    It's a good look, how does it compare to stock braking wise?

    What are you thinking gm!! It’s never been about improved performance.

    probably no different, the rotor contact width is the same and the caliper hasn't changed. there might be a slight improvement in rotor cooling but i doubt it. it just looks cool.

    There would have to be better braking as the wider leverage and more friction per revolution 
    But I have been wrong before

    Why did they replace rim caliper brakes on bicycles then? So there!

    Braking effort = Frictional load x rotor diameter 
    Provided the pads don't overheat the braking force increases as the rotor diameter...or...for the same braking force the lever effort decreases as the inverse of the increased rotor diameter. Anyone who's ridden a rim-brake Buell knows how they work. :-)

    For me there was a large difference, much better than stock. Lot more confidence when in the twisties that’s for sure. Would I do it again? Definitely.

    I put the non wave kit on my wide glide a couple of years ago, I felt a noticeable improvement. I put a set of sintered pads in at the same time but removed them and put organic back in, the sintered pads are to harsh on the disc, I thought braking was no different between the pad varieties. I posted pics and a review titled Ness Big Brake Kit if you want a gander at it. I think they are a good look and work well.

    Yes surface area is the same but the increased diameter creates more leverage and therefore increased force; hence better braking power. You can actually feel the difference.

    These are great on stock fork legs, i had the inverted harley forks and didnt want to fit even with the bracket Plus using the 6 pot PM breaks didnt like it was hitting the Wave part.
    Slight Mod and was able to fit it to a breakout looks dope! ( on stock breaks)
