    Cool Road king Front brakes

    Whats up everyone.... got a quick question, I want to install a 21'' fat daddy rim.
    on a 2008 road king. the RK has two calipers and two rotors on either side of the rim.
    I have seen other bikes with the same rim, but one caliper and one rotor has been removed for a clean and cool look. Is this safe? Has anyone done this? i dont wantto sacrafice safty over looks. But if its safe i would like to do it.

    Dual front brakes are there because of the weight of the bike. You can put a single brake on the front, just allow for more stopping distance.

    The non antiloc dual disk seems easy to lock up. I wouldn't be surprised if one disk is safer.
    That is just my opinion.
    I have dual disk antiloc on my Roadking now and am very happy with it.


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
