Can't help you on your choice of calipers, but just to be sure mine would give their best, I installed 13" rotors with my Harrison Billet-6s!

Cant speak for jay brake but had PM's on softail no complaints i think if i was to do it on a touring bike i would forget about new calipers and put a good set of floating rotors on and a set of lyndall pads on and would be good to go.The stock calipers are not bad just rotors and pads are not great

I've had a PM 4 piston caliper on my Softail since 2008. It still looks like it did when I took it out of the box. Last spring I put the 6 piston on my Street Glide. Looks like new and works great. I have no experience with Jake Brake but I would highly recommend PM. Also, I bought them from WanaRyd. Good price and great customer service.
