Does anyone know where I can buy a set of rear brake pads in the UK? I have tried eBay but no one has any stock.

Why not fit a Brembo then you will never have problems buying pads again...

I may even have one lurking in the garage that you can have for £30.

If you still want the 1125 pads, try www.brakes4u.co.uk.

I just did a search on eBay for 'buell 1125r rear brake pads' and I counted 4 sellers in the UK.

I would fit a Brembo. These pads are Buell only and with the number of 1125s on the roads, the interest in supplying and even manufacturing them will dwindle.

The Brembo uses an easily available pad and is fitted to many Italian models...

Time to think about long term survival...

Especially as the stock one is not rebuildable and is known to seize.

Whats the brembo off and is it a straight fit or are additional plates/mounts needed?

I was hoping free spirits were gona make an 1125 version of this:

Why would you want on if those, based on my experience with the Brembo, that Hawk has just had off me, when fitted to my S1s and XBs, there is more control and you can lock the rear wheel with ease...

That caliper is fitted as a single caliper to bikes in the weight category as the 1125...

It was the only upgrade it had noticed for the Buell until this post.

Cool I shall have a good look on ebay and see what I can find, it will be a winter project anyway
