Hey guys quick question will gen 3 b4 front brake calipers fit on my gen 3 heritage? If so are they much different in terms of performance?
Thanks in advance

I think the usual upgrade in that case is to go for Gen-IV front brakes.

Would you know if there's any master cylinder upgrades or just chuck them on?

Will be fine to just change the calipers

If you don't already have braided lines got onto replacing with these. They can make an amazing difference in brake pedal feel!
