Old thread but was wondering this myself. Front right caliper is leaking all over. Anyone tried this Cycle Craft kit?

I spoke with Cycle Craft earlier this year, and they claimed that the kits were DOT 5 compatible. Good to know,

these threads get confusing when people don't state the YEAR of the bike they are working on.

many (all?) newer HDs do not use DOT 5 to my knowledge. Also the calipers on newer bikes are different then older bikes.

I think Carlos was saying that the seals are ALSO compatible with DOT5 ... for those people using them as an upgrade caliper on DOT5 bikes.

Harley Brembos were original equipmemt only DOT4 bikes

Well gonna order the kit for $17 for seals only. Not buying a new caliper for $900 & eBay has used for like $50 but who knows what shape they're in. Worth a shot...

Well just installed the seals on the right side & bled right & left calipers. Feels nice n tight, will take for a test spin in a bit. Was definitely leaking around the pistons on inside of right caliper.
