing this mod right now in my garage. Pretty easy. Awesome, very helpful video Chainsaw. Thx 4 mentioning the torque values - TIME SAVER. Axle nut is 3/4 on my 06 FXDB. If u don't have 12 point sockets u can use standard wrenches too for a lot of jobs. This is also a great time to change brake pads. Can't wait to test ride 🤘

    Thanks for making the video. It looks really cool. I am planning to add this to my bike. The only suggestion would be to mention keeping the rotor clean and doing a quick wash of the rotor surface with denatured alcohol and replacing the pads at the same time. From decades of upgrading and servicing mountain bike brakes (same but smaller) the initial engagement of Pad and Rotor is critical for mating them to ensure longevity and performance. Adding new pads with the rotor would be my plan of action then spending some time doing controlled stops to bed them....again..coming from decades of downhill MTB experience....get them ready to stope before you need them. :-)

    This gent is competent. Just shows how it should be done without bull or bluster. I have been working on cars, bikes (racing and road) and trucks since 1960 so I enjoy this sort of informative video clip.

    Great video... my service manual says to replace screws that hold the disc to the hub if you remove them.

    Did everything as shown but when I installed the caliper very top of Rotor is hitting inside of Caliper.
    What did I do Wrong 🤷‍♂️
    Any Suggestions 🤷‍♂️

    I see hub mount and spoke mount parts listed in the catalogs. The spoke mounts don't show the black center piece. I have a 2007 fxdl with spokes. Which kit did you order? Thanks and great video!

  • @richardadams6821

    Don't you have to change your caliper as well?

    • @RedEmpire36

      no the bracket allows you to reuse stock caliper

  • @buckeyebanshee

    I’m assuming the left and right indication when ordering this kit is for which side of the wheel your rotor is on? Is it left from sitting on it or left from looking at it?

    I know I’m a little late in the comment section but you should never reuse your rotor bolts! if they’ve been torqued there stretched.

    • @GraniteCityRiders
      @GraniteCityRiders  6 років тому +2

      They definitely give you better control. They just feel better. I bet a dual setup with these would be awesome. let me know how it turns out.

      Hi Uziel. I will definitely do a profile video on my Dyna. Give me a couple of weeks, I have some other videos in the cue. My seat is a LePera Bare Bones with Diamond Stitching. My signals are after market LED bullet replacements in the front, and Arlen Ness Direct mount in the rear. Thanks for the comment.

    i am from sydney australia...i have 2004 fxdl..single disc LH side
    i purchased this kit from usa online
    arrived ..i aready had new rim with bearings & new tyre ready
    kit arrived..assembled disc to new wheel
    removed old wheel & removed caliper
    i assembled new brake pads
    assembled new offset bracket to fork tube
    tried to load caliper over 15" disc......NOT ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN OUTER EDGE OF DISC & RIM TO FIT CALIPER AS SHOWN IN THIS VIDEO
    i had to remove the inner disc pad from caliper to give enough room then refit inner dis pad to caliper
    why....is the caliper thicker on early model dynas..???
    i had same type of rim 19" ...not smooth rim but rim with stepped centre section at spokes only difference was my rim is chrome not black
    then i realised the other difference....i fitted a 110/90 tyre not std 100/90 tyre
    it looks much better as is beefier especially with bigger brake rotor & still fits between fender brackets
    so all good good product

    This is hub mounted correct? what was the actual part number that you ordered? all i can find do not have the black PC on the spokes...

    • @GraniteCityRiders
      @GraniteCityRiders  7 років тому

      Hey Stres... sorry I am out of town and won't be able to get back to you for a few days with the part number... I would just call Arlen Ness directly... they are pretty good about getting back to people and can probably help you sooner. Let me know how the install goes... and if you like the product.

    Hello, I notice you have a fork brace on the bike. Who makes that fork brace and are you happy with it.

    • @GraniteCityRiders
      @GraniteCityRiders  6 років тому

      That is the Harley screamin' Eagle fork brace. I do like it... it stiffens up the front end quite a bit.

    • @dw561
      @dw561 6 років тому

      Thanks, I was considering the HD fork brace or the SuperBrace, any suggestions if one is better than the other

    • @GraniteCityRiders
      @GraniteCityRiders  6 років тому

      Honestly... whatever you think looks better will work. It adds rigidity to the front end no matter which one you mount.

    Does harley offer a duel disc on their single disc fronts?

    • @GraniteCityRiders
      @GraniteCityRiders  7 років тому +1

      A conversion can be done, as some models both with 39mm and 49mm come with dual disc. You have to swap out the right side lower slider and add a bigger master cylinder. All of these parts are available through Harley.
