Default 2018 and Later Brake Caliper Inserts

So I found a website that had some nice softail brake caliper inserts and I ordered 2: one for the front of my 2022 Street Bob, and one for the rear. As it turns out, the rear insert opening is smaller than the front. So, the front insert fit fine but the one for the back is too big. The website didn't mention that the front and rear inserts weren't the same size for 2018 and later softails.

It turns out that for some reason, Harley made the softail rear insert size opening smaller starting in 2018. Couldn't find any applications I liked for the rear

Just letting everyone know about this. It was news to me.
