Classic Profile: The distinct curved shape is engineered to fit perfectly over the stock rear rotor and mounting bracket, maintaining the authentic silhouette of your FLH, Super Glide, or Low Rider.

Heavy-Duty Construction: Cast from durable materials to match the weight and feel of the original factory units, ensuring it can handle the heat and pressure of modern riding conditions.
Restoration-Ready Finish
