does anyone have any idea on what are the best aftermarket discs and brake pads for a vl?

Probably better of doing a conversion mate.

i can't be bothered playing around too much - and not too much cost. Convert to what?

VS V8 Cals, new rotors and bigger master / booster

and it all just bolts on!?

Sure does, i just did it on the weekend, i will have a write up and pics shortly along with a price breakdown.

and all the VT stuff bolts on just the same?

VT i couldn't be bothered with at the moment - It gives crap pedal feel and i didn't want to spend that much at this stage, Here's what the finished product looks like. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

So what have ya actually done there mate? Just the slotted rotors?

VS V8 Calipers, New Pads, New Rotors etc

We do the full twin diaphragm booster mod and spacer with new VT master cylinder with 40% more out of the booster in stock $650.00

How do you get the extra 40% Matt?

The booster is ???????????????? trade secret.Its not something you can do at home thats all it needs to be machined etc. When you use the VT master cyl you get a good pedal but you need more force on the pedal to get the pressure needed so this is where the booster mod to get 40% more is needed.The VT calipers have two 42mm bore pistons this is why a larger master is needed when doing the conversion . eg. If you have a 3/4 bore master cyl and go up to a 1" bore you get a good pedal but need around 70% more force on the push rod to get the same braking force.
