Wilwoods installed...

Had a free afternoon today so I had my buddy at a local garage do the install of my new Wilwood BBK on my Harley for me today...

You go from this...



To this...



To finally...



The difference in pedal feel and stoping power with the SS lines and the 6POT Caliper/16" Rotors is a night and day difference over the OEM set up.
It took about 4 hours for the install with bleeding.

How do those calipers affect (if at all) the ABS sensors?

Is that kit specific to the 04-08 F150?

Thanks!

They do not affect the ABS one bit. Wilwood supplys new front hubs for the truck with the kit.
Yes the kit is specific to the 04-08 2wd only F150. Wilwood does not make a 4x4 kit.

Night and day difference between these and stocks. Very happy with the set up so far.

A couple of shots with the wheel on...

Nice! I wouldn't mind having a set! Why don't they make a 4x4 set?

Not sure why they don't make a 4x4 kit, I guess its just because most "sport" trucks are 2wd.
I know Baer and AP Racing both make BB kits for 04-08 4x4 F150's though.
