Well it actually could need a change (and buell DID change it). Here are two pictures of ZTL1 :

And a picture of ZTL2

We can see that it goes a little lower on ZTL1 brake. About half an each lower. And ZTL2 brake line is straight while ztl1 brake line is a little twisted.
So I agree that both brake lines type might work on both caliper. But they have definitly not the same design.
Does the ztl1 and 2 share same brake pad?
Just as John said ^^^^^
Here is what a 2 takes https://www.ebay.com/itm/EBC-Sintere...UAAOSwdjha9Kos

Just look at the size not the brands.
Niklos: I have just been saying the brake line that came with your bike will work if you just add a ZTL-2 caliper and 19mm Master cylinder. You don't have to buy a brake line.
Obviously, buying a new one will work too. I don't see the point of wasting that valuable beer money.
Here we go. ZTL2 + EBR Rotor are mounted on my bike ! It took only 9 mounths :black_eyed:.
By the way, I had also the exhaust ceramic coated.
My "new" bike looks great !

So. Was it worth it ? Hell no, it does not brake that much better. But the feeling is different. I have to pull the lever much more than with the ZTL1. But it is also much more smouther and less "on/off". I feel like I can dose the brake much more easily than before.
Do I wish I did not do it and kept my money ? Again : hell no. I feel like I have a brand new bike !
Your bike looks great,
1. What MC did you use ? You should be able to adj the lever pull.
2. You might have air in the lines.
3. You should have major better brakes. I did when I did the conversion.
4. How many miles since you did this, are the pads bedded in ?
Well, thanks !
The regular ZTL2 one for XB12. Buell part number H0507.1AMD
I dont think so as the Buell dealer did it. And, so far, every time there was, even a very little problem, he dealed with it before giving my bike back. By the way, it brake hard, no problem about that. It is just that I have to pull the lever much more than with ZTL1
I think I do. Did not have time to use the bike a lot so far. And I wont be able to use it before at least 10 days.
I think the dealer did it. At least he definitly tried it as the brake rotor had some marks on it proving that it was used, at least, a little.
So, how many mile ? 40 miles maybe ? Not much more for sure !
