Harley Brake Conversion Kits — Upgrade Your Stopping Power & Brake Performance

Welcome to our Harley Brake Conversion Kits collection — your go-to source for high-quality brake upgrade kits designed to bring better braking performance, stronger stopping power, and improved safety to your Harley-Davidson. Whether you ride a Touring, M8 Softail, Dyna, Sportster, or a custom build, a proper brake conversion kit can drastically enhance how your bike stops and handles braking under load or high speeds.

Why Upgrade Your Harley’s Brakes

  • Improved Stopping Power & Control. Upgraded brakes — including larger rotors, radial calipers, and quality conversion kits — give you stronger leverage and better friction, meaning shorter stopping distances, firmer “bite,” and more consistent braking under hard use.

  • Better Brake Feel & Modulation. Stock brakes on many Harleys are adequate for casual riding, but performance-oriented kits often deliver enhanced lever feel, more predictable braking response and better modulation — especially helpful when carrying a passenger or extra load.

  • Reduced Brake Fade & Improved Heat Dissipation. Upgraded rotors/calipers — particularly floating or oversized rotors — dissipate heat more effectively, which helps prevent brake fade during extended braking (e.g. long descents, spirited rides).

  • Upgrade Suitability for Modified or High-Performance Builds. If you’ve increased engine power or added heavy custom parts, stock brakes might struggle. A complete conversion kit helps ensure braking performance matches the increased power or weight.

What to Look for When Choosing a Brake Conversion Kit

When selecting a brake conversion kit for your Harley, consider these critical factors:

  1. Compatibility with Your Model & Year: Harley models (Touring, Softail, Dyna, etc.) use different axle, fork, or swingarm setups. Make sure the conversion kit is specified for your bike’s model and year to ensure proper fitment.

  2. Rotor Size & Rotor Type: Many conversion kits offer floating or oversized rotors. Floating rotors help with heat expansion and better braking under stress; larger rotors increase leverage and stopping torque.

  3. Caliper Type & Mounting Style: Kits may include upgraded calipers (e.g. radial-mounted, multi-piston calipers) that improve pad contact, reduce flex, and provide more consistent braking performance than stock calipers.

  4. Brake Lines & Master Cylinder Upgrades (if needed): To support higher braking performance and pressure, some conversions may also benefit from braided brake lines and high-quality master cylinders to improve lever feel and fluid response.

  5. Brake Pads & Hardware Suitability: High-performance pads (semi-sintered or sintered) and quality mounting hardware enhance braking performance and consistency under a variety of conditions — from daily commuting to spirited riding or heavy loads.

What You’ll Find in Our Brake Conversion Kits Collection

Our store offers a wide selection of brake conversion options built to upgrade Harley braking systems, including:

  • Front and Rear Brake Conversion Kits: Swap stock disc + caliper assemblies for upgraded rotor/caliper combos — suitable for Softails, Dynas, Touring bikes, and more.

  • Oversized / Floating Rotors & Caliper Mount Kits: Kits designed to bolt on with stock or upgraded calipers to give stronger stopping power and better heat management.

  • Radial-Mount Caliper Kits & High-Performance Calipers: For riders who want maximum braking force, improved lever feel, and enhanced braking modulation.

  • Brake Line & Master Cylinder Upgrade Kits: For those also upgrading brake hydraulics — ensuring the braking system responds well under higher pressures.

  • Brake Pad & Hardware Kits: Performance brake pads, mounting hardware, and full-system kits to make sure every part of the brake system is optimized for performance and durability.

Each kit is chosen to offer reliable stopping power, better feel, and long-term performance — whether you ride stock, loaded with luggage, or modified for performance. Stock brakes work, but they’re often built for minimal average use. If you ride heavily, carry weight, or have upgraded power — a conversion kit gives you stronger, more reliable braking and better safety margins.
