The brake pad bracket is available if you trash the pin, but I don't show a part number for the slide bushing in my FPM. The rubber boot for that bushing is available, but as far as I see not the actual bushing. Which is telling me, you've got to order a new caliper to get it.

Front. I'm not certain about the 98 models, but my 93-94 parts book shows the bracket part number 44072-92 for the left and 44073-92 for the right.
The pin (bushing) boot is part number 44054-83. But there is no part number or reference to the pin itself. What Harley calls a pin, is where the upper caliper bolt attaches through. The pin is meant to slide on the caliper, so it does need to be lubricated.
On the bracket, where the moving brake pad goes (and has an anti rattle clip), there is a small stud with a head on it that fits into the serrations on the head of the pin. You need to ensure that it is located correctly before you tighten the caliper back down, or you will bend either the stud or the pin's flanged head. (personal experience....)

Looks like 93/98 is slightly different but I think I know what you mean now I'll have to look at it again. Went to get the 6 orings and 6 sealing washers. Dealership didn't have and wouldn't order, refused to order! Went to Indy and they bent over backwards to help and found everything I needed and even sent me home with two pin boots just in case. They've come through for me before I they really went out of their way today and didn't have to at all.

They are smooth they just aren't chrome smooth. One tiny knick on the rear and one on one front. I saw a bunch of them today at the store and none were smooth like chrome they all had the dull finish.

These are performance machine. They are all stamped with the logo. I don't have any polishing compound but I tried mothers metal polish and that's as clean as they'd get. I can pick some compound and a new wheel up if I need to
Wondering now how I know if these are even the right piston size. I can't even find a PM replacement piston for stock calipers. Anyone got a front and rear piston lying around for 84-99?
