Samwel Brake Drums

5 products — part of all Brake Drums

Samwel brake drums cover the pre-disc braking era of Harley-Davidson — specifically the WL, WLA, WLC, DL, RL, and G Servi-Car models from 1929 through the mid-1950s, plus 1937–1948 Big Twin Flathead and the 45" Flathead platform through 1973. These are original-specification reproductions: the drum bore, lug pattern, and axle clearances match the period hardware rather than adapting a modern drum to fit. Samwel's specialisation in vintage Harley-Davidson reproduction parts means their brake drums pass the dimensional checks that matter for correct shoe contact and safe stopping distance rather than just bolting up visually. On a running restoration rather than a show bike, drum condition is the factor that determines whether the braking system actually stops the motorcycle. Iron City Motorcycles, an authorised Harley-Davidson dealer in Leeds, carries Samwel brake drums for Flathead and Servi-Car restorations. Browse the full Samwel Brake Drums range below.
