I'd price out from Brembo and Dr VTwin.
The doc is having his once a year blow out sale.

I bought some chromed OEM's on ebay for my 2006 for about $400. Half the price of HD, I would do it again without question.

Very worthy upgrade.

To get the full effect, you'll also want to install the rotors, master cylinder, and brake lines. Simply installing the calipers will provide a modest improvement in braking power, but nowhere near as significant as installing the other components.

Yes "I am 99% sure" send me an email webmaster@choppedbaggers.com and I will try and find the write-up that I found online.
