    Why Buell stumbles (research)

    Every time I see the 'new' HD line up and get to the 'Buell copy's', 2 things go thru my mind....first BENDER...secondly A whole scenario where a certain CEO is taken out into the back of Alabama somewhere, stripped naked, put in a canoe, given a banjo, a ball gag and pushed out on a river...

    Revenge !

    I've spent 4 months on and off, sitting in the cold, in the garage, drinking coffee, chain smoking, looking at my Buell, wishing either the Ice cold or the rain would fk off. Mentally I've rebuilt it several times in several different iterations....from a standard top end rebuild thru to a 1275...

I remember trying to use my uncles train set to 'electrocute' my brother, I was trying to get him to put his tongue across the tracks but he was gun shy of electricity after the electric...

    Sad, but true.

    Facebook......TRASH! Forums have been a life line for me over the years. I remember chatroom's.....that were apparently full of predators, wife hunters...and 'special' people who lived in their parents basement. Many times I got drunk and met random people off the internet. Now....I have...

    Cost of parts/maintenance

    I believe Barrett that the link you provided is to the requirements required by USPS and the US government. The only change in mail being accepted from the USA in this country is due to COST changes by USPS that I can find or are aware of.

    Cost of parts/maintenance

    No, I don't blame the vendor. I realize reasons behind it, don't get me wrong. I have had more than one phone conversation or email with Over sea's suppliers and they all have slightly different reasons. Our borders have relaxed and are relaxing more. Even before the covid madness, getting...

    Cost of parts/maintenance

    I'm wondering how people outside of the continental US get on with finding parts, and how expensive, or cheap they find parts are. This is for a primary gasket kit, from St Paul. No problem there.....but the freight is a killer, and once converted to Kiwi dollars its $193.24! for a primary...

    For you old farts

    Here is an RE5. Belongs to a friend of mine, his father rebuilds and refurbishes old or odd bikes.....and this one is a rare oddity. And one for Barrett. KZ1300 that the same guy owns, and rebuilt.

    Buell muffler ?

    THIS INSPIRES ME.........I have the remnants of a custom 'race pipe' that came with my bike (insert straight pipes that look like mufflers).....I should tart it up and go back to pissing the neighbourhood off

    Lithium battery is great..until it gets cold..arg

    I spent the dollars and bought a DEKA. Removed the starter hesitation, and started so much easier.

    2003 xb9s lightning oil fills airbox

    If it was me with the issue you describe I would do the following. With the bike on its side stand, remove the drain bung in the swing arm, and drain the oil until it is just touching the bottom of the dip stick...which you wind in all the way btw. You could drain it all out if you...

    The Jappa in my garage.....

    I also have spent the best part of the past 2 years battling C-PTSD. Only recently have I been able to access therapy and openly talk about it after years of pharmaceutical drugs, alcohol and lots and lots of denial. This has added many many months to the build as I have seconded guessed every...

    The Jappa in my garage.....

    Here is the first test ride I did a couple of months ago. At the time the rear brakes weren't hooked up, the Handle bars were the original Suzuki 'GLP' factory set up, and the rear guards were as we purchased them. Since then I made a new 'Drag bar' type handle bar to give more leverage for the...

    2003 xb9s lightning oil fills airbox

    uuumm yeah, when I took possession of my first Buell, this exact thing happened. The air box was covered internally with oil, and the filter was soaked in engine oil. when the shop filled it with oil, he did it on a lift with the bike level.....and cold. He said he filled it to the top mark on...

    The Jappa in my garage.....

    So this Trike has taken several years. Ain't life wonderful. It is very near ready for its first official teat ride by the certifier. I have a minor issue where I used the wrong tube nuts on the brake likes and the threads bottomed out before sealing. I got brake fluid everywhere......and I...
