My build

[dmp0001]

I just picked up a 2009 XB12scg. This is my third Buell; I had a 2003 XB9sl and a 2008 scg before this one. When I picked her up she was bone stock except for some Apirilia mirrors and some axle sliders:

My first mod was to adjust the suspension and delete those chicken strips:

Now she looks like this:

I sent the muffler off to Drummer to get done. While the bike was down I changed all fluids over to amsoil 20w50. I also went with some NGK iridium spark plugs, the old ones looked pretty worn:

Plus a K&N

and I got started on the tail chop, it's currently sanded down and primed for paint:

Still to go are the Drummer and EBR ECM, they are both in the mail.

Here are my old Buells.

I want to go black with red logo bodywork, like the 2009 firebolt. probably next year though because its time to ride.

The rear end is all cleaned up with a tail chop and new LED blinkers. I am still waiting on the drummer and ECU though. It's 70 outside and I can't wait to ride!

Plastidip black the underside of your plastics. It makes them appear black but in good sunlight there is a hint of red to it.

I recently pained my red Firebolt windscreen this way and it turned out amazing.

303Xb, we should meet up some time... I need a muffeler first.

Oh9bolt, I like the idea, might try it. I even have some black plastidip in the garage.

[dmp0001]

Muffler is still not here, but I got some 50-dro axle sliders!

I will have it on and ready tomorrow (supposed to rain and snow). The build quality is exceptional! I am excited to install and hear the music.

Thanks! [up]

I got her all back together and took her for a ride. The drummer sounds great! The sound is nice and deep and a little on the loud side. I am still waiting on my EBR ECM but the bike ran good and made noticeably more power than stock. Mods for this year are:
Drummer with core wrap
EBR ECM (still in shipping)
DIY tail chop
50-DRO axle sliders
K&N air and oil filters
NGK iridium spark plugs
Amsoil 20w50 in both holes
de-bronze headers
Now the weather is picking up and it's time to ride!

That's one sexy looking bike.

Thanks

crossed my mind today that I do not remember putting loctite on my rear axle pinch bolt.... Went out to check it and it is gone. I checked the torque on the rear axle and ran all over town looking for a stainless 7/16-14 x 1.5. Everywhere had it in zinc or chrome but I want stainless. Finally found it at a mom and pop hardware shop downtown. Lesson learned and no harm done.

American Muscle at it's finestDodge Challenger's made in Canada...:p

[dmp0001]

The only two American cars that are still made in America from American parts are the F150 and the viper. It is a big car with a loud V8, American muscle.
