sportster brake
hey guys, i posted on this subject before and got some info. but i need more. i posted question on jj tonite and got deleted because i did not introduce myself, so i intoduced myself and posted question again. my intoduction got deleted and new post got deleted and the only reason that i got was i was told to contribute to board for a while before i ask for help. WTF!! I got a sporster front end to go on the triumph build that i am working on. i was told that it came off a 72 XLH. it has disc brakes and am told that disc did not come out until 73 and that 73 was a one year deal. it has a clebrake caliper that looks to take a 11" disc, and has 35 mm tube. i need wheel and disc to go on it and need to know what to get. thanks for any help i get.

Yeah, mind-bottling. You know, when things are so crazy it gets your thoughts all trapped up like in a bottle.

I may be wrong,But,Thats a 74-up caliper as the 73 was a banana caliper. I had the same one on my 75 xlh.So any 74-76 sngle disc narrow glide wheel would do itThats my 2 cents
