I’m also looking at doing this caliper swap with my 95 heritage.
lower legs for 2000 and up still use same axle?

Did PM 4-piston on the front and rear of my 97 WG about 15+ years ago. No proprietary pads either.

Just ordered up the Wilwood.. Didn't want to change lower as the front end is virtually new.. Should be here next week.

I did the 2000+ four pot Harley calipers with the adapters from Amazon. Easy and cheap swap.

Im also looking to upgrade my fronts on my 92FLHS. Would you be so kind to relay the part # or keyword(brand?) of these brackets so i can find them on Amazon.CA.?

The guys that have done the factory 4 piston swap (adapter/forkleg) is the extra braking force worth the effort?
I know it won’t match the dual brembos I had on my roadking but i’d hate to make the effort and find the difference barley noticeable.

I will let you know next week when I get mine all together, I would like you to know though is out on my 2013 Dyna with a bunch of guys riding aggressively and there was a chain reaction issue and I actually hit mine hard, hard enough where it chirped the front tire.. So is a four pot worth it over the old standard absolutely.. If I was in that situation on my Evo, I probably would have hit the guy in front of me...
