May well be a feasible option, Speed Merchant already make brackets to fit H-Ds for them.

Not sure you would get 100% of the benefits but it opens the choice up further to the latest calipers, Wilwoods, and ex-racing kit.

Prices are comparable.

One caveat, there are two bolt patterns, 100mm and 108mm. Will fit 11.5" and 13" disks.

By any chance does anyone know what bolt sizes to get to attach the adapters to the lowers and the calipers to the adapters? Or pictures of their later hd brakes on evo legs?

Those are just like the ones I bought off Ebay. They did not include the mounting hardware though. Do you happen to know the length of the bolts you used? Also, did you have to extend your brake lines at all when it moved the caliper down?

Don't know the bolt length but had to make up spacers to go between adapters and for legs and for brake lines just made up new braided ones.All it took was just one saturday arvo to do and made a great difference.Cheers .
