Night train brakes.
Just my $0.02: Start with good pads (that match your riding style/purpose), fresh rotors, and flush out the old brake fluid - get some new DOT5 in there. If that's not good enough? Step-up to a braided SS hose.
Stock calipers are already 4-piston front/rear, and the rotors are 11.5" which is plenty big 'nuff for a ~650lb bike.

Ive been running HHI Calpers and HD floating rotors for years . Never any issues and they stop well. Performance Machine along with a few others also work well. Tokia calipers on custom brackets are another choice.

You were probably changing most them FROM single piston floating calipers like on the Front of your Springer ... not the same comparison to the 2000-later Calipers

Big improvement over the Springer brake on my wife’s Springer and my 96 Bad Boy. Both of which I ran Lyndall Gold pads and HD floating roters. I did run the HHI/HD set up on theTrain in the picture when it had the stock Train wide glide on it before I put the Springer on it. Springer brakes aren’t the best but floaters and good pads do a great job. You have to realize single pts weren’t race bike stoppers. If you get every bit of air out when you bleed they do a pretty good job.
Way back when with stock front end.
