    Full street fairing for my XB12R (Sharkskinz ?)

    No problem. I know that the sharkskins were molded using the original XBR upper fairing, so they are very close in tolerance and fitment. (And if I'm not mistaken, sharkskinz was the OEM manufacture of the EBR plastics, as the last time I walked though East Troy assembly there was boxes upon...

    Full street fairing for my XB12R (Sharkskinz ?)

    The "race" upper and lower fairings with the head lights were made by sharkskinz. But were kind of one-offs for Hal's Harley Davidson. (Hal's Performance Advantage Racing - Wisconsin) They may still have the molds, but I'm not sure if they will make just one set, and Hal's or what became Iron...

    EBR master cylinder?

    You hit that nail right on the head...:up: Possibly the best thing to do for a Buell or EBR is change the fluid early and often. These single large block brake calipers wreak havoc with the brake fluid. (It is why they put the air scoop on the EBRs.) There is just no place for the heat to go...

    EBR master cylinder?

    Hey Cooter, Just lurking around... Only dispensing info if I have something relevant to say. I will say this… Your pic’s confused me because I thought the left one was an axial at first. But after looking at the orientation from a handlebar perspective. I knew they were both radials. (Rod /...

    EBR master cylinder?

    I have ordered Nissin components for several bikes over the years. Typically they only have three varriant colors. I don't know if it was a production thing, or they gave me a OE bike spec'd one off of a currnet production run, but one time when I ordered Black they sent me one similar to the...

    Captain America chopper?

    I think waht he means is a comparison... Captain American Chopper = Buell No front brakes = Buell Perimeter Rotor 1951 Pan Head Motor HP = Buell Motor Hard Tail Suspension = Buell Suspension 1951 Tecnhnology = Buell they are basically the same bike...:confused:

    Finding Gold…

    I have a problem… Some might say it’s an addiction and I need an intervention… I own a cluster of Motorcycles to which the Manufactures have become defunct, caput, or ceased production runs of that model. While I know that a manufactures parts support is supposed to last up to 10 years. (Yeah...

    DIY: ZTL2 Front Brake Air Scoop

    If I’m not mistaken… The reason for the brake air duct is for cooling of the brake caliper only. The problem they had with the braking system was brake fade from the boiling of the brake fluid. This was due to the mass of the single caliper and the fact that “that mass” could not dissipate the...

    Harley v Pres

    The hand writing was on the wall with Harley-Davidson. (With all of the layoffs and consolidations that have already occurred, coupled with the tax breaks that were given.) Trump gave them an opportunity for a scapegoat. If you look at governments, when tragic news events occur, that is when...

    Erik is back in the game- Vanguardspark Motorcycles

    Great... So they will have "wooden" brakes that fade and battery technology from the 1950's just like our Buells... LOL (poke-poke):black_eyed:

    Pleeease help me decide!!!

    That is correct. In the original concept drawing, the turbo was in th location of the muffler. That is why the lower fairing has a hole towards the front center, for an air inlet. Additionally, on 2005 and earlier models only, there was a rubber boot and part called a snorkel which connected and...

    VERY RARE!!! Buell do-it-yourself Grips!!

    Cooter you should really ask alot more for this rare find... I don’t’ think everyone understands how rare these grips are… If these are truly UL 510 listed, and not a Chinese knock-off, then it is rated 600 Volts per wrap. That means, if you wrap your bars 20 times with this stuff, you can...

    Marriage proposal dilemma

    If you get her a big enough Diamond Ring she won't care when or where you propose. Did you ever ponder this... A woman who gets engaged will run up to another woman, show her the ring, and tell her she just got engaged. They will both jump up and down, laugh, cry, and be so happy together...

    Harley closing KC factory

    I’ve often pondered getting an electric bike for commuting. I live 30 miles (60 miles round trip) from work and my company offers free charging stations for electric vehicles. But to be realistic, because of the climate I live in, and the price tag associated with these bikes, it’s not really an...

    Emergency Belt Joiner

    Yea Cooter, I understand about the XB’s and maybe changing something into something it is not is not the best plan. As for me the right tool for the job was my problem with the belt drive. Ended up in the mountains of Colorado on one of my HD’s. (I have a habit of veering off course to...

    Emergency Belt Joiner

    Yes, I agree in normal road conditions a belt will last longer and will have less or no maintenance. However, I was referring to his environment (He's in New Zealand, I think.) that he is riding the bike in an area that is detrimental to the belt, and a chain conversion might be more viable...
