    I have problems with the front right hand caliper leaking on my 1996 FLTHC I have replacved the piston, seals& boot, the bore looks ok but it does have a slight mark about 3mm wide and 15mm long in the centre of the piston travel ( not deep). The mark is around the diameter not length ways as the piston travels. The caliper flexs / moves when the pressure is applied but the left hand one does not flex. Is it a problem with wear in the caliper slides and if so can they be sleeved or is it better to buy aftermarket calipers.Thanks Pat

    They could be sleeved but the 08 Brembo brakes can be fitted to your bike. Check out ebay.com for dealer take off as lots of guys add the chrome upgrade kits. Normaly around $250 gets you the rotors, calipers and master-cylinder.
