    How do you carry your DSLR camera on your Buell?

    we use a padded bag, then padding around it. Way too much $$ invested into our gear to end up with issues from vibrations!

    Where on earth can I get a Buell race exhaust for xb12ss?

    which one is my favorite depends on my mood. The Force system is extremely loud, fits the character of the X1 well, and makes a perfect package for when I feel like a bit of hooliganism. I love the race pipes for daily riding. The Drummer SS looks sweet and sounds sweeter- a bit louder and...

    Where on earth can I get a Buell race exhaust for xb12ss?

    incorrect. Andymnelson has 3 Buells, and the 4th pipe is on his brother's CityX. :D ....wait, does that make me a Buell hog then?

    x1 or xb?

    I own: '99 X1 '03 XB9S '06 XB12X The tubers have SO much more character. They are a hoot to ride. The XB9S is the most nimble bike I have ever ridden on the street. The Uly is the best all around bike I have ever seen- seriously does speed, handling, touring, dirt roads very well. I have no...

    Drummer SS or Jardine?

    I LOVE my Drummer SS. But yes, it is spendy. Personally, if I bought a Buell that came with the Jardine can, it would be the first thing to go. It sounds horrible to me and looks worse. Just my opinion, some would probably say the same about my Drummer SS! If I was in your shoes, I'd strongly...

    Where on earth can I get a Buell race exhaust for xb12ss?

    I've got 2 race pipes, a Force full system and an SS Drummer. You can'y have any of them :D

    80mph + on a buell

    the XBs are very sensitive to proper suspension setup because of the front rake and short wheelbase. Properly setup, speeds are no problem. another common issue: improperly torqued steering head bearing.

    Do you own a bike other than the lightning?

    Yup, a Uly :)

    Front rotor bolts

    You CAN do either....but get the updated hardware from EBR and don't look back. The stock hardware is really not intended to be reused- it loses it's shape and does not effectively allow for the rotor to "float" after reuse. Get this: http://www.ebracing.com/shop/product27.html

    how far have you gone?

    There are so many Buells in MN that I've never needed to go far. I bought my Uly from a forum member in Eau Claire, WI...about 100 miles from here, but really only because I trusted him and knew the bike would treat me well and he gave me a square deal.

    xb12scg exhaust

    hey Dean- if I could be so bold as to make a suggestion (im just a hack of a motorcycle rider!): get some kind of front mount/hanger on there. Without it, these bikes are known for snapped header studs, cracked headers, and the exhaust becoming the pole in the pole vault when it all breaks. Not...

    at home xb12r exhaust mod...

    to answer your question directly, either: a) leave the cable in, but disconnected at the muffler end, or b) remove the cable. either way, if you leave the servo in it will open and close just as it does now, not do anything because the other end isn't connected to anything, and not throw a...

    So now I'm in trouble

    We commandeered my mom's Pyrex measuring cups when we painted my first car. Hey, we needed accurate measurements when we mixed the paint! She was not happy, my dad purchased new Pyrex.

    newbie . what oil would you recommend ?

    Nonsense, I have been running standard 2050 RP in my Buells for about 5 years and a combined total of around 40,000 miles with no issues. Transmission is as smooth as can be with RP in it. That said, I switched to Mobil1 1550 syn this summer because you can buy it in a 5qt jug for $21 at...

    what would i need to make my R into S

    Just go buy an S...you'll probably spend as much money buying the parts, and then you'll have 2 bikes, lol.

    Virginal advice on buying a Lightning

    I own both, and given the choice I would buy a 9 over the the 12 any day. My reasons: 1) smoother motor 2) free-er revving motor 3) smoother power band 4) low RPM performance is much more manageable 5) in stock form, acceleration is basically identical since the 9 has 11% lower gearing in the...

    Anyone using Rizoma Track-77 LED Turn Signal?

    I put Kellerman Micro 1000s with halogen bumbs on my X1, then LED Micro 1000s on my wife's XB9S. Not the same, but I can vouch for the fantastic quality, crazy brightness (the LED are better enough to warrant the cost, IMO), and ease of replacement parts availability.
