Harley-Davidson Brake Upgrades: Are They Worth It?
Whether you’re a group of friends taking a trip to the Tail of the Dragon on your Harleys or ripping the canyons in a race car, stopping power is absolutely critical especially when things come out of nowhere. And while aesthetics are cool, functionality and survivability actually reign king.
In a nutshell: If you’re planning serious road trips it’s definitely worth customizing your motorcycle based on your specific needs: Improving the brakes because you’re riding through hills and sketchy situations or simply making the best out of your riding experience with new suspension, a comfortable seat, etc.
Going back to the braking side of the equation and common questions we’re asked, one in particular stands out… How can I improve the brakes on my Harley? And that’s typically followed by their particular motorcycle (Dyna, Softail, Sportster or other popular Harley models).
Fortunately, if you’re reading this now you’ve turned to the best people that can help you on that journey with the 2LaneLife team riding nearly 100k miles on Harleys in the past year while testing every motorcycle and aftermarket product under the sun, including running into tricky situations when it comes to braking. It’s trippy how even a rogue rabbit can totally ruin your day if you couldn’t stop in time.
We are launching new products and partnerships in this space and will be sharing more soon. Stay tuned!
