NEW BRAKES FROM BRASS BALLS–Check out our new Signature Brass Balls Brakes made in partnership with Hawg Halters. They are now available exclusively through Darwin Motorcycles. They are the highest quality 4 piston calipers, premium billet. Anodized and contrast cut. We also have them in polished billet.
Proudly American Made. I will have pricing by next week. We will offer these as an upgrade on all of our bikes. We will also sell them on our web site.
Manufactured from 6061 billet aluminum, our front calipers are a direct bolt on for 1984 and up models except the Springer, which utilize the springer hanger. Billet aluminum has better strength to weight ratio compared to cast aluminum.
Our brakes are differential bore 4 piston calipers. Engineered from the ground up, they feature a smaller diameter piston at the lead-in of the rotor and a larger piston on the trailing side. The design causes an equalizing of the heat distribution throughout the brake pad to rotor interface which in turn provides optimum friction dynamics. In addition, the differential bore ratio and total volumetric displacement are correctly sized to promote the best brake caliper response and brake lever feel.
The other major design advantage is the incorporation of dual piston seals. What this does is provide each piston with two layers of protection, a special wiper seal that prevents contamination from attacking the main pressure seal thereby promoting long term leak-proof operation. In addition, this new sealing system improves piston pullback which reduces brake pad drag on the rotor.
We decided to unveil them on our Bikernet/IronWorks give-away bike. If you like them, please spread the word.

STROKERS DALLAS, SPONSORS TEAM UP TO HELP TEXAS CHILDREN–Dallas, TX (December 10, 2008)- Rick Fairless? Strokers Dallas and Miller Lite joined forces this past Spring with an idea to raise money for Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC). Raffling off a customized Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the two groups succeeded in raising $32,000 for TSRHC in just over 3 months.
In conjunction with the Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary, Strokers Dallas and Miller Lite teamed up to secure a 2007 Harley-Davidson softail motorcycle and turn it into a ?Dallas Cowboys? themed ride. The process to get the paint and theme approved by the Dallas Cowboys was not an easy task, but it was well worth the effort.
?We went through several rounds of revisions with the Dallas Cowboys before we all agreed on a paint job that was exactly right,? said Rick Fairless. ?But in the end, it was cool because we are one of the very few who can say that their bike is officially endorsed by the Dallas Cowboys and was approved by Jerry Jones himself.?
Once the bike was re-built and customized by the team at Strokers Dallas, it was used in a fundraiser for TSRHC. Strokers Dallas sold tickets online to win the motorcycle, at road shows and motorcycle rallies, and in their dealership for as little as $10 each. The bike was revealed at the beginning of July and was awarded at the Strokers Dallas Anniversary Party on October 12. The lucky winner was Steve Stanfield of Henderson, Texas, who bought his 5 tickets online.
Strokers Dallas recently presented TSRHC with a check for the $32,000 raised by the fundraiser.
?Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children patients, families and staff are so grateful to Strokers Dallas for their generous donation to the hospital,? said Stephanie Brigger, Vice President of Development at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children. ?We really appreciate our relationship with Rick and Susan. Strokers Dallas is such a giving company that understands the hospital?s mission of providing the highest quality medical care to Texas children, from birth to age 18, at no charge to patient families.?
?It was a great honor to raise that much money for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children,? Fairless noted. ?I have been supporting them since I opened 13 years ago and Idon?t think there is a better cause here in Dallas. I look forward to many more years of raising money for TSRHC.?
For more information, to volunteer or to make a donation, please call (214) 559-5000 or (800) 421-1121 or visit www.tsrhc.org.
