I know they're not Bembo's. I took them off the E glide I had to put Brembo's on. It def feels way better with that caliper on it. they are cheap an plentiful an easy to get pads for so IMO it's not a bad way to go. I'd prefer the look of a PM or something but this was so cost effective I'm good with it.

 

I do not have part numbers for the caliper or bracket, but I will post eBay links to them when I get home tonight.

The rotor on the '05 Deluxe is a floating wave rotor from Galfer. I will be using a floating HD rotor on the EVO when I put it all together. I am sending the gold caliper to Joe at ***** Shiny to have him polish and chrome it. You can find the calipers in gold, silver and black. I paid $97.10 for the gold Brembo with the adapter bracket on it, and you can find them cheaper. I paid $30 for another bracket alone (before I bought the caliper with the bracket on it). This is a fairly inexpensive upgrade for a huge improvement in the braking dept.

Here's a bracket for a softail up to 99 if someone needs it

Those Brembo's are certainly the answer for a single disc Softail. I replaced my 6 piston HH with a Brembo and bracket quite similar to Mr Hockey's and the improvement was quite grand. My goodies came from QTMI in California, good money for good ****

 

Sorry for the slight hijack but on a similar topic - is there any relatively easy way to upgrade the rear caliper on these early softails (mine is a 91) using later model take off parts?

 

Could i do a direct swap on my lower legs to fat boy lo/ softail slim legs? Then just put there stock brakes on? I have everything to do it just dont know if it will work with the tubes

 

Those stock brakes ain't worth writing home about, especially singular.

 

Yes you could do that.

 

Do you want to re-use that 3/4" Tapered bearing front wheel?
Aren't those "fat boy lo/ softail slim legs" that you want to use from a later 25mm axle set-up?

That will be the issue...

You would be OK with 2000-2006 softail sliders (they used a 3/4" axle)

Well at this point it doesnt much matter as im going with a 21" fatspoke, personally i would like to stay 3/4" axle but its not a deal breaker.
