The 2000 and newer bikes have a completely different mounting boss for the brakes. If you want to upgrade to Brembo calipers you're going to need the lowers from a 2000 and newer model. The stock aluminum style is the same price as the chrome version (at retail) so if you like chrome, it's definitely the way to go.

+ | When removing the rear caliper pin bolt (44184-04) and raising the caliper, the brake pads will rotate and come out of the retention clip. ((HD Tech Tip #58 dated 5-10-2004)) \\ | ||
+ | During reassembly you must be certain to visually check that the brake pads are properly reinserted into the retention clip. \\ | ||
+ | If the pads are not positioned properly you will cross thread the pin bolt in the aluminum caliper during reassembly. \\ | ||
+ | A cross-threaded caliper pin bolt may permit the caliper to rock side to side on the bracket when the brake is applied causing drag and noise. \\ | ||
