Special countersunk socket head bolts to mount the brake drum to the wheel hub.

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.
