Normal brake caliper is hard to work so I want to strengthen, but I do not know which manufacturer to choose
The new Harley Davidson has power, high acceleration and sharp average speed.
The brake system including the normal fork spring does not exceed the engine power, so in many cases it is dangerous in Japan.
In Japan, there are many mountains and heavy congestion, so the effectiveness is too bad with the normal front brake.
- Even with sudden braking, there is room for braking force, so it is easy to control and stop safely
- Tuned engine power becomes safe to use
From the town ride to the winding road it will be safe and fun, so I will introduce the points of choosing brake caliper.
Performance required for brake caliper
There are two performance requirements for brake caliper.
- Shortening the braking distance
- Stop as imagined
Brake power and feeling are two important, furthermore the required performance is below.
- Operability / Linear feeling
- Lightweight
- Compact
- Reliability
- Durability
- Cost
Harley Davidson has a heavier motorcycle than 200kg more than other motorcycle makers, so it is difficult to exceed the above requirement unless it is designed exclusively for Harley.
Besides that, there are the mounting position of the brake caliper, the load movement at the time of braking, the maintenance, the versatility of the brake pads, and so on.
The brake caliper that is faithfully reflected in these request contents is the ideal brake caliper.
Even famous manufacturers can not demonstrate brake performance under conditions different from the requirements.
Assuming that it is used for heavy Harley Davidson, it is an important point whether it is a designed brake caliper.
A brake caliper specifically designed for Harley
Sundance Pit Bull 4Piston Brake Calipers
sundance pit bull is the best in all of the braking force, touch, feeling and design.
Like a brake caliper attached to Superbike, it demonstrates a strong braking power with a wonderful touch and feeling.
If you use this brake caliper, you will not select any other calipers.
The cast brembo sold at Several hundred US dollars is the performance below the normal caliper.
With the caliper support, the braking force will increase.
sundance pit bull 4piston brake calipers is a special designed brake caliper, if you also use the exclusive Brake Rotor · brake pads, it is the world’s best brake caliper with the normal front fork.
Caliper support
Brake caliper maker does not manufacture Brake caliper support.
Brake caliper support lowers the rigidity.
To the heavy Harley Davidson, the number of pins of Brake Rotor is important
Normal brake rotor may use less than 10 pins, which is not enough.
Misumi Engineering’s Brake Rotor sells 12 pin Brake Rotor which is more than the normal Brake Rotor.
Front suspension needs to be replaced to strengthen brake system
Even with a powerful brake caliper, if the front suspension is weak it will be ineffective.
Replace Fork Spring with racetek · hyperpro · sundance trak tek etc. to increase brake performance.

Summary
To enjoy the agile acceleration of sportster to the powerful torque of big twin, it is necessary to change brake caliper · brake rotor · fork spring.
Harley Davidson ‘s braking system is bad from long ago
The reason is related to Harley Davidson’s design philosophy on the braking system.
Even Brembo’s brake caliper can not make excellent brake calipers unless Harley Davidson meets Japan’s requirements
Harley Davidson is making different engine, suspension and brake system from other motorcycle makers.
Harley-Davidson’s brake caliper is not a general purpose product, a special design is required
Today, thank you for reading until the end.
