Yup. It is a GMA bracket and two piston caliper that is much better than the factory offering. Fwiw, I think BDL is marketing it or bought the GMA name.

You don't miss too much do you, Harry??!!
Time to go on the hunt!

Well... I bought a kit from Goodrich that seems to fit fairly well. It is a bit long but nothing I can't hide between the frame and transmission. The OEM is a slick one piece design but like THC said it is the better setup but of course not the look I'm going for. I just could not get it to work with the FX Softail controls.

I have a remote reservoir from a friend's remodel but of course that needs to be mounted somehow, somewhere. Does anybody know the size of the reservoir hose??? According to Ronnie's the p/n is 63546-87. Of course they don't give detailed specifications.

After having to relocate my reservoir I'd guess the hose is 3/8".
