I have twin disk front brakes on my shovelhead and the calipers rattle something horrible is there a way to stop it or does anyone know of a good 2 piston fix mount caliper for this front end ?
thanks

They (Harley) used to have an anti-rattle kit. It was basically a small piece of thin weather stripping foam, sticky on one side, that went between the caliper and the lower leg.


Also, check the trueness of your rotors. My left one was slightly off and when I replaced the pair, the rattles went away.

 

Wide Glide? or Narrow Glide??

I guess either way...the pins are probably worn and the legs need new Bushings...Mine are silent...Both!!!

 

wide glide front end

 

Yup I always found a strip of dense bubble packing foam and trimmed up my own version of those.

 

I noticed my calipers were very loose, just assumed the pins were worn. ill have to remember this thread when i get to that area.
