Default OMP 6 piston caliper help

Hey guys I've got a question for you. I have a 99 softail custom I'm putting together with a road king style front end and dual four piston calipers, and the rear is getting a 6 piston caliper from OMP. My problem is finding a caliper mount. Now last year I found a mount from a shop and their website was very informative and they actually had the mount for sale. Not having the money for it at the time I filed it away for future reference. I can't for the life of me find the website or my notes on it. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks much

He makes quite a few different mounting brackets

Maybe you should do the 4 piston Brembo's on the front and leve the stock rear. That will likely provide the same if not more stopping power. Most of your braking power comes from your front brakes on a motorcycle. What kind of front calipers are you using? IS that front end off a twin cam? If so these Brembo's should bolt right up and you can pick them up cheap on ebay. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the idea but the front end is a dual disc off of a road king and has dual four piston calipers on it already. The calipers have already been purchased at this point so changing to a different set up is out of the budget. I do appreciate the input though Hogpro thank you

Maybe I should say the rear caliper mount is my problem, the front calipers are direct bolt on
