Default 1996 brake upgrades

I'm getting no traffic on the brake forum, so I'm cross posting here. Putting 4 piston tokico calipers from a gsxr 750, harley floating rotors, and EBC extreme pads on my FXDS. They are close to fittings, need to more hardware and a grinding wheel. Will keep the thread updated as I go.

I can't offer any advice but I'd like to follow your mod. I wouldn't mind doing dual fronts on my 03 WG. I've got to find the appropriate lowers then I'll be in business. it looks like you've done a good job.

Does Fabkevin make brackets to put modern calipers on the pre-1999 lowers? I've got a buddy wanting to do it to his old lowrider.

Yes he does. My lowers are stock 1996....

I measured up the right side spacer, it needs to be 1/4 inch, ordered one on eBay with free shipping for under $6. Will report when I get the parts.
