    Forged Empi disc brake brackets

    aBought the Empi 22 2857 forged brackets for my brakes. Went to put them on and they won't fit. The back side of the bracket hits the arm that holds the axle. Not sure the exact name of it. I have looked and studied the situation and I don't see any way it will work without grinding a good...

    Empi brake rotors

    Working on my Empi disc brake kit. I installed new brake lines. The one on the right was bad. Changed both. A bitch. Worked on the left side first. I didn't remember the rotor hard to get on but I like to have never got it off. I knocked it off with my dead blow hammer. I think I put...

    Disc brakes making noise

    I put the Empi disc brake kit on my Roadhawk a few weeks ago. Mounted the calipers on top of the axle. The brakes make a noise when I slowly push the brake pedal. If I get on them a little hard it doesn't happen. Every now and then they squeak a little. Other than the noise they work fine...

    Going to install the Empi disc brake kit this weekend. I am not sure what size mastercylindet i have now. I understand 3/4 is the usual size. Should I go to the 11/16 bore cylinder while I am at it. Will that give me a little more braking also? I understand it will with drum brakes. Just...

    I went ahead and bought the Empi Disc Brake Converson Kit. Got the box opened and was looking at all the parts. I went with the stamped caliper bracket. The first thing I noticed is is that the brake lines won't work. I thought the caliper mounted on top of the axle instead of behind the...
