Wide-Glide Brake Question

 Beer and other adult beverages of your choice for gearheads out
there.


I've got Wide-Glide forks on my '48 Panhead. They use the dual 10"
brake rotors. They suck.

Does anyone here have experience using GMA calipers on this setup.
If so, are they any better?

Is there a better way to improve the 10" dual brakes without
replacing the entire fork assembly?

I've got a few months to screw around with it and new heater in the
garage. Right now it's a classic bobber, but I have a bunch of
options, including an FLH front end, a springer or just replacing
the brakes with better ones.

get the used brake set ups on e bay for under $100 for the pair.
