Thanks Chaz. No worries on the shims, I work in a small manufacturing facility so I'm not thinking I'll have an issue finding shims.

Yea, that's great! No problem on the black, the whole bike is no trailer queen.

I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm about to do the same mod on my FXR! How did the install go? Any chance you can post a picture of the finished job?
That would be super helpful!
Thanks!

No prob on the bump.

Honestly I haven't installed this kit yet. 2019 turned into a blur that ended with me taking a contract to work at the south pole for a year (where I still am). I'll be home in November with TONS of time on my hands to work on the bike. These calipers and adapters install is part of it.

Just a little info on the swap you guys want to do.
Note that the bolts for the calipers are metric. One long, one short bolt for each caliper.
The shimming that TwiZted Biker mentioned is to ensure the caliper is centered over brake rotor.
