Installing Brembo Rear Brake on Earlier Bike
« on: February 23, 2016, 07:26:13 AM »
If a late model FLH Swingarm will fit FXR4. Will the labuy  08 Brembo rear brake caliper and separate mount work on a FXR?  My earlier 2000 style caliper and mount is one peice and makes changing the rear tire a real pain in the butt. Being able to remove the caliper from the mount would make removing the tire/rim much easier.
Is there a big difference in stopping power between the two types?
Would the cost be worthwhile?  The pic is an older that does not show much new shocks.

No difference in stopping power, they will both lock up the rear tire in a heartbeat...
