99 Road King brakes.....Aftermarket knock-offs

I'm going to rebuild or replace my original untouched brake calipers on my 99 Road King and have been shopping for options.

Any opinions on the aftermarket knock-off calipers available?...those are around $100 each for chromeversions too..I don't need to go nuts and get the absolute top of the line calipers so I don't mind the single piston options.

Thanks

OEM is going to be better than $100 Chicom knock-offs. Rebuild the originals, using OEM parts and ride safe and trouble free.

So much aftermarket stuff is a total crapshoot quality-wise. Not worth betting your life on with brake calipers.
