I believe the Buells use a system like that. Should work pretty good.

It does look a lot like the Buell style... just not drilled.

Cool idea. I wonder how it would do on somethng as heavy as a Harley. On the Buell I can see it because it is lightweight.

I guess it would have a rotor on either side of the wheel? Looks like it in the picture.

Looks awesome... cannot be cheap with having to mill wheels to work with it.

I do wonder what the price would be because they said wheel options are unlimited so i wonder if that means you can get a custom wheel with it

Default RE: stealth brake system

We are currently working with wilwood to integrate their brake technology into our wheel designs. It is similar to the Buell perimeter brake concept. The rotor is basically integrated into the face of the wheel. The calipers are mounted where the fender mounts are. This eliminates your rotor, which hides your custom wheels. The only downside is that you have to have a custom set made. You can not buy any billet wheel and adapt this brake to it. I'll keep you posted on our progress.
