Brakes 2.

I have a 1997 Ultra Classic & the front brakes are only just adequate.

Does anyone know it a set of calipers off a newer Glide or Roadking would fit straight on.??

Re: Brakes 2.

I fitted Harley 4 pot calipers to my RK. I had brackets made to a design that was published in the Quinn a while ago. The designer was Simon A. (Apologies) I have an empty file in my head where names should be. Someone (Turtle) kindly sent me patterns for these brackets which I had copied in stainless steel and polished to a virtual chrome finnish. I fitted floating discs and Goodrich braded lines to complete the project.
The increase in braking performance was outstanding and well worth the bother/cost of the job.
