    I tried it on a 1200N with a 19 in. x 2.50 in. (482.60 mm x 63.50 mm) stock spoked wheel.  Without milling the caliper (6mm)  there is no way that the caliper will fit onto the project I was doing.  There are many who I do not know and have read their post that have tried this conversion and all had come to the same conclusion as I.  I am happy that all worked out for you but I know what I saw on this/my project.  Good luck to you on this.

    is this a hard install? looks simple a couple of bolts but looks can be deceiving.

    Any update on Harley Heaven matching price?

    So what's your opinion Scouser ? How does it feel compared to the std setup ?  I like the look and would consider it if it was a considerable upgrade in performance. 

    Are you going to get a better disk too or just leave it as is?

    Those wheels/tires are a 16" and not the refered to 19".  Unknown to me the 48 has 16" wheels and the 1200N which I worked on does not.    Looks good.

    Just finished test ride after fitting this caliper that I brung home with me,along with some other gear (Seat, etc.). Have say that even tho they are not yet broken in, there is a dramatic improvement in braking, and it looks way cooler as well.
    Thanks for the tip!

    Cheers

    I don't think these will fit on a wire spoked wheel for anything other than a 48. The wider fork width and front tire of the 48 give it enough clearance for the nissin caliper.
    But narrow fork models like the XL Custom with wire spoke wheels will have to change out the front wheel to an alloy type jobbie or a wider front end??

    Still, I haven't tried it myself but that is the mail as far as I know....

    Mate, they are not wire spoke wheels. They would be cast alloy.

    19 and 21 inch wire spoke wheels will have clearance issues with these calipers.

    19 inch cast wheels and 16 inch wire spoke wheels won't have clearance issues. Just to set the record straight or at least firmly crooked.
