You might want to look up just what years you are looking for.73-76 time frame. It's been awhile since I went over to the dark side(Softtail) so I'm not exectly sure which years. Yes I still have my sporty's. You can but the parts from most any after market cataloge and if you wath ebay you can even find the parts there at times.

Like I said, buy everything else aftermarket and look for the caliper on ebay. maybe a couple of other pieces, get a Jehrah cycle cataloge, it should have a good breakdown, or a service manual/parts cataloge for that year

piniongear's photo gallery 		Here is the hardware you are going to need. This is the caliper unit and disc. In addition, you will need the brake lever and mastercylinder handlebar mount.
If your current front wheel hub will not allow a disc to be bolted to it, then add a new front wheel (or hub at a minimum) to the list. Yours looks like a spool hub to me, meaning it is not made to have a brake.........pg
