I don't recall seeing any pictures on the forum of a Hyper with spoked wheels. Like to see it if anyone's done it. I'm guessing not, so I don't know why anyone would move toward this option.

That may work for the rear wheel, but theres no way that would stop like the stock front brakes.

That option wouldn't even work on a sport bike that thing would over heat after a couple minutes . Its good looking though.

Another solution in search of a problem statement...

Perhaps a scaled down version on the rear of a dirt bike, caliper on top would offer good rotor protection in rocks. Probably a mud trap though unless the hub releived was more to let it sling out. Weight might be a wash as the hub is bigger but you lose the rotor guard. Just a thought.

As if the HM needs better brakes. Seems to be an exercise in unnecessary engineering, at least as far as the HM is concerned. For full race supermoto bikes at the highest level of competition I can understand the benefits of crash protection, less rotating mass and less twisting of the forks under braking compared to conventional 320mm single rotor setups.

In chrome it would work wonders on a Harley, with weight bias towards the rear a smaller front brake (read minimalist) still works ok, and who cares if they crash?

My question is, who's gonna be da first to go single rotor on da front?

My KTM 640 Adventure came with dual 300mm front disks and it has plenty of pavement stopping power with its two two-piston calipers; however, I also have a single 320mm disk set-up and it way under-braked for the street even though the single-disk Adventure weighs 21 pounds less than the HM-S.

If one were to convert to a single disk on the HM, it would almost certainly require a full-floating 320mm disk, minimum 4-piston caliper (presumably the monoblocks would work with the right spacers), braided lines and either a 15 or 16mm master cylinder with a 18mm lever offset.

If my weight savings on the Adventure are any guide, this would probably knock off 4 pounds of unsprung weight, of which 1 pound is also rotating mass, resulting in significantly more responsive directional changes.

Ghezzi, you need to buy a HM and try it.
