Default Cross Bones Brakes

>The faithfully styled front end rides on an 18 x 3.5-inch Road Winder wheel and 130 mm tire with a new four-piston brake caliper with chrome forged mount, color-matched rigid forks and chromed spring components<

This from a review of the CVO Springer.
Anyone know if the four piston caliper will fit or if it's available for the Cross Bones?
I've had different opinions on the wisdom of upgrading my front brake.

I'm with Ole Coyote with the braking on the Bone's.&nbsp\\; I had a guy pull out in front of me in the parking lot at work. I was only doing about 30mph at the time, but the front end locked, and it do hop!!&nbsp\\; ABS? A Buncha Stuff.
