Default Need some help!!!!

Sorry for the newbie question but i figure this is the place to ask. I have an 07 Deluxe and wanna purchase chrome calipers. I see ads for a chrome rear brake bracket for the rear caliper however I cannot see where the bracket is on my scoot. Can any one shed some light and help a newbie out. Thanks

The bracket is mounted to your wheel axle doubles as spacer...

Hey, be sure to check these guys out for some chrome. I bought a bunch of stuff there about 3 years ago. Swing arm $250 -Calipers $125 ea - Pulley $75 (I think) - everything is exchange.

I saw those guys on Ebay. crome looks good but I found another guy on ebay who a friend of mine has dealt with. He is only 40 min from me so i can check the parts out before I hand over the cash. Also the place u mentioned offers the calipers but they arent rebuilt. there prices are nice though. Thanks for the info.

If you are going through the hassle of chroming stock calipers you might as well buy some PM calipers that come chromed. Not only will you have extra bling, but you will havemore stopping power. Who knows how fast you might have to stop if someone pulls out in front of you.

I looked into the PM calipers, they are sweet! just a little pricey. they want $550 for the rear and $450 for the front. A grand for brakes is a little more than I can afford right now.
