Brake question for wheel upgrade
I am in the process of installing a 2014 enforcer street glide wheel on my 07 Electra glide. I have got the axle/bearings sorted but I need some help with the brakes.
From what I understand, I will have to upgrade to the brembo calipers/lines/master cylinder in order to accommodate the larger diameter rotor. From what I have found on ebay, that will be about a $500 upgrade.
My question is this, what if I machine a set of relocation brackets for the factory 07 calipers to accept the larger rotor.
I am trying to do the wheel upgrade as cost effectively as possible and that seems like the way to go.

You should be able to get a set of Brembo calipers for around $200,ream the banjo fittings slightly and buy two new mounting bolts.That's what I did,stops just fine and no issues so far over the last two years.How about that,only a page away...

Caliper?
I'm wanting to put the enforcer front on my 97 rk but my single piston caliper will not work with it.

Crikey!!! Hate opening an otherwise interesting thread only to find the OP started it a couple model years ago. Okay, not so old in this case but still.
I like the way Rizzo went about solving the issue and may have beat my Indy which is saying something. He shimmed out the caliper just enough for clearance and worked fine, Still does the job after somewhere around 15,000 miles. Have not had to change pads yet so we shall see how that goes.
BTW, my bike also went to an Enforcer and the Road King is an 01.
