Default Springer front brake upgrade?

Looking for a better alternative to the single piston front brake on the springer. At least a good standard 2 piston. Any Ideas where to find such an animal?

Tate,
Didn't seewhich Springer you've got, but I've got a 2000 FLSTS, with a [chromed] 4 piston HHI [Hog Halters Inc.]caliper.
Got it via H.S.O.A.[Heritage Springer Owners Assoc.]
Way better than the stock unit.

Dave, Is that you?




Tate he's right...Go with a Hawg Halter 4 piston. Worth every penny. The stock brake sucks

I went with Performance Machine front & rear. Made a big difference.
