DLBeltran74 47 Posted November 11, 2021 Hey everyone. I currently have this 2003 Honda foreman trx 450 fm with front disc brake conversion kit on it. I’m trying to order some replacement calipers but a bit cheaper. Does anyone know if the mounting holes on this bike are the same as the 420 rancher or the 500 foreman? I see a lot of inexpensive calipers that fit those models. Please help. I want to order today. Tyia! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyia! don't know of any aftermarket source for calipers ------- and not sure if they are interchangable or not with OEM ------ which kit do you have HighLifter or SuperATV , Highlifter has two pistons , SuperATV one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DLBeltran74 47 Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) I have the single piston wilwood brake caliper. One of the calipers is cracker where the hose connects to it. It’s $90+ to replace it. So I was looking for something cheaper. I’m not racing the quad and don’t ride it a whole lot. Just need some brakes from time to time.

AKATV 839 Posted November 11, 2021 Not sure if these are the same as yours but its a cheap whole conversion kit in bad shape but the caliper might be there, check it out https://www.ebay.com/itm/115068372785?hash=item1aca9c0731:g:c0UAAOSwU8VheuL7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From a quick look , $90 isn't that bad a price , I seen the Wilwood dual piston Highlifter caliper going for $109 plus $9.99 shipping , you can get an entire Super ATV kit new for a tad over $200 ---- once whilst sitting round a campfire sipping shine , a wise old 4 wheeler Dude told me , " Son , you want to run with the Big Dogs , you got to Pee with them too , or stay your puppy butt on the porch and quit all the barking " LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know SuperATV said they would sell individual parts for their kits, but no idea what they'd charge. If you could figure out who made the kit you could contact them and see, or is that where you go the $90 figure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Wilwood calipers are out a HighLifter , Super ATV is Cha'i'na ---- Highlifter is China also now days , they try and hide it though --- lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thus my question. Never heard of a single piston Wilwood in a kit. Maybe I dreamed that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I dreamed that.. I am the drive-by this time around , he did write he had the Wilwood single piston , that threw me off , never knew there were kits that used them , all the SuperATV kits I have installed don't have a name on them and are single piston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
