Springer 4-Piston Calipers: Safe?
I own an 05 Springer FXSTSI. I had the Harley dealer install an aftermarket 4-piston caliper on the front end. After it was installed, I read that Harley puts a single piston on the Springer because stronger brakes would bend the rail. Should I switch back to the standard single-piston caliper? The manufacturer of the new caliper could only tell me that he sold hundreds without problems. And my bike does stop three times better with the new caliper. Thanks in advance for the help.

Dude, i just bought the same bike, I would be interested in doing the same thing. What make is that caliper, how much was it with/without installation, if you dont mind. I would imagine everything would be fine, unless you braked so hard during an emergency.
