Rear Brake Disc Rotor Hardware Kit FOVPLUE Plate 3/8-16 Bolt Set

Description

Product Overview

The FOVPLUE Rear Brake Disc/Rotor Hardware Kit is engineered to replace the original hardware that secures the rear brake disc on a wide range of Harley‑Davidson motorcycles. Each component is manufactured to match the exact dimensions and thread specifications of the OEM parts, ensuring a seamless fit that restores the bike’s braking system to factory performance levels. The kit includes five chrome‑plated bolts, each sized at 3/8‑16, which are the standard thread size for Harley rear brake applications.

Crafted from grade 12.9 high‑carbon steel, the bolts deliver exceptional tensile strength while resisting fatigue and wear over time. The chrome plating not only provides a striking visual finish but also adds a protective barrier against rust and corrosion, extending the service life of the hardware even in harsh riding environments. This combination of material quality and surface treatment makes the kit suitable for both daily commuting and high‑performance riding.

Technical specifications are clearly defined: the bolts measure 3/8‑16 thread pitch, conform to the HD‑0227‑E manufacturer part number, and weigh a total of 3.52 ounces for the complete set. The package dimensions are compact at 4.02 x 2.91 x 1.06 inches, making storage and handling straightforward. All components are packaged in a sturdy box that protects the chrome finish during shipping and handling.

Compatibility is a key consideration. The kit is designed for Harley models from 1992 onward, covering a broad spectrum of the Softail, Touring, and Sportster families, with the exception of trike configurations and specific models such as RA1250, RA1250S, RH975, and RH1250S. This focus ensures that the hardware will thread correctly into the rear brake mounting points without the need for additional adapters or modifications.

Installation is user‑friendly for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts. The bolts feature a button‑head design that aligns precisely with the original mounting holes, allowing for quick torque application using standard tools. Detailed instructions are included in the box, guiding the installer through each step from removal of the old hardware to final torque verification, minimizing the risk of mis‑alignment or over‑tightening.

Durability is reinforced by the high‑grade steel composition, which maintains structural integrity under repeated braking cycles. The chrome coating further protects against moisture, road salt, and brake dust, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement. Users report a consistent 5.0 rating from 14 verified reviews, highlighting the kit’s reliability and long‑term performance.

The design philosophy emphasizes both function and aesthetics. While the primary goal is to secure the brake disc firmly, the polished chrome surface adds a subtle visual upgrade that complements the bike’s overall appearance. This attention to detail reflects FOVPLUE’s commitment to delivering components that meet the expectations of discerning riders who value both performance and style.

Usage

The hardware kit is ideal for riders who need to replace worn or missing rear brake disc bolts after extensive use, accident repair, or routine maintenance. It is particularly beneficial for owners of classic Harley models who seek a direct replacement that matches the original specifications without compromising on material quality.

In everyday riding scenarios, the kit ensures that the rear brake disc remains securely attached, providing predictable stopping power during city traffic, highway cruising, and stop‑and‑go conditions. For touring enthusiasts, the robust construction tolerates the additional stresses of long‑distance travel, heavy luggage, and varying road surfaces, delivering confidence in braking performance across diverse environments.

Performance riders who push their motorcycles to the limits will appreciate the high‑strength steel bolts that resist deformation under aggressive braking. The chrome finish also helps dissipate heat generated during prolonged downhill descents, reducing the likelihood of brake fade and maintaining consistent pedal feel.

The kit is also suitable for restoration projects where authenticity and durability are paramount. By using components that replicate the original design while offering modern material advantages, restorers can achieve a balance between historical accuracy and improved reliability.

Target audiences include professional bike shops, independent mechanics, and dedicated Harley owners who prefer to perform their own maintenance. The straightforward installation process, combined with the comprehensive fit list, makes the kit a practical choice for both commercial and personal use.
