Has anyone upgraded to 13" rotors on a Softail? Hill County Cycles & RC Components make brackets adapting the HD-Brembo calipers for the Touring range but can those same brackets be used (with the HD Brembo calipers) on a Softail? If not, are there any other caliper relocation brackets that are readily available for Softails to move to a 13" rotor.

I've already moved to the HD-Brembo Touring Calipers & an 11.8" full floating rotor. I still feel the setup is a wee bit short on real confident stops from speed despite ABS.

Look forward to some insights.

I have been looking very hard for 13" caliper bracket with no success. I dont think the bagger 13" caliper bracket will fit. It would be great if some one could measure a softail and bagger to verify.

You can use a caliper designed for a 13" rotor. $380.

Have found a bracket that may work...

Their tech have confirmed it would work with touring calipers on a softail. Do take a look and share your thoughts. Would be helpful as I'm on the other side of the world & shipping parts is pretty painful.

A discrepancy with the Application models listed as FLST is not listed. However, FLST is listed in the tech notes. But it says to use "#23-1569 caliper bracket for FLST model". The 23-1569 is the right side bracket.

Secondly, when they say to use a touring caliper, are they referring to the newer brembo which uses an 11.8" rotor or the older style which uses an 11.5 rotor?

Try contacting manufacturer, v-twin mfg to confirm.
