Drilled and slotted rotors transfer heat better away from the materials, elongating the life of the rotor and pad. I'm not sure what "class" you went to, but my general education and understanding of thermodynamics tells me the cross sections allowing for air flow would and will keep stress levels to a minimum, no matter if you're "road racing" or not. Especially better for trucks, and their weight, these rotors are great. (I have been running my drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads for several years now, with no stress cracks, no warping, and excellent performance the entire time)


Also, I love the infinity stereo system in my Dodge Ram.

PS Nice bike, do you know what base bike they built that off of? Looks too short to be a custom bike, and not too much rake. Looks like a mid-size cruiser with a 280(?) rear kit on it. Looks awesome, black is my favorite color.

PS PS PS, because I'm annoyed as misinformation on here:

* Edges of the slots or holes continuously clean and refresh the pad surface as well as provide increased brake "bite." Additionally, they prevent gasses from collecting between the pad and disc surface.

* The disc is lightened(drilled and slotted), thereby DECREASING rotational inertia.

* Improved ventilation increases the disc's ability to shed heat, resulting in cooler operating temperatures in all conditions.


If anybody thinks this information is false, you can go to a very popular and successful company, such as Brembo, and look at actual numbers. You can see temperatures decreases, improved performance, and longer life via drilled and slotted rotors.

The most powerful S&S they make is 125ish horsepower, and that's if it has a EFI single bore, with tuned injection. Most S&S's are around 100 horse, which is still wicked fast. I'm 6'4, and I feel cramped on my v-star, It's probably time to upgrade lol..

Bro the bike is sick as hell. If I could afford it I'd get something like that in a heartbeat. I'm jealous Enjoy it! btw: any motorcycle with over 100HP is god damn fast
