Custom brake drums which feature distinctive circumferential cooling fins. This is not just for the look, because, as we all know, a cooler drum provides better braking performance.
Possible assembly fault and brake drum failure.
Some brake drum/wheel hub combinations require one or more spacer shims (front W&W 27-748, rear 27-746) to prevent them from touching the hub’s spoke rim. The brake drum must not touch the hub’s spoke flange. This might result in the drum breaking when tightening lug bolts.

Bates Brake Drum Shims
There are situations, where it is necessary to increase space between star hub and brake drum, so the latter clears the spoke flange. These shims can be used to achieve this.

Lug Bolts for Brake Drums
Special countersunk socket head bolts to mount the brake drum to the wheel hub.

CRS Ceriani 180 Four Leading Shoe Brake
As we all know, the stopping power of stock Harley front drum brakes is not exactly what you really need in an emergency situation. A completely different animal, however, is the CRS reproduction of the Ceriani 180 four leading shoe drum brake. It was made for the race track and it doesn’t make a secret of it. Four cams and four leading brake shoes will dependably stop your Milwaukee steed. Two large air scoops will help with cooling everything. These mechanical masterpieces are made in small numbers using traditional workmanship, which gives them the classic appearance and power of the originals. Installation should be left to the professional mechanic as it requires fabrication of brake anchors and cable operation.

Improvements were difficult to achieve without major (visible) changes. This stock looking Dual leading shoe version of the factory Springer brake improves stopping power if installed correctly. Ride your classic mount with the confidence of having a brake that does what it is supposed to do, when it counts.
