I read an article about the Crossfire that stated that it has drum brakes on the rear. Is this true?

 

I don't know who you are reading but be assured they are monumentally wrong! The Crossfires are all are equipped with 4 wheel disc antilock brakes. I suggest you cancel your subscription!! Harleygeorge

 

I do not remeber where I read it. It was an article that was on-line. I figured it was a mistake but had to ask the question. I guess you can't believe everything you read.

 

Amen!

 

I found where I had read this tragic lie about the crossfire brakes. http://www.forbes.com/lifestyle/2003...728test_3.html

 

The x-fire does have brake shoes on the rear for the emergency brake. I replaced the front with Textar pads which reduced the amount of brake dust considerably.

 

Where did you get the Textar pads?? and are they ceramic???
Also, the part Number would be very helpful..I was hoping that Raybestos would become available but so far nothing
thanks very much

 

I agree about the brake dust Pretty annoying. Surprised the Germans haven't figured that out yet and the American didn't care! Can't wait to change the brakes to Textar or other brand Anyone have an idea which pads are best?
