    Anyone have a softail rear caliper they wanna get rid of?
    Accidentally bought a Dyna style rear caliper thinking I could make it work. The softail style is the better option.

    Cheers!

    Alright, I THINK I'm after a 00-05 Softail or Vrod Caliper. No dyna's.
    So im not sure if  Chriso's would work or not?

    The issue the angle of that mount. I've gotta weld a plate on the swingarm to run it. Here's one thats already been done, and running the setup I want to run.

    Nah I've figured it out. They're very similar, but Softails have a slot like >< where as Dyna's have a straight slot. 
    One in pic you can tell has the bigger style slot off a Softy. I've updated a previous post with the difference.

    Good lesson boys.
