No, just a 4 piston, which is a huge improvement over the single piston unit that's on there stock
PM Part# 0053-2916-CH
You'll also need the bolt kit Part #0109-0100-CH

thanks HD,
Agree the standard front brake is VERY average.
I'll have a look on Evilbay ( USA ), they're normally a little cheaper than back here in Australia.

i reckon the 0053-2916, is the right hand one.
0053-2919 is the left hand one i might need.
No one can still tell me if IT will fit my bike.

You need the right hand brake, as it sits reversed (in front of the fork leg) on the springer. I have an 08 in the shop now that I'm doing this change to. Parts will be in Monday and I'll post picks then.

Older thread from me on the exact same subject , nearly 3 years ago !

I've just "got used" to the old Evo caliper on the front of mine , albeit with Lyndall LRB 7059 GOLD+ pads

My CVO Breakout has the 4 piston Brembo clone caliper AND stock OEM ABS. Never gunna match that on a Springer CVO sadly !!
