Bought mine on ebay. They are chromed stock Harley calipers. Paid about 50% what H-D is asking and they look fantastic.

I went ahead and purchased the chrome calipers on ebay from EP.They are the calipers from drag specialties.

Bought mine on e-bay 2 years ago for less than half the cost of HD calipers. The work fine and still look new.

I went to a local shop and did the chrome exchange IHMO I think that's the best way to go. At least you can take it back to the shop and raise hell if things are not right. On E-Bay people get ripped-off alot.

I've bought from eastern performance before and have never had a problem.They apparently sell on ebay at the same prices as their site.
