I know Buell has a patent for Stainless plated Aluminum discs, but has any production street Buell ever come with them? When I changed my tires this weekend I washed the wheels and noticed that the discs definitely appeared to be plated with something, but the core metal didn't look like aluminum. What are they? | ||

They are solid stainless steel with a machine ground finish which is then further affected in its appearance through normal use. I don't know for sure if any Buell street bike ever utilized stainless over aluminum brake rotor(s). I don't think so. I'm also guessing that "plating" would be the wrong word to describe such brake rotors, "clad" would probably be more accurate. |
