I GOT MY STOLEN BIKE BACK!!!

So I get a phone call this morning from somerset pd that my stolen bike was involved in a chase and they have my bike and the **** bag in custody. The ******* turned into a dead end and try popping the curb but dropped the bike instead. Of course the **** face ruined my cream color paint job by painting it black and He also broke the gas cap off . I guess he didnt like my handlebars the way i had them because he flipped them over. ****** up the right side puck and rashed up the headers ( although it didnt punch a hole in it so i may be able to just rewrap it)? scraped up my front brake lever, rear brake lever , foot peg and bar end although my handle bars seem to be ok. He also broke my ignition and put a kill switch and broke my seat lock completely off and broke the seat latch on my brand new solo seat. he also scratch my right side swing arm but it looks pretty superficial......So I plan on fixing everything of course. It looks like i need new levers, foot pegs, subframe with lock, ignition switch, gas cap and maybe thats all. I think i could rewrap the headers and frame paint the swing arm....Oh and im gonna need the seat rails too...Its a 2006 xb12ss, Would the s seat rails and subframe fit without much fabbing? Thanks guys

brave to ride it around the same town and just repaint it. Id spot my buell in a heart beat, even with new plastics.

also my seat rails did have a small crack

glad you got her back[up] try Buellsterparts for the ignition/gas cap/set lock combo...evilbay too...are your seat rails broken?

I see the crack, sucks...surdyke.com or newcastleHD would be a start for 'em, good luck

my friend has a ss tail he is willing to sell. ill send him this thread.

Not too bad considering I guess? Glad you got it back! Good luck rebuilding it.

That's a good pic of why axle sliders are a good idea. I may use it if you don't mind?

Somerset is about 45 miles south of me. Believe me I chased down a fee bikes to see if it was mine. Kona that would be awesome! Have at it 50. do I get some free ones for the free advertisement!

Bike thieves need to be beaten, then dragged behind a vehicle for as long as the bike was gone, ie; months. Might not be much meat left when you get done towing them around behind your car/truck, but who cares?

Btw, the crack can probably be repaired (welded, smoothed back down and then re-coated) if you don't want to buy new.

Thanks man! Not free but maybe a discount.

PS - I agree with Dean!

Any way to sue him? I would try to get damages from him somehow ...

I got brand new levers, their yours.

Does anyone know if the regular xb12s seat frames will work?

they take some modification but its not that hard. the holes line up a little better when you use the tail lift from diesel moto. my friend that wants to sell his ss tail just got done putting the s tail on his bike

The sorry son of a bitch went to the hospital. Im sure he was faking it though. Right now the only charge he has is evading arrest. He says he didnt know it was stolen and that he bought it from someone. I should go to the hospital and put a pillow over his face! But anyways i talked to the cheif of police there and told him I wanted to press criminal and civil charges against him so im probably gonna have to go to court. Thanks Texan you certainly are a gentleman and a scholar. And 50dro Im gonna order some amber ones come december so be expecting me Kona I think i may go the s route depending on my funds but if not Ill try and bondo it up. Its good to be back guys!!

[up] glad to hear, not happy about the tweak job he did on everything by breaking and painting it. But thats all repairable. What can you do to seek compensation? I would request 5 minutes in a locked room with the thief.

Good to see you got it back!! Does suck about the damage but that can be fixed

Don't do bondo on the rail if it's cracked, it will not hold up. Have someone weld it. If needed, send it to me and I'll do it, I can even get it powdercoated again.

Glad to hear you got it back! As far as the hack job that sucks, I have stock levers from a 2005 9r if you want them for $10 shipped, just to cover my gas and shipping.

Agreed with dean on the treatment of these shitbags!

Pm me if you want those levers!

See if you can find his mugshot and post it here! I always like to see the face of defeat after these Effs get caught stealing!
