Hawg Halters has them. They ran about $600 when I bought one a couple years back. These are only 4 piston. I forgot. I have one though. Very well built.

Hawg Halters is the way to go, but 6 piston is a lot of brake.....

The 4 piston is a great upgrade over the POS stock caliper

be careful with the stopping power and the Springer.

Springer rear leg does not the 'rigidity' of the average telescopic front end, hence, many springer manufacturers even build springer bikes with NO front brakes.

Harley has been one of the most successful companies but again, be careful, your brakes may overcome the metallurgy of the front legs, and prove disastrous, Springer front ends are cool as drum brakes are, very cool, very retro, and are not made for aggressive stopping.

Hope this helps.
