Default Ultima Brake Calipers

Hey Guys

I am wanting to replace the calipers on my 87 Heritage with new calipers because of the age of my bike. I have be looking around at 4-piston calipers, and find prices can be pretty high on some brands.

Ihad a look on Ultima,s site and found their calipers to be in the price range I,d like to pay. But this leads to my questions, are these reliable? Are any of you guys running them on your bikes? I'm interested in hearing the good, bad, and the ugly on this.

The part number is 90-675
At 136.00 bucks each, kind of makes me question the quality.


TIA

Though I don't know anyone personally who has run them, I've never heard of an issue either. The price isn't always an indication of quality on a motorcycle. If I needed calipers, they wouldn't worry me.

Well so far, I guess no users of these calipers.
I suppose time will tell. There must be some of you guys using this brand.

Thanks Tom
I will have a look at wildwood as well.

I was looking at those too an heard a few guys say to avoid them in the EVO section (Tom an others)...I was checking out those Wilwoods then I realized I have I have a set off my old 05 electra glide in the garage an I can get an adapter for around $50 an use it on my 99.
