    Convert a Firebolt Front to a Lighting Front

    why? I ride my 12r in the City( well as city as Cocoa Beach/Melbourne area is) although i do like the idea of the hand guards and lights the follow the front wheel.

    Speedo Background

    i like the lay out of the original speedo, but has anyone tried changing the color of the backlights? I want to see about flipping them to Red or Blue from the white

    Handlebar vibrations

    i dont agree on the holding on too tight, once i get to speed, i pretty much just rest my hand on the grip and it still gets tingly. But i will try the repositionsning the levers trick and see if that helps any.

    Buell Top Speed :-)

    years ago i used to work on airplanes, and i find the sticker comment funny. some of the plane designers came up with small stick on vortex generators, which acually disrupted the airflow and gave you an extra few knots of air speed. I say stickers, but i think they were actually stuck inplace...

    Buell Top Speed :-)

    i must be getting old, that high speed flying low stuff just doenst hold my interest anymore. I am happy putting along at around highway speeds (+ 5-10) I just cant see the need(desire) to do 130+ on a bike with a 52 inch wheelbase. Maybe on a custom bike with a L-O-N-G wheelbase it would be...

    Fuel Light XB12S

    i just managed 56 mpg riding my 12r around town. Lots of stop and go but also some highway been running 91 or 93 octane depending on the station i stop at. I have been averaging about 2.6 gal per fill up and about 12-15 miles once the reserve trip meter comes on. I am sure i could go...

    Handlebar vibrations

    tried the Joe Rocket gel gloves, they were more uncomfortable than the vibration, so i took them back. Im gonna see about the other grips. I know its a harley engine, but the vibration seems worse on the right hand than the left. and mostly at around 3k rpm. since im not planning on trying to...

    e85 ethanol conversion?

    e85 gets much worse mileage than regular gas, we have a Chevy Tahoe here at work and have dropped from about 16-18 mpg to 10-12mpg. Granted we have a fuel card, so we dont check real close, but the one time i did our mileage was terrible. on the plus side the octane rating is something like 103+...

    Handlebar vibrations

    any suggestions on the gel grips? and my cruising rpm's at highway speed is someplace around 2500-3500 rpm. Any faster than 80ish and the bike seems too light to hold a straight course on I-95 but then it might be the 25+ mph cross winds we have had in florida these past few weeks

    Handlebar vibrations

    I have noticed that at highway speeds, the vibration of the bars (especially the throttle) is such that my hand gets that feeling like it has fallen asleep. I havent really noticed this at less than 60 mph mostly just above 70. I havent noticed any excessive vibrations or shaking other than the...

    Hot Seat

    I have noticed the seat on my 05 firebolt is getting rather warm while running at highway speeds, is this normal? I got the bike as a repo ($5700 with 2700 miles on it) but just started riding it recently. I dont notice the heat unless i am going at least 70mph. I had the local dealer check it...
