Belt guard removal
If I remember correctly, early in the XB's life, both the frame and swingarm were cast by Brembo; Buell eventually took over that process and is having it cast elsewhere now.- Bill

Fort Bragg, NC
I highly recommend Carolina Coast HD in Wilmington, but it is a bit of a drive. Ray Price in Raleigh is closer, but not as good of a shop. The other good thing about Carolina Coast is once your get to Wilmington, it's not too hard to get to the beach. Not a bad way to spend the time while... -

Bike won't start
It is 13.4 before hitting the start button - after it drops to 6.5 (under load), then pops back up to it's original voltage after I release the start button.- Bill

Bike won't start
OK, here's the gig - I have an '04 XB-12R, factory race ECM and pipe. When I try to start it, all that happens is a loud clicking sound - the enginge doesn't turn over, and the dash resets itself (clock, trip odometers reset, almost like the battery was disconnected). The battery is pretty...- Bill

Does anyone read Motorcycle Magazines?
Roadracing World and Roadracer X - between the two, they cover just about anything in racing. -

jack stands
The Lockhart-Phillips ones work just fine, and can do it without the spools (that our Buells aren't threaded for anyway).- Bill

Hidden Licence plates?
Back when I raced cars, I would rig my plate with a solenoid that would fold it down at the touch of a button - the same could work for a bike. All you would need to do is mount the plate on a hinge, attach a solenoid and a two-position switch and wire it all to the battery. -

Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap
It's only a few hours from here (FT Bragg, NC) - a buddy of mine (on an FZ1) go out there a few times a year. There really is nothing else like it - the Dragon itself is amazing, but there are over 300 miles of good roads surrounding it also. We'll head out for a weekend, do the Dragon a few... -

Front forks dive
It is really difficult (but not impossible) to do it without the fork spring compression tool.- Bill

Hey FIDOSOL......Check this out!
They do the same at Fort Leonard Wood (I had the unfortunate opportunity to go there for a bit). You can argue with the gate guards all you want, but you still can't get on post without the extra belt. Someday I just want to see the statistics that our power ranger belts somehow save lives... -

cold weather
For that bit of riding, I use the Teknic Thunders - they're good all the time to about 40 degrees, and for short stints below that. For anything colder or longer, though, I recommend electric stuff, like Gerbings or Witter.- Bill

battery going dead fast
The same thing was happening to mine (04XB12R) - the dealership ended up putting a new stator in it (under warrantee, luckily).- Bill
