About a third. The PMs, Hawg Halters etc are going to run some where in the $900 or so range (+ or - a $100), just for the 4 piston calipers. In comparison I'm having both of mine machined to smooth them (get rid of that peanut shape where the HD emblem is) like the Hawg Halters and both chromed for $300. This includes all new seals etc or basically a completely rebuilt calilper, for just $300! The other reason I wanted to keep mine was because they only have 1,800 miles on them.

When I talked with Joe at ***** Shinny today, he told me he has decided to start doing calipers on an exchange basis, which would be great because you won't have the down time like I am. So y'all thank me for that!! LOL j/k but he was telling me the chromers wait until they have so many before they'll do a batch so you end up with guys like me waiting for weeks until they get enough to run a batch.

"I've got to adjust my controls yet...the controls will hit the tank right now. I think I'm going to love the position of them"


Rotate them forward and it will flaten out your wrists paralell to the back of your hand and then the mirrors will work as well. You will be suprised what a difference it makes.
