Hot Rotors After New Pads
I think it’s as normal as it will get. Riding with a friend who has a 2 wheel FlH 30ish miles His rotors stone cold. Mine 120/130. Design on the 6 piston caliper is a factor I guess.- ctdair

Hot Rotors After New Pads
Out for a ride Today. MPG is as normal as it’s ever been. Right rotor hotter than Left. Temps on left 107 temps on right still 120/130. So I’m saying I guess I still have some drag. It does seem to rule out master cylinder and upper hose. Could still be the right half of lower hose. I’m going to...- ctdair

Help with Temperature
I’m starting to believe the 6 piston calipers were not the best design. How much have they been dragging up till now and I have never really checked. Don’t remember checking when I changed front tire 20k miles ago. I did just change the front tire again and brakes at the same time. 2wheel 4...- ctdair

Avon Trike Cobra Chrome - Negative Experience
I had good luck with my Avon Cobra. It was time for a new tire and based on the hit and miss issues people have posted about I went to the Darkside. That’s a rear tire mounted in reverse rotation on the front. It’s doing great.- ctdair

Help with Temperature
I’m starting new post about front brakes. I never paid attention to the brakes until I changed them and was checking my work. I believe they are now working as well as the first 35,000 miles until change. The 6 piston calipers still drag so much more than 4 piston 2 wheel calipers I’ve compared...- ctdair
