Thank you, great job, as usual Mo! that is one sick rotor, what is than 1/4 inch thick..love it!! I have 2005 fatboy, my brakes suck. the brake bracket is one piece with the axel!
Definitely entails a little bit more work. I’m glad they switched over in the later years. I’m not sure exactly how thick that rotor is, but it’s definitely heavy duty! Thanks for watching
Man , I'm switching bars on my Dyna, legend has it you can get slack on the main harness through the fender Access hole, is that just a legend? I can't seem to get my connectors to see daylight haha
There’s usually quite a bit of wire stuffed inside the frame that can be pulled up. You can’t get your wires through the bars? Or can’t get them out of the frame?
@@knothole5 just did this. There is indeed a service loop tucked in the backbone of the frame just behind the access plate in the rear fender. I removed the rear wheel and fender for much easier access. Tie something to the loop in case you need to pull it back through. The connectors are staggered about where the seat and tank meet. Also there is an access plate on the right side near the steering neck, wires will be zip tied to it. Removing the rear tank bolt gives more room for the connectors passing through.
I spray painted my Dyna wheels yesterday and she. Attempting to get the caliper back on I couldn’t get the rear pad to lock in and keeps sliding out. Imma have to try again today
10:07 is that normal for the caliper to have that type of play? Up and down motion? I just did my brake pads I’m getting the same issue everything is torque to spec thanks
Yeah a little play is okay because it’s a “floating caliper” but if it seems wildly excessive then your holes may be wallowed out and need to be replaced
Probably a good idea, I definitely didn’t this time lol. But with the new pads in there, the level would have been a little bit higher than it was when they were worn
Between this video and the manual you should be right, do you want to be spoon fed as well? I found it very helpful, thanks for taking time to create and post this video @Gilstrap Garage
Thanks for this. I just bought a 2003 wide glide and the pads are paper thin. great video,to the point and good camera work.
Thank You for Your Insight and Instructions Brother
Perfect! Thanks for keeping it simple Brother..
Greaat video and thank you so much! Socket and wrench size was a big help. I'll be back brother

Doing mine this week on my softail. Thanks, great video!
🙌🏻🙌🏻 softails can be a little more involved depending on the year. The rear wheel may have to come off in order to pull the whole bracket off
@@GilstrapGarage good to know. Thanks
thank you brother this was super helpful going to do mine now!
Extremely helpful...thanks for sharing!

@@GilstrapGarage can't get them out of the frame, I think there's a fold in there, I'm trying to get the connectors out haha

Thank you everyone, I think I'll unbolt a shock before removing the rear wheel,
Just got into bikes , Ty for the vid helped a lot . 🤘🏼
No problem 👍

The reason you are getting groves a ND squeaks is your aftermarket rotor taller than stock just a little
what about anti-seize or lithium grease on the back of the pad, that shuts everything up
Great video. Very helpful.
great video, thanks
Great video thanks bro
Glad you enjoyed it!
Top man thanks very helpful
I finished my pad change but my caliper has a little wobble. Is it supposed to wobble?
Is it up and down play? It is supposed to do that a little bit on the “floating” calipers

@@GilstrapGarage thanks brotha keep up the great content 🤘🏻
thank yuo bro
What brand rotors do you have?
How many millimeters is the 12-point quarter point inch socket?
1/4
whats the median cost to have harley davidson do this job?
Do you have to check the brake fluid before and after?
Probably a good idea, I definitely didn’t this time lol. But with the new pads in there, the level would have been a little bit higher than it was when they were worn
Are those brake rotors any good ? Are they galfer
Yupp, galfer rotors, they were amazing
Do you know how i can get me one !? Mine is a 2006 dyna lowrider cant find them
100% 👍
How many miles are on your bike
i had about 36,000 on it when i sold it
Do you live in Omaha
Not a very descriptive video. Not much help on how to do it right.
Maybe not. But the correct service manual for your bike will walk through it all step by step 🤙🏻
Between this video and the manual you should be right, do you want to be spoon fed as well?

My question is do I have to bleed the brakes? Or can I just pop out the old and put in the new? And good to go?
@@iancianciolo6838 as long as you don’t crack the bleeders you don’t have to bleed them
If you can’t do it after watching this video you shouldn’t be wrenching on your own bike lmfao. Take it to the stealership and pay $400 🤡
