After some research I had decided to buy some Banke rearsets for my M2. I Called Banke up and was told that due to lack of demand they are no longer produced. Called Al at American Sport Bike to see if they might have one in stock. No such luck. Al is calling Banke to do some gentle persuading. Thanks Al for all of your help. If that doesn't work out anybody out there have a set for sell. edited by davefl on February 18, 2004 | ||

Dave, Try Modesto Buell. I know they had a set of the Banke rearsets, but I don't remember for which bike. Of course, that was at least six months ago, but maybe...  | ||

Davefl Jims of St Pete had some rear sets as well a couple of weeks ago. How are the bikes running by the way. | ||

Try A.S.B again, just bourght a set of rear-sets from tat.The costed 600$ and are worth erery dime. The most perfect part I have ever seen... Makes the Banke look like home made. Jan Udholm in Denmark | ||

http://www.casuno.com/parts/buell_m2.html I know its in japanese but check out their rearsets. (thanks for the initial link Udholmdk) | ||
| Mikej |
Oh man does that stuff look interesting. Thanks for the wicked link Wycked.  | ||
| Davefl |
The Jap rearsets look good but it does not look like they have much set back. The Banke unit moved the pegs back 3.5 to 4 inches, can't remember witch. Sato racing has some very nice looking rearsets but same problems. Jan, what was the brand on those rearsets. | ||
| Davefl |
SgtBuell, Bikes are running fine. Just got back from Key West. Over 1000 miles and not a hiccup on the S3. I have to put a primary cover gasket on the M2 but no biggie. | ||
| Blackbelt |
Buell is also continueing to discontinue (kind of a cancels each other out huh?) Tube items as well... Spidy just informed me that the RACE ECM for the X-1 and S3's are obsolete... HOW F*$%ed up is that...? guess i gotta put pressure on the wife to let me get my ECM finally. Hay DAVE??? got any instock? | ||

I've experimented with different peg locations (on the SV), and I've found that for aggressive (track) riding, I need the pegs higher, but not so much rear-set. I use my legs a lot to keep my weight off the bars, especially when braking into a corner. If the pegs are too far to the rear, I can't use my legs as much as I'd like. Just one man's opinion.

I have had a few rear sets on my 99M2 race bike, mainly due to the lack of surviveability of rear sets in a crash.Started with crossroads, be aware to mount these you have to drill holes in your frame on the M2.I was not overly impressed with the quality,and the overhead linkage was sloppy as hell.The next season I went with a Banke set up. as usual, his stuff is beautiful,for a street bike its the way to go. But on a race bike, its a little too vulnerable. Had a low slide crash on the left side, and it just tore shit up. This winter I made my own, using a Storz shifter. Its reverse pattern, which is better for the track.Its a more natural motion imho. I will post pics soon, I think they came out pretty good.I was concerned about them not being far enough back, but as Henrik said, too far back is not so great either.On my S-3 street Bike, I have Banke peg relocaters with a Banke Shifter, and love it.For the street they are perfect. I can run a longer / wider peg for comfort, and they barely touch down at street speeds. Its interesting that on a M2/ S3 with relocater plates the pegs are still a few inches lower than a stock X-1. | ||

Hal's (in milwaukee) has a set hangin up on their Buell Accessory board . .. . don't recall for which tuber model . . .. give em a call | ||
| Davefl |
I told Al that I would wait on him to get back in touch with me as to if banke would make him a couple. If they do I will have a set and he will have one in stock for some other needy tube frame owner. Thanks for all of the help. | ||
| Davefl |
OK. I did some calling and Hal's has two sets of crossroads rear sets for X1's. Modesto has a Banke set but it is the "complete" set with brake pedal shifter and all (a lot of parts that I don't need as I have a Banke shifter and brake. Can anybody say ebay.)? If asb cannot get the parts I will buy Modesto’s set and sell the excess parts. Anybody need a Banke Shifter and brake setup? | ||

Daves you talking about my post? | ||
| Daves |
Yes, and Gootch's, Bombers,Wyckedflesh's, and others. Maybe I'm just a little sensitive about this today as I am sending a check for this years sponsorship $$ today. Those other businesses do not, but maybe they should. Ride to the edge! Proud to be a paying sponsor! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

Ok you make a good point Daves. But the guy already went to at least one of the sponsors. Couldn't get what he needed there. So he asked for other options. Are you telling me that since I post to this board I am not allowed to go to any other retailer? That's BS. I do agree that maybe these other retailers should become sponsors to get their name around since they sell buell parts. But that's not to say I am not going to buy from them since they don't at the moment. I am just helping a fellow bueller look for the best possible deal he can get. What's wrong with that? I hope he buys from you since you are a paying sponsor, if you have what he needs. The place I posted up may not even have what he needs but its just another source. PS I am deleting the previous post in order to comply with not posting non-sponsors. | ||

>Try A.S.B again, just bought a set of rear-sets Jan, any chance you still have the directions? I've got those pegs on my S1 but lost the directions. A scanned image would be much appreciated. I don't see as much of an issue with regular joes posting trying to locate something out-of-stock (I mean no one complains about relative links to eBay auctions), but paid sponsors have a legit gripe about unpaid ads. However, that should be up to the great-and-powerful-Admin-behind-the-curtain. | ||

