Those are Stock OE calipers for 2000-03 Sportsters and many more years on the other Harley models

Hey Jack,

I am just doing some updates on my personal Softail. The thread on it is HERE. I will be updating the thread soon, once I get all the newest changes done & photographed.

Here is a Before and After pic from a while ago. Lots more in the thread linked above-

Oh yes. I remember that Kevin. Thank you.
Had been a while since visiting that thread and I thought you were doing a softail build on something else.Cold here but need to ride bad.
Was in Cali in Nov. for a family function and the wife an I rented a couple of bikes and rode east into the mountains.What a blast that was, but left me wanting more. Maybe move out west? If only...
Glad to see your main ride is doin well.
Enjoy the up and coming holidays and stay healthy. And thanks for the shocks ( ;

Subscribed to see how close this turns out to the '74 I had when I was a kid.

Yeah, winter can suck up north. Forecast is for us to have a bit of snow later this week...but it won't stick...besides, with the TG I can ride in the snow anyway.

You went up to Arrowhead/Big Bear when out west? That is some fun riding...but too much traffic out there.

Best to you and your wife.

I'm going to try and make it different. But you never know!

Spent a good bit of time yesterday and today cleaning out the shop, making room to blow this Sporty apart and have room to organize everything.

Was a big job, had over a years worth of prototypes and take-offs just sitting around. Have a lot of open space now.

Most of the stuff on those two shelves are going to the DK shop tomorrow...will give me a lot of room to keep everything organized.

Moved the donor into the shop. Started to take it apart, then remembered that Devin has not ridden it yet in stock form...so I stopped with the removal of the sissy bar and the windshield.

Once it is on the lift I am going to progress as quickly as I can...we'll see how fast that is with all the day to day of running the biz.
