I swapped out the single piston caliper on my gf's sportster for a Harrison Billet 6 pot.
The difference in stopping power is night and day; but is still wont feel anything like the standard performance of a italian or japanese bike, there is just too much weight.
When funds allow intend putting a 4 pot on my bones; Harrison don't recommend a six because of the force transmitted to the springer fork.
Would recommend, might save you one day

Reason: spelling
Will te harrison 4 make a lot of difference over the standard HD 4 ,I thought these where now brembo.
Jusy trying to get idea on how bad the HD ones are in comparison to the Harrisons.
I believe also that the Harrison is a straight bolt on using existing roters.
I run a PM 6 piston caliper on the front of my ride and the 4 piston on the rear. Well worth it. The brakes are the second most important safety feature, second only to the tires.

The Harrison 4 or 6 pot will be a straight bolt on. But you right you already got a brembo on the front, which is a great brake so swapping for a Harrison 4 pot isn't really an upgrade.
Be thankful you got a four pot, us Bones pilots are making do with a single piston ....
