Each component is manufactured to exact OEM tolerances, ensuring a seamless fit on 1200 Custom, XLC, Sport XLS, and 883 models.

Key specifications include a lightweight package weighing only 4.6 ounces, compact dimensions of 4.49 x 2.44 x 2.44 inches for easy storage, and a polished exterior that resists corrosion. The kit is compatible with part numbers 43946-86, 1702-0121, and 46778, covering a broad range of Harley‑Davidson rear caliper configurations. Whether you are performing a routine maintenance task or addressing a worn‑out brake system, this kit provides the confidence of a complete, high‑quality overhaul.

Usage

This kit is ideal for riders who demand reliable stopping power on both city streets and open highways. It is particularly suited for classic Harley‑Davidson enthusiasts who restore vintage models to their original glory, as well as daily commuters seeking a dependable brake upgrade. Installation is straightforward: remove the existing caliper components, clean the bore, and install the new pistons and seals using the included hardware. The design accommodates standard Harley‑Davidson brake lines and master cylinders, making it a drop‑in replacement for most 1996‑1999 rear brake assemblies.

Because the kit includes all necessary seals and pistons, there is no need to source additional parts, reducing downtime and simplifying the repair process. The polished pistons also help dissipate heat more efficiently, which is beneficial during prolonged braking situations such as mountain descents or track days. Riders can expect consistent brake feel, reduced pedal travel, and a noticeable improvement in overall braking confidence.
