Here's what it used to look like. This was for sale about 2 years ago on CL and I posted it on the old 2SW site. Watercooled V-twin with the Honda inboard brake disc

You're right, didn't realize it was a triple, just assumed it was a 90-degree twin. 2 cylinders in front and 1 vertical.

I guess anyone that looked got the $175 BIN offer.

The front brake is interesting. The caliper goes through the middle of the disc, and the disc mounts via ears on the OD to the wheel. I'm not sure what they were trying to achieve, but it's pretty cool looking. It appears the design was pretty common, I just never took note of it.

Somebody took the time to get this photo of their CBX550 wheels with the same setup.

Those look like a lot of work and way too many parts.

Buell did a good job mounting disks to the OD of the wheel
