Default Upgrading to Brembo

I was hoping for some advise. I'm in the process of upgrading my front brake to Brembo. I bought what I needed from Ebay. I purchased the following:

Master cylinder and housing with leaver

2-Chrome Brembo brake calipers

2-11.8" Chromed Rotors

two sets of Kevlar brake pads

I already have the new brake hose.

That should do it right? I know I have to use different brake fluid. This is going on an 2001 FLHTC.

Yep, did the swap on both the front and the rear on my 06 Ultra. Night and day difference. Well worth the swap indeed!!!

I just bought a 03 ultra and the front brakes dont feel the greatest. But it does already have HD Floating Rotors. Can i reuse these rotors with brembo calipers?

No. You will need to update to the 08 and later floating rotors or 08 and later stock rotors.

I want to do the Brembo swap on my '00. Can I stick with Dot 5 if I rebuild the MC & calipers with new seals?
