Own a 2006 Streetglide and want to replace the stock calipers with ones that work better. Went with floating rotors (made in Japan sticker and all)Braided brake lines and Lyndall pads. Still not satisfied. Last bike had 6 piston calipers and was fantastic. Want the Streeglide to be the same.Any constructive input would be greatly appreciated. Just not sure which to buy. PM,Hawg Halters, Jay Break. They all look good. I do not want to change my rotors.As they were a present from my wife to be.

Thanks

I have front and rear PM calipers. they work great, however I don't have a comparison tothe stock as I bought the bike used. This was one of the main purchase points for me.

 

Gotta say ...PM brakes work great and the people there are great. My St. Bob has some cool special order swag...

 

I have the HHI 4 piston calipers on my '05 softy and I would have to say that their quality is top notch. Really love the look, come with the most complete set of hardware I have aver ordered, and (so far) function as well if not slightly better than the stock calipers.

no better bargins than HHI, the most bang for the buck!

 

I've got the HHI calipers with PM rotors(they match my wheels).Iwent withthe HHI because I didn't like how PM stamps their logo on everything.I wanted the plain look.I alsolike how the rear caliper is two piece --seperate from the bracket.Makes R &R of the rear wheel much easier.The quality of the HHI is second to none.

 

Thanks to all of you for the info. I went with apair of 6 piston HHI's. I really like the way they look. Talked to Ken at HHI down in Georgia. Was very helpful. Should be here next week.

 

For the love of God, could someone, please, tell me how to install the HHI Softail rear caliper??

I have a 2007 Softail Custom with a 200 mm rear tire.

I ordered HHI's 4 piston rear caliper kit for my application (CRK4-ST11C506). This is a one-piece caliper and bracket.

Even with the rear wheel completely removed, I cannot slide the caliper over the rotor without it hitting the rim.

It's not even close. I don't think I could beat it on with a hammer.

Can someone please help?

Thanks

 

I also should have mentioned, my bike has the factory slotted mag in the rear.
Thanks