For the record American Sport Bike is being great about this. Al is working with Banke to try and get some more made. I really appreciate what he is doing and if he comes thru I will buy from him. I have met Alan from the site that was deleted from above, nice guy but like Daves said he does not sponsor this site. My e-mail is in my profile, If anyone needs to direct me to a non-sponsoring site e-mail it to me and not give them free advertising on this site. For now though I am waiting on a yes or no answer from Al at American Sport Bike. | ||

The Jap parts are eye candy but the exchange rate right now kills them You just about have to double the price listed to get to US dollars. | ||

"Are you telling me that since I post to this board I am not allowed to go to any other retailer? " No, that isn't what I'm saying. "I am just helping a fellow bueller look for the best possible deal he can get. What's wrong with that? " Nothing, nothing at all, but, it is wrong to post web links to non sponsoring companies. Do it in private if you feel the need to point them to a non-sponsor, thank you for your support! Like I said, I'm probably just really sensitive to this right now. It was nothing personal, just protecting my and other sponsors interests. Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

"Yes, and Gootch's, Bombers,Wyckedflesh's, and others. " Here's how I view it: It's great that shops and individuals sign up as sponsors. It's also great that people can mention or post links to other sources of parts and information. As far as Bomber's link to Hal's goes, Hal's has been a fairly major player/supporter in Buell's history and they maintain a "fair" stock of parts and "usually" do a good job in servicing Buells. I'm not defending Hal's nor Bomber, just pointing out the facts. And since this board has always been about providing information, finding information, and supporting Buell owners/riders/supporters/enthusiasts, then almost anything to that/those ends should for the most part be welcomed and not chastised. Now, with that said, sometimes abuses will surface. But as far as Hal's goes, I do know for a fact that a Hal's representative has in the past tried to contact Blake about sponsorship here. I do not know the final result of that situation. I will continue, as long as I'm active on this site, to post notes about local sources of parts and service. This is not to take potential business away from this site's sponsors, this is to help local Buell owners find service and parts locally first. Because if you don't have local support then you've basically got a mail order bike, and about that subject we can all talk about places such as Arizona. So, Daves, thank you for your sponsorship here and your participation here. But if you are going to get thin skinned about someone posting a link to alternate parts and service, then step up to the plate and proclaim what you have to offer. In the past you've been very good about that, and it has been very much appreciated. But for me, if Bads1 or CJ or Dullorb or any of the other local folks post that they are looking for a part, and if I happened to have been at someplace like Milwaukee Harley/Buell and saw that they had the requested part sitting in their clearance bin, then I'll damn well post a note about it on the site here. Your sponsorship is appreciated. It does not however give you exclusive rein over the realm though. Just perhaps you put a little too much sugar in the KoolAid this batch, eh? Nothing personal, just a counter-rant. ===== Blake, If I'm out of line here just tell me to take the weekend off. Which is what I'm doing anyway, but just thought I'd make the offer.  I am curious though exactly what the current acceptable protocal is regarding providing leads to readers and members here as to parts and supplies, such as newenough.com and other sites that are not sponsors but get mentioned on a regular basis. Exactly what is and is not preferred? Thanks for any clarification, and thanks for your support of all of us Buell owners/riders for what you have helped to create and maintain in this little corner of the internet universe. === my fingers are tired now so I think I'll depart.  | ||

well heres my take on the deal. If you want to say hal's or some one else has the part . well thats cool. but don't post up their link because that is sending business to their door that they did not reach out for. what I mean is this, without sponsorship this wonderful site that we have here probably would not still be here. so in away thats the big difference. we are helping to keep this alive in a I'll scratch your back you scratch mine sorta way. we know for buellers it can be tough because locally in their area they may not have it so well. But in a weird way if a local dealer has the part in stock haging on the wall and the customer is not aware of it, well that tells me that they don't frequent their dealer. More than likely because they don't care to go there because the dealer don't really give a hoot. Trust me on this because I know first hand, just because a dealer races buells does not mean they are buell friendly. I am not speaking out of turn here because as I have said many times. Tilley's was not the most buell friendly dealership in the world just a measley year ago. Now it is . so I am not being sensative just being logical as I think dave was too. he just ain't use to feelings so it thru him off as to what feeling he was having.  come on dave you can go to therapy with me   but ofcourse just have your diet pepsi....I'll have enuff for the both of us of the adult libations | ||

Bomber didn't post a link to Hals.He just stated what he saw and hopes he helped a pour BUELL soul.Come on now Dave someone piss in the koolaid bowl. | ||

I am curious though exactly what the current acceptable protocal is regarding providing leads to readers and members here as to parts and supplies, such as newenough.com and other sites that are not sponsors but get mentioned on a regular basis. Exactly what is and is not preferred? Me Too !!! I do like checking around and will get the best deal, not always cheapest cause other factors come into play, and I appreciate any help in the right direction from others !! But I don't want to get my feelings hurt either, so maybe someone can explain what links are okay, and what aren't ??? And maybe we should all get those links privately but that may hinder some who don't want to go to the effort of looking up my e-mail and e-mailing me ????? I thought being a sponsor here meant you could actively advertise what you have, which is a huge help especially when you have something no one else does, or you have the best deals !! And I also, maybe mistakenly, thought that as long as your not drumming up business or advertising for yourself it's okay to give someone links and info such as newenough.com ??? Anyway, just want to make sure I don't do what I shouldn't, I'm sure supportive of Dave and Bubba and all the other sponsors and appreciate them !! CJ  |
