Default 2013 front calipers on a 2007?

Does anyone know if a set of 2013 Brembo front calipers will mount right up to my forks on my '07?. I have always hated the quality of the braking on my bike and have a chance to get a set of stock Brembos. Both are non ABS, so that at least, should not be an issue.

They will bolt right on. You'll need the '08 up rotors and brake line also.

And the 08 and up master cylinder.

It will work with your 07 master cylinder but it's smoother with the 08 and up master. I have Brembo's on my 03 Road King and my 07 Road King. On the 07 I changed the master cylinder to an 08 and up, on the 03 I used the 03 master cylinder. The 07 bike stops much better and smoother than the 03 and the only difference is the master cylinder.

I was told the rotor bolt pattern is different, so you will need the newer wheels?? No! and they have the 25mm axle and bearings vs 07 had the 1" bearing/axle. I thought of it when I had my 07 but it was going to be very costly, needless to say, I skipped that mod.

Rotors are the same except for the diameter, 11.5" vs 11.8".
