 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. ((ReddTigger @ http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=908530))
+===== 2004 Style Caliper =====
+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. \\
