All, what's the thoughts on switching up to a single front rotor on the VN2000? I've been wanting to upgrade to a 18" front wheel, and have been on the lookout for used, newer Harley wheels. I bought a set today, but screwed up and bought ones for a Dyna, which are single front rotor. In an effort to try and salvage the deal, just wondering if I upgraded the caliper if I can get sufficient force? I haven't researched calipers yet (but I will)

Derek Lockett, who use to be active on here, but I don't think he is anymore.


He use to live not far from me, great guy. Fellow v2k'er.

(Biggest freaking guy i've ever met in real life....)


He ran with aftermarket wheels, single front rotor.

This is his bike...

A single rotor would look cool from one side, but from a performance standpoint, that was one of the selling points when I decided to buy a big bike. I've ridden a big harley with a single front disc and that's when two discs became mandatory on anything I was getting with my money.
