Condor Posted August 4, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2014 Torque wrench and hex sockets for the rotor screws. Replace the OEM .calipers with R1 or R6's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BratmanXj Posted August 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 7, 2014 Replace the OEM .calipers with R1 or R6's. Or early ('02-'05) Road Star Warrior or Late Model ('08-up) Road Star have the same 4-pot calipers. You'll also need the matching Master and these come in chrome. On the same note, does anyone know if the late model floating rotors are a direct swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kettlinton Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks for the brake upgrade suggestions. I'm just going to keep it stock, fix a few key things and sell the bike. Spending way to much time fixing things than riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
