I don't really understand the concept of a hidden rear brake. What would I be hiding it from? I know it is an aesthetics thing, but what are you gaining by hiding it, I mean it's still there, right?

But, that just me...

It's a upgrade for the oem stock rear brake. I agree about the hiding part. That came from the buell xb where it's complete hidden. We can indeed thing of a better description. All advice is welcome.

its easier to hid the caliper behind an aluminum swingarm -



the steel swingarm is to thin. It more of upgrading to the brembo twin piston.

Purpony, what brake did you use? I saw it done on the xb swingarms with a brembo. But never saw it on an x1 type SA.

+1 what firstbuell said!

I've bought stuff from Twin, asked questions and always gotten a fast response, and benefited from their posts and vids. A great company to do biz with and a resource for a newb buellster like me.
