Default Breakout brake upgrade
I liked the look of the street glide brembo brakes.
So I bought a caliper on the off chance it would fit my brakeout, to my surprise it fits.
I did have to buy a set of pads for the new caliper. In my opinion it looks great.
It's a 4 piston caliper.

I think it looks great on there. And it bolted right up which is even better. Nice.

Talking to the HD dealer was told Brembo makes the Breakout (and other model) calipers for HD. The 2015 Softails received an upgraded front 4 piston caliper and larger rotor. If yours is pre 2015 sounds like a good move. Geee just noticed the SG has twin front rotors.....bro are you sure its an actual "upgrade"?? Two calipers would not need to be as beefy as a single caliper set up. But you do like the looks so that's cool.
