I enjoy just for the fact that there's less chief's walking around trying to earn their pay. I can just go to work and not be bothered.

Plus I don't have to listen to that damn alarm clock.

The lightning rotors are roughly 1/4" thicker, maybe a little more. But honestly idk if the S/C'd Harleys have the upgraded brakes or not.....
Nope they don't....that's why i asked

After more investigating I found the clutch wasn't engaging on the Aspire. I tried adjusting the clutch cable and I snapped the adjusting rod. I cut the cable and it engaged so I ordered a new cable and have to go pick it up today. Hopefully it fixes it for a for a few months at least.

I have no idea what the setup is like, but if it was working previously, how would a cable suddenly get shorter?

Well, that's true enough, sort of like a Cajun.

When the wheel bearing locked the tire up I had to slip the clutch pretty bad for about 10 mins to get out of the middle of the parking lot. I'm guessing I wore the clutch down some, I'm not sure. Either way the new cable's on and it runs like a champ again. Hopefully longer than 4 days

Yes.....but it gets complicated

You're better off splitting the systems to be powered with two alts and two batts OR going with a high capacity altenator like one off of an ambulance/ER type vehicle or buy a new high capacity one......

The other way is to use isolators and another voltage regulator...
