Caveat Emptor . . . having listened to more than my share of e-Bay horror stories (the news headlines today were that fraud was up 33% on internet transactions) I'm at a loss as to why someone would not pick up the phone and call American Sport Bike. |

Well that auction posted above is mine. Fell on some hard financial times and will be giving the 1125 back to the bank so selling all my stuff for it. Oh an I ship overseas. Small flat rate box it around $13 international. Look close you can actually see the American Sportbike label on the ones in my auction. (Message edited by Krassh on March 30, 2009) |

There are two versions of the EBCs out there for the ZTL2 caliper...their older HH series, and their new Extreme Performance Series. There used to be FA-HH street pads, and the GFA-HH RACE ONLY pads that were a little too cold blooded to be used on the street. The newer Extreme Performance pads are supposed to have the track capabilities of the GFA pads but without the cold bloodedness. Marketing Hype? Too soon to tell. I don't have any experience with them as of yet, and we only have the Extreme Performance pads up on the web site currently. But since the EP pads are significantly more expensive, and not everyone needs that type of performance, I'll be adding the regular HHs soon. Al |

I never had a chance to try the EBC on mine. I sold them to Rainman1ne. I do not know if he has put them on yet. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ewItem&item=140307776359&sspagename=STRK%3AMESOX%3 AIT&viewitem= They were the new Extreme Pro Series. I know someone else on here has bought them, but cannot remember who. |

Thanks Zac, we will see. I am keeping my KTM 950R Super Enduro and am going to probably get some 17 inch motard wheels for it so I have the best of both worlds. It is the only bike I have right now that if I had to sell I could get what I owe on it. I am to upside down on the Buell and Harley so they have to go. |

Just wanted to know how much OEM pads were in the US? I've been asked to contribute to an article on the 1125 since I had the first one in the UK. I've also contacted the Head of HDBUK and their head of Tech for some other technical information but haven't even had the courtesy of an acknowledgement. R/CR owners feel very abandoned by BUK, a great shame considering the dedication and hard work the Factory put into promoting these great bikes. You fellas are an important source of tech info for us, keep up the good work |
