no problem. If you look around On the asb site you can find the ones for the rear as well besides that you will not be giving your money to "the man" |

If you are going to whine, at least get your prices right. 1125R - H0300.1AMB BRAKE PAD SET, FRONT, SE7 COMPOUND Retail Price:$111.70 H0301.1AM BRAKE PAD SET, REAR Retail Price:$55.85 Looking in the archives, I see a post from 2.5 years ago that they were the same price then. |

+1, give your cash to American Sport Bike and other sponsors before you give it to Wendell for another round of golf. |

No way would I pay that much for a set of pads. The fronts on my XB were like $35 back in October/November. Bought the rear pads from American Sport Bike because I was ordering a bunch of other stuff and I could order a 2:00 am. |

well those prices are still more expensive than a good set of after market ones from American Sport Bike. |

It is important to support suppliers such as American Sport Bike and other Badweb sponsors. They are there for the Buell community and tie up a large amount of inventory dollars to expedite their service to the Buell rider. Al and Joanne of American Sport Bike are personal friends of mine and you can't begin to believe how hard they work to support Buellers at reasonable prices. I see their commitment on a daily basis. I do not trust the "commitment" of Harley-Davidson to support us but we still need to depend on them. |

2nd that on American Sport Bike. I can't say enough good things about them or their service. The first time I placed an order with them I knew I would always check to see if they had the item before going to a dealership. Speaking of which, I should be getting another package in the mail soon. |

No, the price hike happened a year ago when I went to buy my $200 M2 Main Wiring Harness. I place an order, and it got canceled because Harley upped the price to $370ish. So yeah, we've known about it because it took affect a year ago. |
