Upgrading 2000 Electra Glide Rear Brakes
I've found plenty of upgrade threads for the front brakes to Brembo, but I want to upgrade the rear brakes to allow servicing of the caliper and pads without pulling the rear wheel. My intent is to buy used parts and not spend a fortune.
As in understand it so far, I would need to modify the carrier that supports the caliper, add a spacer, and find a longer brake hose or have one made.
What parts would I need and what steps would be necessary to adapt those parts for my bike?
Thanks,
Frank

Thanks for the reply!
A buddy of mine buys wrecked Harleys to refurbish. I may have to go parts shopping on a parts bike for a caliper assembly and experiment with spacers to get the rotor sitting in there right.
When I did a search a couple of members mentioned a post that had a pictorial step by step of the mod and I'm hoping someone chimes in with a link to it. If not, I may have to make one of my own!
