Brake calipers must match the rotors in order to work. It will not matter if your old caliper & rotor combination is 11.8 and you change the caliper and rotor to 11.5.

Thanks for the answer.

Can someone Tell me What i need to buy,when i Will upgrade my old Harley brakes?
I have only the Brembo floating rotors 11,5" brandnew,but the dealer Can change Them so i have 11,8" rotors as i heard is the right Size.

Witch year Of Calipers Will fit? (All models 2008-2014) or only 2008 calipers
And do i also need brakelines and Master?
Hope someone Can help so i not buy a lot Of parts,and so i cant use it.

Thanks

Lars

Bornholm, qtmi.com in California has bracket and calipers to fit your rotors. I dealt with them this summer, amazing customer service an knowledge.
Howard at Motorcycle Metal on this forum also does this kind o stuff but I came across him after the fact. Good luck and you will like the Brembo calipers

i started this project but never finished it. here are the parts you will need

brembo calipers
11.8 rotor
brembo master cylinder with brake lever
clutch perch with lever
brake lines
the correct dot brake fluid.

the original master cylinder and lines will work but you will not get the full benefit of the brembo upgrade. I highly suggest you use the brembo master cylinder. the old brake lever will not fit the new master. The 2001 clutch perch does not match the brembo master so youll need the perch as well. Parts can be 2008-2013 as i recall.

also keep in mind the 2001 and brembo uses different brake fluid that does not mix so you need to be sure to get all the old flushed very good
