A tad bit expensive at $1,700.00 but I'm certain it will look KILLER on your bike.


Great idea and CONGRATULATIONS! !
BTW... I know somebody will need a picture before you get it installed, I'll help out with that part :

thanks for the pic....... looks just like the one I have... any ideas for mockup for caliper ??&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; As far as expense seemed to me it would run me about the same to go with a springer, and I have always loved the old Indian look...

You could always get one of these unobtrusive little buggers, then all you've got to do is weld a tab on the fork for the adjustment mount on the caliper bracket. They come from many manufacturers so you have alot of options (or make your own):
