Default Need front brake suggestions please
I have a '97 Heritage with the single piston front caliper. I'm looking to upgrade my brakes. Can anyone suggest a good system?

My original thoughts are the Arlen Ness 4piston caliper with floating rotor and stainless lines, but not sure if I'd have to upgrade anything else?


Thanks!

There are direct replacement brake calipers that are four piston that will fit your bike without doing anything else. Ebay lists them for around $150. Or you can go with AN or PM brake systems for several times that amount. The Ebay ones will operate similar to what comes on the newer bikes.
