Hey when one racer says he thought rotors were included that could easilly be a mistake. When others say the same, something is wrong and I will try to get some answers!

Rotors are NOT included. The rotor will remain the same.  I have a few sets on order as well, and should have them next week. Can't wait to see them. I think this is a great move to a great new piece.

We also have them available to purchase on the website. Www.northeastlegends.com

I got to see these in person. They look like a very nice piece. The only thing I'm concerned about is the pads. The pads are only about 1 1/2" by 1 1/2"  and maybe a 1/4" thick or so. I'd imagine they're not going to last near as long as current stuff, but more importantly I'm curious to see how much stopping power they'll have with such a small pad?

Chance,

You can bet people are already looking to upgrade the pads. Whether USLC offers them or not.

I agree Steve....However, until some sort of picture is posted and/or actual brake pad sizes are known, it is very possible that you will NOT be able to put a brakeman pad or other into these calipers.  I would more than likely think the Wilwood calipers were manufacted to only allow their product to be used with them.   If so, then it will be up to Wilwood to provide good, long lasting brake pads.  As I said before, only time will tell... ;)

I can tell you without a doubt that we won't be able to use the current oem style of pad.

Doubtful that the current Brake Man pads will fit; But Wilwood sells lots of different compounds.

Pic did post. Thanks!
Looks just like the old ones the Dwarf guys run (minus the INEX decal).

Ok guys, heres what the kit includes, we are ready to ship them.
looks pretty simple to install.
Two calipers
pads
aluminum mounting brackets
two braided lines
.005 and .010 shims
bolts and washers
instructions

The instructions do state that there is up to an 8lb per side weight difference.

That is based on the Wilwood Dyanlite caliper. It looks like the mounting tabs look a little different.

We already use theDynalite caliper the rear of the roadster.

The pads are little squares and the life of them will be very short. I already have that brake pad in different compounds for that caliper.

You will need to carry spare pads...

Randy, do you think the pad will last longer on the Legend because of the weight difference? Although I guess being on the front they will take most of the abuse.

When you say you'll need to carry spare pads does that mean pads more then once a weekend???
