ZTL2 brake upgrade on STT

[lowkey]

So I've been looking to do this for a while now and I've read countless threads on what parts people used on different model bikes. Looks like most go with a 1125's brake line because of the bend at the bottom of the stock line on the ZTL (should be good for a bike with lower suspension than mine). Ulysses guys seem to go with a custom line or I've seen guys swap the cable ends so the 45 bend is at the lever... I hope to go this route for the STT depending on the MC I end up getting and maybe lower bars without the crossbar.

-So to those that have bought the ZTL2 new from HD, does it come with pads? I bought it this morning already, just want to know before it gets here.

-What MC did you decide to go with?

-What brake line did you decide to go with (taller suspension model) and did you run into issues with length and MC choice?

List of MC's I've read people have used.
-1125 Buell 14mm MC 9/16"
-Nissin 19mm radial MC
-GSXR 1000 radial MC
-Hayabusa (1997-2003) 16mm MC 5/8�
-Accossato radial master cylinder
-Yamaha R6 (06-07) Bembo radial MC (16mm?)
-Brembo RCS19
-2010 ZX-10 MC

I'm leaning toward the Hayabusa because supposedly you can use the buell lever on it and I'd like to have matching levers (shorties). Does anyone know if that is true for XB's or 1125's? Open to any other bike take-off options that are cheap as well like nissin's or brembo's off something else?

And lastly are people really paying $340 for the EBR finned 5mm rotor? Or was this cheaper at some point?

My rotor is good and I can only recall once or twice in the mountains when it was pulsing noticeably, so maybe just get it resurfaced with the updated EBR hardware?

Wow 8 days and nobody has any insight huh?

Well... I got the caliper last night from HD in the mail. It does indeed come with pads! This makes it one hell of a deal considering I would of had to drop $100ish for them if I went with a used ZTL2.




Now I need to mount it and check brake line length to decide to stick with the stock one or get a straight ended one, possibly of different length.

Also still trying to decide what brake MC to go with. I'm still leaning to the Hayabusa (1997-2003) 16mm MC 5/8 but I have to keep the mirror mount on the clamp like our stock one is. I've found an aftermarket bracket that are for dirt bikes to mount a mirror off the clamp but they are for the clutch side. I won't know if it will work unless I buy the MC and measure the bolt clamp distance.
If anyone knows a good option to use that will let me keep the mirror perch please let me know.

pads are only $45. lines are on ASB for the Ulysses and STT. I found one new unused for $25 for my Uly. it is an excellent upgrade. I put them on 12R, 9SX and a Uly along with the stock 1125.

That's a lot of useful info there along with that question ... I'm also surprised nobody chimed in with anything ... I've been looking into a ZTL2 conversion also but not actively ... it's something I've got planned way down the road after I'm satisfied that everything on my Buell has been rebuilt up to my snuff ...

I'm paying attention to this thread as well to see if anybody can chip in with something useful ... :)

Maybe so but the best options out there are much more than that, at least this way I can get it all dialed in on the bike and have an idea to compare to the stock pads.

What lines are you referring to using? stock ones of those models? I've got an STT, I'm not 100% until I mount it but length is a non issue, it's the 45 degree bends on the line that is not "ideal".

Thanks I try! Ha ha but really I've got all the info compiled to do this better than most. I just want feedback on MC choice ya know? I've done things and decided if it was worth while or if there was a better option or not in the past. I'd like to just weed out that stuff and make an informed decision to save time and money.

Roger that ... Saves the future mod'ers research time as well ... lol

Here is the P/N on the caliper I purchased encase someone is looking for the same one. (black with machined ZTL2 logo)

H1110.1AMZT or try HD-H1110.1AMZT

iowkey, I used the nissin 19mm with the ZTL when I did my Lightning.Used a CRG shorty , as for lines I got one from a local race shop.Al at ASP was a great help.
When you get this done be CAREFULL, just after I did mine ,got caught short and flipped it end for end.

Thanks for the MC info. In the process of doing the upgrade to my XB.

looking around fleabay, gsxr MC's seem to be the cheapest.
