    Thanks Bob A few guys on here keep this place active and alive, I respect them and appreciate their knowledge and effort. We are a happy family (mostly)

    Theres something about the simplicity and soul that Erik and his company put in all of these machines that can't be matched by many others. Of course there are 'better' bikes out there now, they have had 8 years to catch up! lol.

    His opinion is odd considering Buell wasn't (ever?) in competition with KTM, but I only get the bad press reviews from people who have never experienced one.

    'I hate Buell'
    Ever ridden one?
    'No'
    Well... then I hate being a Magical Princess

    Ask the sales guy about KTM's 'warranty' Go ahead, look it up, it's terrible. Full disclosure... The SuperDuke 1290 is on a very short list of holy-grail bikes I MUST own someday

    'another question: I appreciate the Buell front brake. I'm not aware of any other bikes with ZTL style rotors. Are there any?

    Of course. EBR is kind of related. Just seems like others would catch on to the advantage.
    Maybe nobody wants to give Eric the credit for a different idea...

    I believe it is a owned patent, not sure whom owned it currently , Most likely Bill Melvin. Mr liquid_performance.

    Ouch! I deserve that, what a rookie... I have to install my gas cap upside down for a month as punishment and tell everyone with a Buell they have a headlight out




    * I fixed-ed it

    Yep. You just need the caliper, brake line and master cylinder.

    For Buell XB you need :
    H1110.1AMZT Caliper
    H0507.1AMD Master Cylinder
    Buell OEM Stainless Steel Brake Line : H1531.4AK for XB12X or H1531.1AMA for XB12XT (not sure abou this one) or H1531.8AE for others XB

    On my 08 XB SCG I did not change the brake line. Maybe on the taller bikes.
