Floating Brake Rotor - Harley Davidson Night Train

10. Brian installed a new floating brake rotor to the wheel, then placed the wheel back on the bike. With the wheel in place, he installed the caliper making sure that the wheel was still in the center of the frame and that the caliper was straight and not binding up on the rotor.

11. Next, Brian started on the new Street Slammer drag bar with 7-inch integrated risers. This chrome-plated 1-1/4-inch fat bar is factory drilled to accept hidden control wires for a clean custom look. This part took the most time; Brian was real careful when pulling the wires though the bars so as not to cut or pinch them.

12. Here you can see that there are two holes for wires to run-one for the controls, and one for the turn signals. Each one needed to get routed, and then extended about 6-inches. Note: Do not forget the rubber grommets.

13. With all the wire run through the bars, Brian installed the controls, new contoured grips, black levers, and black mirrors. The blinkers will be relocated from the fork tubes to the bottom of the hand controls, and replace the amber lens covers with new smoked covers.

14. Next Brian assembled the new billet headlight kit; the chrome surfaces and the close-fitting inner trim ring create the appearance of a one-piece design. The kit includes chrome-plated mounting hardware and a custom billet mount. He needed to pull apart the stock bulb and wiring for this housing.

16. Next, Brian bled all the air bubbles from the brake lines.
17. We also swapped out the stock speedometer for a new speedo/tach gauge. This is a one-piece direct replacement for the '07 and later that needs to be calibrated for the proper mileage of the bike. This has to be done at the dealership.

18. We also wanted to lower the rear of the bike with a set of shocks, so Brian removed the stock shocks from the bike by unbolting them from the frame and the swingarm and pulling them out from under the bike.

21. With everything back together, Brian took the bike out for a test ride and checked the handling and braking. After taking the bike out for a ride, the frontend handled well, but the bars are a bit low. We felt that the frontend looked more custom, but would have liked to see the headlight and handlebars blacked out as well. We will call Harley-Davidson to see if they don't mind if we send them out to get powdercoated black. Call your local dealership for prices and installation costs.
