I had already upgraded my rear brake on the softail to a pm 4 piston. Now it was time for he front. When I did a front brake upgrade on my twincam dyna to a radial mount I saved the stock 4 piston caliper. I came across an adapter bracket by bikers choice that came with all the hardware and shims for about 45 bucks on Amazon. It adapts 00-newer calipers to 84-99 legs. I will say that the kit is nice and all chrome. I am not of fan of chrome because it rusts to **** here in Florida so I will probably change everything out to stainless. Anyway, I also had a master cylinder and clutch perch from a twincam to do a nice conversion of the handlebar controls Now my clutch pull is nicer with the open belt drive clutch being so stiff because of the bigger flatter levers. Here are some pictures. You need a new line and some takeoff stuff because this system uses dot 4 it stops legit now. And with a passenger
Here's a pic of the conversion I did on my dyna. This **** works well 
Enjoy

The one for the radio caliper is a speed merchant part. It's for 11.5 inch rotors but I had an 11.8 inch stock so I had to have some spacers machined. That bracket was 140 and the brake caliper was 30 bucks

Nice job Jason. I did the same on my '98 RG. It's amazing how much difference there is between the stock 2 pot calipers and the 4 pot. First time out, three miles from home on the interstate I needed to slow down fast and briefly locked up the front tire. YEE HAW!
