Default 48 brake upgrade options

does anyone know what 4 piston calipers from other HD models is a direct bolt on on the 48?
i would like to upgrade both front and rear brakes, i guess better calipers and lines would be a good start.

I know there's been a couple people who've put the XR front caliper on their 48's and say it performs better.

the XR calipers are hard to find unless you buy them new. however, Vrods, SG..... are everywhere. one of them has to fit!
