Would 05 Ridgeback callipers fit 04 Chopper ?

Would 05 Ridgeback callipers fit 04 Chopper ?
I know the 05 is right side drive but is the rear calliper the same
as the left side drive 04 Chopper.
Same callpier just mounted on the other side ?
I asume the front calliper is the same.
Any and all info would be helpful.
Thank you Tim

I will let the experts chime in ... but i'm going to say no ...caliper configuration is different for Left / right side drives.

Thanks for your input, I can't get a visual of rear calliper, It would be great if it fits theres a set on Fee bay I'm trying to win for my bike- no longer a project- its standing on its own and looks awsome. I have all the brackets to hold callipers ... but from what I can see it looks like you can just flip it around and mount on the other side. Not shure where hose and bleeder will come into play ????
Thank you Tim

Curious, isn't the caliper mounted on the front side of axle? Wouldn't that mean you'd have to flip the caliper over and rotate it 180 degrees? If so, wouldn't that put the bleeder on the bottom of the caliper - below the input line?

I'm not saying it won't fit; I've replaced car calipers before and of course accidentally reversed sides... Fit no problem, but I tell ya; I was sure scratching my head for awhile trying to figure out why I couldn't get the system to bleed.....:roll::roll::roll:

Jus saying, maybe that lesson doesn't apply here - dunno for sure, but kinda looks like it from looking at my bike against pics.

Thats what I was thinking. I have a E mail to Jason at Strokers- He's been very helpful with parts and info - what fits what - Will this work- What if I do this-
I've been kinda a pain in the ass ,I can't afford new so I'm looking for used parts.
I'll let you know what I find out Thanks Tim

Update : Rick from Performance Machine informs me that it will work.
The banjo bolt and bleeder are the same size thread. So callipers can be used on the
left or right-eliminating them making left or right side mount callipers.
But all info is greatly appreciated.

I got an extra PM brake caliper complete in the closet if you are looking for one. Used is good..
$50 if you need it...
