GBrakes – 11.5 " V-Twin Floating Rotors
Carson City, Nevada based GBrakes " builds motorcycle braking systems that hold pressure, dissipate heat, and deliver clean, repeatable stops, no matter how hard you ride or how hard you stop." That is the bold statement made by CEO Sandro Milesi about the new brakes components business he started last year, and he and his family have the decades of multi-generational experience, knowledge and industry contacts to be able to back it up. The range is centered on sintered and ceramic pads, high-carbon and stainless rotors and braided stainless brake lines built to outlast the bike they ' re mounted on. The company ' s rotors are engineered in USA and manufactured in the EU in ISO certified facilities. Seen here, GBrakes ' 11.5 " floating rotors with choice of anodized carriers " deliver serious stopping
power," says Sandro. " While the design is eyecatching, it ' s the advanced technology and noticeable boost in braking performance that truly impress. GBrakes improve stopping power, reduce brake fade, and offer a more responsive, confident ride, on the street or the track." GBrakes rotors are manufactured from heat-treated, high-carbon virgin 420 stainless steel. Each rotor is precision laser-cut( never stamped) and a parallel double-disc grinding process to achieve exceptional flatness and a tight-tolerance surface finish. The rotors are then Cryo-Tech treated down to-300 ° to further enhance material stability, durability, and performance. " Building our brakes with premium materials and customization options to match their performance needs and personal style, riders notice a firmer lever feel, less vibration, and longer pad life." Each GBrakes rotor features a unique waveshaped edge that enhances airflow and heat dissipation, delivering cooler, more consistent braking under extreme conditions. Unlike conventional round rotors, the Wave profile reduces unsprung weight, sheds debris efficiently, and maintains a cleaner pad surface for maximum bite. " Performance brakes aren ' t just for racers, they ' re for anyone who values safety, control, and reliability. Every system we offer is built to work together, pad compounds matched to the right rotor material and finish, lines pressure-rated to hold feel even when the fluid ' s boiling, and hardware that actually fits your platform without compromise. " Whether you ride a loaded V-twin, a daily street build, or a sportbike, GBrakes systems are built for riders who don ' t back off. If your braking feels vague, weak, or warped, don ' t ride around it. The fix is here. The right parts. The right fit. All in one place."

Upgrade to the Heavy-Duty Throwout Bearing Kit
ert Baker, of Haslett MI. based Baker Drivetrain says: " If you ' ve ever dealt with clutch drag, chatter, or premature throwout bearing failure, you know how frustrating- and expensive- those issues can be. That ' s exactly why our Heavy-Duty Throwout Bearing Kit is more than just another part- it ' s an essential
Heavy-Duty Throwout Bearing Kit
upgrade for anyone serious about reliability and performance." The stock throwout bearing in many Big Twin motorcycles is a known weak point, " especially once you ' ve added performance upgrades or spend time
on the road. Our heavy-duty solution drastically improves on the original design with a 97 % larger thrust surface and 77 % greater static load capacity, which means far less wear and way more durability." Engineered to handle " hard use and aggressive riding ", this bearing kit replaces the failure-prone stock parts and is a " simple, affordable insurance policy for the clutch and transmission." Fitment covers a wide range of 1987-up H-D models with cable-actuated clutches. Also seen here, Baker ' s new Race Grade Primary Chain Adjuster Shoes " are a smart choice " for most Big Twin builds delivering " reliability where it counts." Precision-machined from virgin billet Nylon 6-6, " these adjuster shoes have been engineered to deliver greater strength, reduced wear, and a significantly longer service life compared to the original cast components." Designed as direct replacements for H-D part numbers 39976-65B( 1965-2000 Big Twin models) and 39976-01( 2001-2006 Big Twin models, excluding the 2006 Dyna), " these adjuster shoes offer a high-quality solution now that OEM production has ended. Our U. S.-made alternative fills the gap and outperforms both stock cast parts and imported cast copies." They have been manufactured using modern CNC technology and " proven through real-world use, each adjuster shoe delivers consistent performance
you can trust- on the street, at the track, and everywhere in between." Stronger and more durable than stock components, the reduced rate of wear means increased service life and reduced wear, making them " ideal for demanding performance and high mileage applications."
