You cannot go wrong with Wilwood calipers.

This is ugly? Please explain




What about the Brembo calipers? Are those "ugly" as well? It's a rear caliper, it is not as visible as the front ones!

I guess in this case, beauty is in the eye of the brake (caliper) holder.

Yup, especially if you think the Harley calipers are anything special to look at...

Ya'll have great suggestions but this guy is pretty stubborn.. We all tried to give him the best advice we could in his other thread,

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...er-arrive.html

After I had an accident on my Fatboy because I couldn't stop, mind you that was the older single pot caliper, I upgraded to the Wilwood.. Great stopping power and looks good too.. There are other aftermarket setups out there that look great as well.. I liked it so much that I just ordered a new Wilwood for my Dyna..
