    fitted a PM 4 pot front caliper to my FXSTSSE 2

    not as bigger improvement as i would've like.

    pads seem a little hard, marking rotor ( photo )

    maybe a little more time for the pads to bed in etc.

    neutral really....would i do it again???  probably

    Hi Ralphski. I put a PM 6 piston caliper on my FXST and was underwhelmed.

    Then I bought the PM larger dia disc/rotor and matching caliper. The difference was remarkable, should have done it in the first place.

    I went with a PM 6 piston and use lyndalls racing brakes gold pads along with a floating 320mm lyndalls ceramic composite rotor and the braking power is beyond me. The bike is 40-50kg lighter too, so that alone probably would of made the world of difference

    Even got your brake disc blacked out there Squid!

    How does that stay black after a bit of braking?
