Default Chrome Brake Calipers

Looking for front and rear application for an 08 Deluxe. Don't want to chrome existing ones. Anyone know where I can get a good deal and better deal than the usual suspects...zanotti, chicago HD, etc?

Go online to www.Jirehcycles.com and request a catalog. Don't look for much at the online list.. wait for the catalog.. You should find whatever you need there and then some.. Prices I have found over the years to be very good as well..

I'd consider chroming the stock calipers. Just haven't heard of many good outfits.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Anyone else?

Side note: Finding that these retailers may list fitment as "00 and later" (for example) and sometimes it applies to the 08 models, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes these retailers don't know, sometimes they think it does and it doesn't. A big PITA.

Nor anti-chrome, however, black does reflect heat the best. If you take a black caliper and coat it with Chrome, you will contain the heat more.

Just a thought.
