IronheadChina Hamburger Drum Brakes
IronheadChina Hamburger Drum Brakes
This is a high-quality reproduction of the Harley „Hamburger“ drum brake as originally mounted to XL 1964-1972 and early Super Glides. Nowadays original brakes are usually very difficult to find in good condition at an affordable price. These drum brakes made from die-cast aluminum are CNC precision-machined and in no way inferior to the originals in terms of quality and function.

Barnett Front Drum Brake Cables
Barnett Front Drum Brake Cables
The outer spiral of these Bowden cables is much shorter than the inner cable. The reason is that on the listed models the cable is routed through a steel tube up to close to the lower fork tee. And by the way: he who eliminates this tube will suffer on brake force.

Cable Tubes
Cable Tubes
The Bowden cables used on all front drum brakes of Harley-Davidson motorcycles had one drawback: their length of just over one and a half meters. Due to their flexibility, the cable housings do not always provide the necessary resistance to the inner cable. As a result, pulling force is often lost on the way from the lever to the brake drum: the longer the cable, the higher the loss. On telescopic forks (K and Sportster from 1952, Hydra Glide from 1948), the lower section of the cable housing along the fork slider was replaced by a rigid tube. This tube minimizes losses caused by the flexible cable housing. Even though riders often omit this tube and simply route the housing all the way to the brake drum, keeping it is not just a matter of originality.

Front drum brakes K-model, Sportster and FX models.

The K model appeared at Harley-Davidson in 1952 and was Harley-Davidson's first large motorcycle with a hydraulic front fork. The 1952-1963 half-hub drum was the technical standard at the time. The English competition, at which the K model was aimed, also had them. By 1964 technology and customer demands had advanced, and the Sportster got a full-hub drum. The FX also took over the front wheel and brake of the Sportster with its telescopic fork.
