The brake is a 4 piston JP caliper with dog leg mounts designed for springer front ends. Then you buy a caliper mounting kit for springer front ends and bolt it all together. Midwest motorcycle supply sells all different kinds. The front wheel is a Harley 21" so everything just lines up. Follow this link for some examples. This is not what I used but you get the idea. www.superiormcsupply.c...-2000.html

Stock carbs, the stacks don't work so good, too much air. I am changing them tonight to K & N filters which should be better. They ran good at lower rpm's but too lean when wide open throttle. I already stepped the jets up and don't want to play around with it any more. Also you asked about the frame, my buddy fabricated and welded the hardtail on, he did a fantastic job for me!
