Default Anyone use Jaybrake 6-cyl. front Caliper?
I'm thinking about getting a Jaybrake 6-piston front Caliper since no
one makes front forks with dual calipers for FXST/FXSTB.
If you have experience with the Jaybrake 6-piston front Caliper , how do you like it.. do you recommend it? Thanks...

I'm looking at same and the 6 piston Performance Machine brakes in black. OEM front brake not good enough.

Well.. guess no one has the Jaybrake.
Went ahead and ordered one.. should give me about 50%
increase in stopping power on the front wheel... we'll see.

Installed the Jaybrake Ultra Black front caliper with 6-pistons.
Extremely easy install...bled the brakes myself.. also easy... but a second
person would have made bleeding easier.

Brakes are working good... brake lever is stopping half way thru
the pull...
will update you later after I've put on several hundred miles...

Are you using stock master cylinder? Does lever pull seem stiffer or spongy?

Used stock master cylinder..Jaybrake says caliper is engineered for stock parts. simply disconnected brake hose and reconnected to new caliper.
Lever is much stiffer than original,
