Softail Brake Components

Brake Components for the Harley-Davidson Softail, '84-'17. Brakes are the upgrade nobody regrets, and on a heavy bike carrying a passenger they are worth more than horsepower.

What Is In This Collection

Rotors, brake calipers, brake pads and caliper brackets, from Hawg Halters, GBrakes, Arlen Ness, Galfer, Lyndall Racing Brakes and Performance Machine.

Softail Fitment

Softail covers '84-'17 - FXST, FLSTF Fat Boy, FLSTC Heritage, FXSTB Night Train, FLS Slim and FXSB Breakout. These are cable-throttle bikes. 2018 and up is the M8 Softail, a different platform - see M8 Softail Parts.

Years that change what fits:

2000 - the Softail took the Twin Cam, a year after Touring and Dyna.
2018 - the Milwaukee-Eight Softail replaced both the Softail and the Dyna on a new frame.

Getting Brake Fitment Right

Three things decide what fits: your front end diameter, since 35mm, 39mm, 41mm, 43mm and 49mm forks take different caliper mounts; rotor diameter and bolt circle, because an oversize rotor almost always needs the matching caliper or a relocation bracket; and spoke versus cast wheels, as some caliper kits have a separate spoke-wheel version. If a rotor and caliper are engineered to run together, buy them as the set.
