Anyone using this front caliper? What do you like, dislike about it?

Thanks!

Wilwood GP310 Motorcycle Brake Caliper
Part #120-7739, 120-7739-P or 120-7739-BK

 

Nobody is using this? Its a direct bolt on replacement, and you can use the stock rotors. There are versions for 84-99, 2000-07.

 

Probably not many folks have run 'em, as they seem to be practically unobtainium. Every time I've tried to look 'em up online, it's like a state secret that they even produce calipers for Harleys & the only place I've seen their calipers for sale is on JEGS or ebay.

 

I've got a pair of them for my Fatbob front end conversion. Haven't started the conversion yet, I'm going to try and get it done during the winter.

 

I've used Wilwood products for years. I have them on my Hot Rod and my Off Road rail. They make good stuff and stand behind their products.

I have used a lot of willwood stuff. Everything they make is really high quality. One time I got a caliper with a bad thread about they overnighted me a new one. Great people to deal with

 

I have not used that specific caliper. But I have used several of wilwoods rear calipers with great results. My only complaint about them is that they are hard to get pads for. Very good customer service though

 

Thats a good point...I will have to check that out before purchasing, as I really like my Lyndall gold pads..

 

Actually besides the usual retailers, Summit Racing, Jegs, etc. which sell OEM Wilwood pads there are lots of aftermarket manufactures which make pads to fit Wilwood calipers such as EBC, Porterfield, and others. You just need to do a search. There are also the typical remanufacture outlets which will resurface your pads.

Wilwood Customer Support responded to my question about pad availability. Doesnt look like there are any other options for this caliper...so I may not be using it. They say:

"Thank you for the inquiry with Wilwood Disc Brakes. Wilwood calipers for the 2002 Harley use a Wilwood pad and will not work with OEM style pads.

The pad material included is our BP-10 compound, which is our street performance pad. This is the only compound offered for this caliper, below are links to the pad information.
