Default Chrome caliper, where to get them

I want to put chrome calipers on my 02 heritage classic. Are the after market calipers like you see on ebay good?

robs cycle supply sells good quality stuff not sure if they have chrome calipers but I think I may have seen some for around 150. I bought a complete set of switch housings, front master cylinder w/ cover, blades, and perch for 125....to my surprise everything fit correctly and no flaws in the chrome and they have been on my bike for a year. Just purchased a chrome rear caliper bracket for 70. I have full confidence with his parts.

Performance Machine and HHI make good chrome calipers for your bike. Nice chrome and better braking power. I would probably stick with 4 piston calipers front and rear but if you want even more braking power go with a 6 piston front.

If you are going to bother to get a chrome caliper, you might as well get a caliper that will stop your bike better too. I run the 6 piston PM on the front and a 4 piston on the rear. Well worth the money any day of the week. Next to tires, brakes are the most important safety feature on a bike. If you have ever had to make a panic stop you know what I mean.

Check out EasternPerformance.com. They have both Front and Back as a set. Kind of the economy versions but probably the same as the stock ones now only chromed.

If money is no object than go Performance Machines but they ain't cheap...
