Default RE: Softail Springer question????

Do either of these require you to swap out the master cylinder? I want more stop but I don't want to have to change out the master cylinder.



I would go with Jaybrake or PM. They are the same. You must buy the bracket in addition to the caliper (as you would for most aftermarket calipers) . The caliper is $250 and the bracket is about $100... You could do it yourself if you wanted to. But I can't see it costing more than 1 or 2 hours of labor. Anymore than that and I would choose adifferent dealer.

Just bought my first harley.... 05 springer.... Do they make a chrome cover for the front brake caliper?... I know they make plenty of aftermarket calipers but didn't want to go throw the b.s. of that..... I'm new at this.
