xbones PM front brakes : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

Has anybody gone with those?
Ups & downs?
I am finishing reassembling my new build (103', flat tops, 255cvo, and heads ported) and some friends arose a reasonable concern about the oem brakes.
So is the PM kit working on the xbones?

Because their catalog says right side only even if mentioning the FLSTSB in the list of applications, but as u surely know the front brake is on the left side here.

Is the support plate usable on the opposite side? Is the diameter of the axis the same?

Thanks for the help.

I don't know about the fitment on your bike, but I just had PM brakes put on my bike, and they look and work great. I got a 6 piston caliper for the front and 4 piston for the rear. I don't think you'd be dissapointed with the performance or styling of them, they're nice. Hope this helps some.

Instead of the PM brakes, I'd recommend the HHI calipers. You can get them in 4 or 6 piston, in black powdercoat, and designed to bolt right up to your springer front end.

PM, HHI and Jay Brake, all good and much better than stock. I'm using PM with good results.
As far as the fitment issue, try calling PM, could be a misprint in the catalog.

Thank you all for the advices.
