Cool… very cool. Nice dual front brake setup, can you provide info about what make and model of bike the calipers are from and source for the caliper brackets? Thanks | ||

Jeremy Couple questions on your bike Did you add the oil cooler and it does not look like a oil filter? What are the pieces below your seat that hide the tube and oil lines I like it? Nice bike nice mods I also like the the foot controls | ||

That Buell decal is from an XB. I love bikes like that. Parts bin specials. | ||

I did my bike flat black with gloss white race stripes, front wheel and tank lettering when I first put the S1 tail on. I'll try and post pics for you, computer won't read the disk I just tried to put in with the photos, but I might know where another is can try. I liked it with the gloss white for some accent, would have been better with a white rear wheel too. 'Course a gray, silver, black, red, well and gloss accent coloring would be pretty sweet actually. Bike above is cool, looks a lot like a Monster, but I guess that was probably the intent. Not that I usually look for it, but the jugs look huge, wonder if they are XB or some other 1250cc+ variant? Not sure what's up with the polished swingarm if everything else on the bike is neutral finish. Seems odd to not just leave it in the "sand cast" finish base on the rest of the bike's common themes.

Totally off topic, but is that a clock on the triple, head bolt thingy? Damn I NEED a clock on my tuber so I can get to work on time. I have to leave so early and not make any side trips, ever, since I never know the time. | ||

Try a watch? | ||

@dutch could you either pm me or just post in here about that front brake set up you got going there. I dont ness. Want dual brakes but a bigger rotor is that set up offered as a single? Or do it your self. Also beautiful bike! Love the tail light! | ||
| 01x1buell |
it looks like an xb wheel/brake | ||
| Dutch_x1 |
the front wheel is from o.z with braking brake calipers. as far as i know they where only available as a dual set up. | ||

There is one of those brake setups for sale here...$2,500. New they were wayyy expensive! Definitely a sweet upgrade. (Message edited by brinnutz on October 19, 2011) | ||

first bike pictured looks very interesting, is that actually an M2? looks like older frame w/ newer header... | ||
| Dutch_x1 |
@brinnutz The set up that is for sale has a 3 spoke wheel ( perfect to match the stock rear wheel).for the rest it's the same. I have searched a long time for this set up.shortly after i bought my set up a guy offered me his brand new set up (it's still for sale). | ||
| Brinnutz |
Oh, I didn't even pay attention to the wheels. Even more pricey setup you have! Missed the OZ wheels, those are nice! | ||
| S1owner |
@Dutch Do you have a close up of your tail light setup and what is it | ||
| Dutch_x1 |
@s1owner The taillight is a flexible led array from radiantz: http://www.radiantz.com/index1.html?c6.html&1 The tail is adjusted to fit the led light. I will make some detailed pictures the upcoming days. | ||

that set up was offered from Braking until discontinued a few years ago. there were a few options available: 5 spoke OZ Racing wheel (that needed a rear OZ wheels to match up or leave it with 5 front and 3 rear, like i've seen the most and it didn't look bad honestly), 3 spoke Marchesini wheel (which is the one I have) or 3 spoke non Marchesini wheel (considerably heavier than the Marchesini). also the calipers were available in 3 different options: from billet without the bracket (there were different brackets available to adapt onto different bikes), molded with the bracket or without the bracket (none sure I made sense in this description! lol). Dutch_X1, yes they were available dual or single caliper set up (the single weren't very popular though). I wanted to sell mine, but after searching for one of these kits for years and had spent almost $1500 total to get the kit, built custom made brackets from billet and have gotten all new parts (new pads, new rotors and rebuild kits), I decided to mount it on my bike (it's at the mechanic now) and if I will end up selling my bikes, I will offer the bike with this unique setup. Braking has guaranteed spare parts for 10 years, but I will probably end up buying another 2 sets of new rotors and 3-4 sets of pads for the future, you never know.... :-) | ||

@The italian job I'm also considering to buy some extra pads and rotors for the future. Where do you buy them? They can't be bought in the netherlands anymore. You mentioned the o.z rear wheel. I bought a xb rear wheel because that was the most matching wheel i could find.do you know if the o.z rear wheel is still available? | ||
| The_italian_job |
I have a set of OZ wheels (front and rear) on my S1, the came off of a Benelli Tornado limited edition. it needs some heavy modification, but it can fit. here's a picture of the front mounted...   I buy spare parts from Braking in Italy. you can contact them from their website. | ||

Dutch Thanks for the link I found the plate frame with turns and stop/tail built in that's my next purchase! Which brings me to your bike that's why your it's so clean where is your plate? | ||
