Default Jaybrake caliper

I want better stopping power up front then I get from the OE set-up on my '03 FXDL. Looking at an upgrade to a Jaybrake 6-piston. Jaybrake is a USA company. Anyone make this upgrade? Opinion/advice? Thanks

i would go with the Brembos used on the FHL they are Harley labeled and from what i have heard offer considerable more stopping force....

I installed a DBI 6 piston on my buddies road king after i shaved the duel caliper... was very impressed by the DBI stopping power... great price as well and bled super easy... really the only complaint that i would have on the caliper is that the brake pads are held in by pegs that have snap clips on them, at idol sometimes they rattle and any noise a bike makes that it is not supposed to drives me BONKERS... that said i am going to get the same unit... but come up with a better way to secure the pads... prob use safety wire on them

Thanks for those 2 replies. I'm looking specifically at Jaybrake. I know Brembo and PM are big names. DBI is an unknown to me. Jaybrake makes/designs pieces/parts specifically for HD bikes and it is a USA manufacturer. Local dealer parts guy suggested looking at Jaybrake since he is familiar with and has used their calipers.
