Brake question for a bobbed Deuce with 14.00R20 wheels/tires

[Alexander]

I'm on the cusp of bobbing my duce and putting the oversized wheels/tires on it. (I know the 395s would be a better choice , but I already have the 14.00s) I'm getting an uneasy feeling that with the additional rotating mass and one less set of axles, the braking would be marginal. Please tell me I have nothing to worry about. I don't want to spend any more money.....

Not much to worry about IF you brake system is in good shape.. No air in the lines, no leaking wheel cylinders, no sludge stuff in the master cylinder, brake shoes are within spec, everything working as it should.


Check your MC fluid level as part of your PMCS prior to any trip.
