Parts List - Prices are current for when I bought them from online discount places (ie Zanotti, Phat Performance, and J&P). Prices obviously change... Any problems just e-Mail me.
42943-08 Caliper, Frt Lft $144
42944-08 Caliper, Frt Rt $144
42941-08 Master Cylinder Silver lever $73 (42941-10 should be the same but have a black lever as the 2010 XR's come with black levers)
41736-04 Caliper Banjo (x2) - can be reused from old setup $4 each
41737-04 Master Cylinder Banjo - probably can be reused from old setup $5
44358-00* Front Rotor, floating (x2) $96 each
41743-04 Master Cylinder crush washer (x2) $2 each
Goodridge copper crush washers 10mm - Calipers $4/box
Goodridge Ebony brake hose (measure for your handlebar/setup) ~ $55 total
Goodridge 592-03-M12CH - This is one of the few banjo bolt fittings I could find to fit the Master Cylinder. $18
Drag Spec. Brake Tee (from J&P - here) $15
Russel 1/8″ 90° male pipe fitting, AN-3 male end (from J&P here...but Goodridge and other make similar) $8
Rags...and more rags
Brake cleaner
* - The rotors are standard floating rotors for XL. You may choose from any that will fit the XL. The XR uses the same as the XL (just different patterns). The ones I listed are the Vivid Black Floating rotors for XL's. You are presumably doing this to improve your brakes, so don't be cheap and use stock rotors...get floating ones.

Old thread I know, but a good one for me to find! I recently got a new 48 and have been researching various upgrades that I plan to do as money allows. I had been thinking about doing something to improve the brakes. A few days ago I stumbled upon this thread, and last night I ordered the caliper from cyclepartsforless. Then today it occurred to me that I'll need pads too. I'd like to get everything together so I can hopefully do the swap this weekend....
So, what pads are you running with this caliper?
I've read numerous threads recommending using Lyndall Golds as an upgrade for the stock 48 caliper, but it doesn't appear that Lyndall offer their pads for the XR caliper. Should I just pick up stock H-D pads, or is there something better? Cheaper?
