Has anybody tried aftermarket '84-'99 HD calipers on a tuber? I ask because I found out some years ago that the bolt spacing is the same between the two, but I didn't have a rotor to test the theory... | ||

Why, I would imagine that would be down grading from your OE 6 pot | ||

Hence why I said aftermarket. An aftermarket PM 6 pot should perform the same or better than the stock PM. But if they fit, dual discs would become a lot easier and cheaper.. | ||

let us know if you do it! | ||

My brother has a Thunderheart 6 pot on his '93 FXD. I'll try it when I pick up my S2  . | ||

Good luck, never found anyone with a left side caliper with Buell bolt spacing, tried PM at the factory. Ended up with a factory Buell racing dual set-up still in packaging and an aftermarket set-up from ISR . Both went with my bike to Don Casto. | ||

Here are pics of my S-2, red was how I bought it, but saw a pic Brankin posted of an all black one from factory and was inspired.Bike had 1250 with Baker 6 speed, Mikuni, stage 3 heads, Red Shift cams, Metmachex swingarm, ISR front dual disc set-up, Marchesini ultra light front wheel.

Well they're all Nissin brake hardware on Showa forks, right? You may have an easier time with finding jap bikes' compatibility. Perhaps time to go to a junkyard with a pair of calipers? | ||

Nate I'm not talking about the factory pieces, but rather the aftermarket pieces by PM, JayBrake, ThunderHeart (RIP), etc. |
