12 Pt brake caliper bolts

Has anyone a recommendation on a polished stainless or chrome plated (brembo) brake caliper mounting bolts for a ‘17RG

I've been unsuccessful locating them independently (From Drag Sp, etc for example)

thanks in advance.

I don't know about chrome, but these polished stainless look very similar to chrome...

In some applications, they even have "show polished" stainless steel... but I've always just used the regular "polished stainless steel"...

Here is a pic of 12pt polished stainless bolts used on my 2003 Heritage, chrome primary... close enough for me...

I took mine off , put my drill in the vice along with a polishing wheel , hit them with some red rouge , got a nice mirror finish on them .

Diamond Engineering has the bolts you need. I’ve used them many times and quality is beautiful! Check them out online and give them call for custom applications.

Gardner Westcott has lots of bolts/kits for HD. Their caliper kit includes the bolts/pin in caliper as well as the mounting bolts, which are allen style instead of 12 point.

Not sure why DK only shows fitment through 2013--afaik same parts from '08 on--GW specifies 2008-later and I installed on my 2016 front end. I bought a kit couple years ago that included bolts for both sides, but I don't see that option now so you would l need two of the above--kinda pricey.
