MCS Brake Drums

12 products — part of all Brake Drums

MCS brake drums give Harley-Davidson vintage and classic owners the direct-fit replacement drums needed to restore safe, predictable stopping performance to pre-disc-brake models running drum braking at the front and rear wheels. The brake drum is the rotating component that the brake shoes press against to generate friction — a worn, cracked or out-of-round drum reduces the contact area between shoe lining and drum surface, causing reduced stopping power, brake fade under sustained use and a spongy pedal feel that does not improve with adjustment. MCS supply brake drums to the dimensional specifications of Panhead, Shovelhead and early Sportster fitments where drum condition is a genuine safety concern, producing drums to the original diameter and width specifications that allow the existing brake shoes and backing plate to be reused. Correct drum selection requires matching the wheel hub bolt pattern and axle size to the specific model and year. Iron City Motorcycles, an authorised Harley-Davidson dealer in Leeds, carries MCS brake drums alongside a full vintage braking and wheel components range. Browse the full MCS Brake Drums range below.
