I used the Demons Cycle adapter on my old Sporty and fitted the 4-pot caliper......marvellous, worth every penny!
That 48 bucks and another 50-80 for the caliper is chicken-feed when you compare it to the cost of some of the aftermarket stuff....

I have 06 road king fork legs and calipers on my 95, bought the bits from the US (i am in the UK) for less than $100, they go straight on and it takes no time at all to do the conversion, the only thing you will need is a brass bushing as the newer legs are for a 1" axle, a local indy sold me mine for a few pounds.
The difference from the stock twin disc single pot brakes to the twin disc 4 pots is fantastic.
I also sold my take off legs and callipers to someone here in the uk for more than i paid for the new stuff - results all round

I'd contacted them spanners, that part is for a front LEFT adapter only, and they don't offer/sell a front right adapter. i'd really rather keep the dual discs. the bike has chrome lower legs, and i'd hate to toss those just for brakes (add in cost on new lower legs, and i'm getting real close to the cost of a pair of HawgHalters or PM 4pots)

I am pretty sure it does both sides, all it does is bolt on and the caliper bolts to it.....just put the bolts through the other way....I am looking for some pics of a conversion to be 100% sure, I'll be back.....
