Topic: Anyone ever run an Early Performance Machine 2 piston caliper ?

 The cast type, the first they offered.
 I always wanted one, think they would look cool on a custom with Morris mag with a disc.
 I am getting with,  looks like no pads.. I believe info from back in the day said they use Goldwing pads.... can anyone confirm this ? Not sure about  seals either..

 Back in the 80,s we had a girl got her Harley wiped out by a car and we repaired it.
 From the then new Performance  Machine, we ordered  a brand new Morris mag, 2 of these PM calipers, and 2 cast drilled rotors..... for the wide glide front end.. I worked really well..

 Those do look like gl pads. I'll see if I can get a pic of a set.

 I won't have caliper in hand for some time. I suspect 82 or earlier GL pads.
 PM started to make similar calipers again, but they are like 400 or more , and not the same.

 I am surprised no one remembers, very few choices around 1980, and no billet calipers..

 Mine are FA29 for the front.  Dagnabbit.

I got the caliper I started to sand the fins for contrast. Will need pads that slide on pins.
 So I put it on two vintage rotors, at least one is PM . Not sure which looks better but i think it would look great on a 16 inch Morris mag..
 Not sure if anyone else likes the look.

Nice caliper. Does it come with a bracket?

[Don R]

 Brackets? Brackets are like Badges, Frank don't need no stinking bracket. L0L! Frank makes brackets.

If GL then possibly F0 or F1 rear disc pads

[754]

That brake hanger can be made wuth a drill press, file and grinder... so I can make a nicer one..
 I will look at the FO pads . Thanks ...looks like the ones.

Two hanger were offered , so caliper
 Could be at 2 oclock or 6 oclock..

Frank,  if you download the SBS catalogue at the link below, from about page 112 to 600+ it has drawings and measurements of what must be well over 1000 different pads. Yours will be there somewhere...
