Why was it replaced? Just for the looks? They retail for around $100 from Harley. If it's in good shape and has life left in it, probably half of that or less.

Have you checked to see what used calipers go for on ebay?

If I were buying a 10 yo used caliper, I'd assume it needed rebuilding as well.
