hey guys, i was just wondering what options i have for a brake upgrade for my vl. i recently snapped four wheel studs on my front wheel, and now i'm up for rego as well. i've got bugger all money, so i need the cheapest option, but i still want an upgrade. it's all stock non turbo. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Just replace the studs... worry about your 'brake upgrade' a little later...

Agreed. Do a search for brake upgrades, theres a huge thread on here somewhere.

$50 for VLT calipers you can get rotors cheap new brake lines new fluid That would be a decent upgrade. Can get chasers on this forum for like $200 with decent tread.
