Terry, Ask and ye shall receive: Now you see it...  Now you don't!   The bracket is available for do-it-yourself folks now and complete kits with hardware, caliper, brake line, and hardware will be available soon. And BTW, our set up saves a full pound of unsprung mass! Get yours here!

Ooooo, nice. The Caliper mount is listed at the bottom of the slider page. You guys might want to relocate it to the Misc. Products page. I literally just came in from installing my DarkHorse axle sliders. THANKS GUYS! What caliper and parts are needed for that conversion? | ||

You guys might want to relocate it to the Misc. Products page. My webmaster has a sense of humor? Hopefully it will be moved tonight. Bebop - Thank you! There are two known Brembo calipers that this bracket works with. I've purchased both on eBay for less than $50 each and one even came with a brake line that worked. You will need two 5/16-18 bolts and washers, the caliper, and a brake line. The installation is easy. Keith | ||

Aside from looking great, is there any other advantage? | ||
| Tq_freak |
Saving a pound of unsprung weight and the Brembo is a 2 piston caliper as apposed to the stock single piston one. | ||

Thanks Saintly! You beat me to it. Keith | ||

What is the hook thingy on slider in the after pic? | ||
| Saintly |
Matt, That's where you connect the safety chains when pulling your boat trailer. | ||
| Tq_freak |
I think that is the top of the race stand in the spools of the axle sliders. | ||

Keith, Is it possible to relocate the stock caliper with your bracket or does it only work with the Brembo? | ||
| Firebolteric_ma |
brembo only | ||
| Cowtown |
I'm assuming they're slimmer for single-sided swingarm clearance? | ||
| Skully |
I was not successful in fitting the OEM Buell caliper between the swing arm and the wheel. It's just too big. The Brembo is a smaller, lighter caliper. I thought I would be clever and purchase a caliper off of a "state of the art" motorcycle, an R6. I found the caliper on eBay and purchased it. When it arrived, I was shocked: it is a Nissin caliper that is an exact mirror image of the caliper on our XBs. | ||

Keith you should have a PM...... | ||
| Skully |
Got it! | ||

Fantastic! I look at stuff like this and wonder why I didn't think of it. Doh! Seriously though, nice bracket. I like the use of the holes to lighten AND give good stress flow through the part. NICE! Thanks for giving me another reason not to save my money, lol. |
