Harley-Davidson began using brake master cylinders and calipers from Italian manufacturer Brembo in 2006, when they were introduced as an upgrade on the V-Rod models. These new calipers were later added to the Touring family in 2008, and in 2017, models equipped with the Milwaukee Eight engine not only feature Brembo brake calipers, but also the clutch actuator.
The 4-piston Brembo calipers fitted to Harley-Davidson offer a significant improvement in both braking feel and performance, but have the disadvantage that they cannot be removed for maintenance, as HD only sells complete calipers.
The good news is that the American company Cycle Pro has just introduced a rebuild kit for the Brembo brake calipers fitted to Harley-Davidson, allowing the calipers to be repaired or rebuilt at minimal cost.
This kit consists of upgraded billet aluminum pistons that replace the stock plastic pistons and all necessary gaskets to leave the caliper looking like new.

Or if you prefer us to assemble it for you, you can send us the calipers and we will rebuild them in our workshop.

I have a Harley Davidson Tri Glide Ultra Classic with a 6 piston brake caliper and Harley Does not make a rebuild kit for it. I recently bought one from Cycle Pro for my year of bike and it Does not fit my caliper, I am returning it today. My pistons are 32mm x20mm 4ea, and 25.4mmx20mm 2 ea. Or 1.25"v.7880" 4ea.and 1"x 0.788". This caliper was only on the tri glides for 4 years. Do you have a kit for this? If not what is the MEASUREMENTS OF THE 4 PISTON KIT YOU NOW MAKE? THANKS for the 2017 bike? Thanks Harold
