If you could be a little more vague, that would help

ok, got a 23" front wheel with a single sided Left brake setup, Im running the stock HD caliper for the time being and had to buy a brake adapter bracket from RC Components to use the stock caliper.. I have tried to bolt this thing in place a dozen times, I thought I got the right side bracket so I ordered another one.. got the same bracket..


Looking for someone who has done this or has a pic of this installed..


Ive worn google and bing out searching ..

You have a 2000-2007 Bike (Non Brembo)...yes?

The picture did you a disservice by showing the bolts going in the wrong side. The top side that you see in this photo (with the letters) goes towards the wheel.

I see they make one for 2000-07 & another for 2008-later.

Just make sure you have the 08-later for your brembo application, but that doesn't change the way it mounts, it just changes where the caliper/pads ride on the rotor. If you used the 2000-07 adapter with Brembos, the pad would ride .150" farther out on the diameter of that 13" rotor.
