    6 Axis ABS + XB12?

    Reread this thread and Cooter mentioned “when abs is mandatory for all bikes” if that happens like India did in 2017 iirc the new Buell will have to step up or quit. So maybe if we keep riding ten more years the stuff will be available to retrofit abs to all XB’s

    Welding machines

    Well those of us who weld could use my misfortune for their benefit. I have 2 Lincoln 210MP welders at my shop one set up for carbon steel and the other for stainless and aluminum. The first design had problems with the board and was warranty repaired in the first year the second I bought to use...

    Redneck Blast

    Well I bought a new one (project that is) a Redneck blast with the new title as an 06 special construction. When I figure out how to post a pic again I will start the project Mike Lowery is donating a big bore jug to the cause. I haven’t decided on what primary yet. XB9 with XB wheels and...

    What goes around comes around

    Congratulations I saw those for sale. What a great deal and the wrap was the right choice unwrapping is WAY easier than unpainting if you want to change it up.

    BUELL XB All Years Models L1501.02A8 NEW Front Engine Isolator mounting Bracket

    I would like the old ones that are being replaced to install new bushings in them. They do have to be the second design though. I have several of the earlier ones and the hole is oblong and no steel between the rubber and aluminum.

    6 Axis ABS + XB12?

    I agree that it would cost too much to specifically make a kit for these obsolete bikes. My thought was if the new Buell models were to come with it those parts Might be an upgrade option. But I don’t think it will happen.

    6 Axis ABS + XB12?

    Well maybe if they use the bearings with tone rings/encoders and did not have to redesign the wheels a kit could be as low a a grand. Honda has ABS on $5000 new bikes as standard equipment (CB300) Biggest problem for a kit would be the legal requirements

    6 Axis ABS + XB12?

    There’s only a few ABS systems made for bikes manufacturers of the bike don’t make the actual system. It’s possible to retrofit a system from a donor bike. But the calibration of the system could be a bit complicated. Maybe not if you found a donor that ran the same size tires and the same...

    Sorry for the delay in responding. I have a few ready to ship. What year is your XB ? Do you have the second design or the first? The first is not rebuildable with the bushings I make.

    Front Brake Master Cylinder

    A syringe style bleeder is a little easier than pulling the caliper. Cooter’s right about stubborn systems reverse bleeding saves a lot of time. The syringe bleeder has a rubber tip and just remove the bleeder screw completely and fill it with fresh fluid from the master cylinder (so you don’t...

    Buells are terrible first bikes.

    I took 16 years off from riding motorcycles when I had my daughter. I was half crazy and the other half stupid and fearless. I knew I was going to get myself hurt and not be able to provide as I should. When she was a junior in high school and going full time to college classes I got a Blast to...
