Arlen Ness - Additions for 2018 and up Softails


Rear 6-Piston 'Diff-Bore' Brake Caliper Kit for M-8 Softails

Available in chrome or black anodized, with black anodized bracket, these six-piston differential-bore rear brake caliper kits "drastically improve braking performance on 2018-later M-8 Softail models. 




"Our innovative design allows you to keep factory brake lines, eliminating the need to replace troublesome factory ABS lines (only kit on the market)." 

Each kit includes billet caliper bracket, brake caliper, jumper brake line, banjo bolt and any necessary installation hardware; the rear bracket kit properly locates the brake caliper for use with factory diameter rear brake rotors (11.5" brake rotors). 


Rear Brake Caliper Bracket Kit


The separately available CNC-machined black anodized rear brake caliper bracket kit allows performance brake calipers to be installed on the rear of M-8 Softail models. Designed to accept Arlen Ness performance brake calipers (4 and 6 piston), the bracket properly locates Arlen Ness brake calipers to the proper position on the rear of '18-up M-8 Softails.


Big Brake Rotors



Said to "drastically improve braking performance" and upgrade the style of the factory or aftermarket front wheel, Ness floating 420 stainless steel 'Jagged' rotor "is engineered for optimum performance and heat dispersion." CNC-machined billet brake caliper adapters are included in each kit to relocate the factory caliper for use with the 15" oversized brake rotor; matching 'Jagged' factory sized rotors also available. Fitment is for Bagger, Dyna, Sportster and Softail models (five-bolt hub mount), and available sizes include factory, 13", 14" and 15". 


Also seen here in "Standard" style for Dyna, Softail and Sportster models equipped with factory hub mounted rotors; they will not work with inverted forks or Springers. 


49 mm Fork Tubes


These gold and black finish 49 mm M-8 Softail fork tubes are available in a choice of factory/stock (23-3/4) and +2” extended length. The +2" length adds additional height to the front end for riders looking to increase ground clearance. They will work with both factory and aftermarket front suspension internals and fork legs. Fitments are for '18-up FXBR/FLDE/FXLR/FLHC/FLSL/FXBB/FLHCS/FXST.


Brake Arms and Billet Foot Control Kits

Ness offers a choice of custom brake arms in a range of finishes and styles such as Deep Cut, 10-Gauge, Radius and, seen here in billet foot control kits, as part of the popular Ness 'Speedliner' styled accessory range.


Offered in solo or heel/toe shifter arm configurations, 'Speedliner' foot control kits are performance-based foot controls that include a shift arm, brake arm, inner shift lever and shift rod. Their 3D knurled billet design drastically enhances foot control styling while keeping an overall clean look. 

"The shift rod features specially designed spherical bearings hydraulically pressed in for an ultra-clean look, eliminating the need for heim joints; each component is CNC-machined from billet aluminum; finishes include chrome red, blue and gold anodized. Fitments are available for Bagger and Softail models. 


Stage 2 Oval Performance Filter - 50% More Surface Area

Ness' Stage 2 oval performance air filter kits for factory oval H-D air cleaners both increase performance and add style to the engine. They feature a performance filter made in a high-flow, black, pre-oiled cotton media with pleated top - to take in air from the sides and top of the filter for maximum airflow - offering almost 50% more air filter surface area than paper filters found in factory oval air cleaners.




The increased filter height is specially designed to increase airflow without reducing leg room. Filter cover, spacers and clamps are all CNC-machined from billet aluminum. The available finishes include black, contrast, red and gold anodized finish and chrome; fitments are for oval Screamin' Eagle ventilator air cleaners and M-8 special/ST models equipped with H-D oval ventilator air cleaner backing plates.
