Rick ' s ' Clubstyle ' indicator bracket ST fairing kit with integrated turn signals are a great option , whether or not doing a full ' Clubstyle ' conversion . Underneath the unique fairing ( on the stock mounting points ) are the tiny ABE certified Kellermann Atto integral LED turn signals , built into specially designed Rick ' s housings to make them even less visible than usual - but always powerfully visible when flashing .
Not just great for ' Clubstyle ', but an asset to many customizing styles , these Rick ' s ' Wave ' brake discs - in 292 , 300 and 330 mm - are said to optimize braking performance while increasing durability . Rick ' s has many years of experience with manufacturing rotors and says that its floating brake disc designs are less prone to warping under maximum load and give better braking performance because the discs virtually " center " themselves between the brake pads under braking . The ' Wave ' shape is designed to improve cooling while reducing unsprung mass - which can be an important factor in the load on the brakes , especially with heavy Big Twins and with heavy loads in ' forced ' braking conditions such as twisties . " Our Wave discs are styled less aggressively than comparable competitor designs ," says Rick , " therefore they offer more friction surface . Evenly distributed holes instead of slotted holes also increase breaking surface and reduce noise ." The discs are floating on Rick ' s 10-spoke ' Steve '
inner stars with ten floaters each to distribute braking forces and heat dissipation to more points than on stock or comparable aftermarket parts . The inner star is specially coated with the outside flattened and highly braced float for no wobbling or rattle , yet still allow the brake discs the necessary expansion when heated by heavy braking . The stainless steel inner core construction ensures long-lasting and consistently reliable performance . Matching caliper adapters for radial piston calipers ( such as Brembo ) are available . Additional sizes for the current H-D model range are in development , as are new versions to fit Rick ' s design wheels .
