I used 2000 up lower legs and calipers and master.
I installed this on my 97 FLH.
Much better imo.
All that was pretty cheap on Ebay.
Speedo drive fits right as I still have OEM 97 wheel, axle and rotors
Only "problem" is , bushings need to be made to fit 3/4" 1997 axle to 1" 2000 legs.
OR you could have a 2000 axle turned down to 3/4" and it should work.

PM vintage 4-piston is the route I went. It bolts right up with the included adapter. On my bike it was centered on the disc, too, so I didn't even have to shim it. It was around 400 bucks. I also changed over to a braided-steel line which was another 60 or so. Much better braking than the single-piston that was OE.

Any idea what models of bikes came with that 40mm caliper? Also any picture of it mounted on a bike? How is the stopping power of one of these compared to the stock single piston.

I just search for "Brembo Caliper" on ebay and visually pick them out
There was a post by forum member dfwhockey17 (right in your neighborhood
), but the photo is gone now. It showed exactly what were talking about 40mm Brembo with adapter on a FLST...you might reach out to him (seems to be a "softail guy")https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...l#post15400960
here's some info to check out...new stuff

Some Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, but they also use 65mm and of course "Radial-mount".

Its funny I actually think I know who that is. If its who I am thinking of, we couldn't come up with any actual part number for the caliper, just have to search like you suggested. and I am having a hard time finding them.
