Hawg
Halters, Inc. offers a complete line of impressive 4 & 6 piston
brake calipers for the H-D aftermarket engineered for maximum braking
performance and show quality looks. Manufactured from 6061 billet
aluminum, all of our front calipers are a direct bolt on for 1984 and
up models except the Springer. Billet aluminum has better strength to
weight ratio compared to cast aluminum and direct bolt on provides the
most rigid and cleanest attachment method of mounting.
Our latest introduction is the 500
series differential bore 4 piston caliper. Engineered from the ground
up, it features a smaller diameter piston at the lead-in of the rotor
and a larger piston on the trailing side. The design causes an
equalizing of the heat distribution throughout the brake pad to rotor
interface which in turn provides optimum friction dynamics. In
addition, the differential bore ratio and total volumetric
displacement are correctly sized to promote the best brake caliper
response and brake lever feel.
The other major design change is the
incorporation of dual piston seals. What this does is provide each
piston with 2 layers of protection, a special wiper seal that prevents
contamination from attacking the main pressure seal thereby promoting
long term leakproof operation. In addition, this new sealing system
improves piston pullback which reduces brake pad drag on the rotor.
The same differential bore technology
is employed with our 6 piston product line. For those customers who
want the ultimate in performance and the looks to match, this is the
brake caliper of choice. As always, our calipers don't feature our
logo to insure you that smooth, clean, custom look. All calipers come
complete with brake pads, mounting hardware, 10mm banjo bolt and crush
washers. |
