Signs You Need
Motorcycle Brake Service
⚠️ Squeaking or Grinding Noises – Worn-out brake pads can damage your rotors if not replaced.
⚠️ Spongy or Soft Brake Lever – This may indicate air in the brake lines or failing brake fluid.
⚠️ Vibrations or Pulsations While Braking – Warped rotors can cause this, reducing braking efficiency.
⚠️ Longer Stopping Distances – If your bike isn’t stopping as quickly as it used to, your brake pads, rotors, or fluid may need service.
⚠️ Leaking Brake Fluid – Any fluid leaks should be inspected immediately, as they can lead to brake failure.
Harley-Davidson
Brake Experts
Harley-Davidson riders demand powerful, responsive braking systems to handle their bikes' weight and performance needs. At Stinky’s Kustoms, we specialize in Harley brake upgrades, from performance pads to full braking system overhauls.
We work with leading brands like Brembo, EBC, Lyndall, and Galfer, ensuring your Harley’s braking system meets the highest performance standards.
Rotors:
Performance Rotors:
Lyndall Enforcer Rotors: Known for their quality and performance, available in floating or one-piece designs.
Galfer Rotors: Offer a variety of styles, including floating and wave rotors, with options for different Harley models.
Brembo Rotors: Brembo is a well-respected brand in the braking world, and they offer high-performance rotors for Harley-Davidson models.
Considerations:
Floating vs. Solid Rotors: Floating rotors allow the rotor to move slightly, which can help dissipate heat and reduce warping.
Material: Look for rotors made from high-quality materials like stainless steel or carbon-ceramic composites for better durability and performance.
Design: Some rotors are designed to show off the wheels, while others are more performance-focused.
Finish: Consider black or other finishes for a custom look, but be aware that some finishes may not be as durable.
Brake Pads:
Lyndall Z+ Soft Brake Pads: These pads are known for their performance and are a popular choice for Harley riders.
Other Options:
Ceramic Pads: Durable and quiet, but can be more expensive.
Metallic Pads: Offer high stopping power but can be noisy.
Semi-metallic Pads: Provide a balance between durability and noise.
Additional Tips:
Replace Rotors and Pads Together:
For optimal braking performance, it's recommended to replace both rotors and pads at the same time.
Consider Upgrading Calipers: If you're looking for a significant braking upgrade, consider upgrading to Brembo or other high-performance calipers.
Safety First: When choosing brake components, prioritize safety and choose high-quality parts that will provide reliable stopping power.
Consult with Experts: If you're unsure about which brake components are right for your Harley-Davidson, consult with a qualified mechanic or a motorcycle parts specialist.
