    Need advice on a LED light kit

    I always wondered if they use some kind magnet systems mounted on the inside of the fork with coil stickers (like those tattle tags they use for security in the retail stores)only wired and attached to mini LED's if there could be some kind of powered light motion wheel set up that way. Like a...

    UPDATED List of Buell Service Manuals For Sale.

    Are the parts catalogs (i'd be looking for an 06 bolt) just for body parts and accessories or are they the parts catalogs that give you that internal parts numbers and diagrams for things like fasteners, cables, etc. like the dealers get. Maybe if I went into the local hd dealer with a diagram...

    EarthQuake

    I didn't feel it in the Bronx, NY. Some people here felt it. Others didn't. I noticed the people with their @$$ usually glued to a seat are the ones that said they felt it. The rest of us were too busy working to feel it. They evac'd a few midtown buildings and a few people lost cell reception.

    Making of PREDATOR Helmet

    When I read the title, I was expecting the silver mask the predator wore in the first one or second one and thought, that would really be cool on a modular flip down. This looks good. What are you using for the extra material, Bondo? Are you worried about the added weight?

    Chicks dig roadrash!!!

    Gotta love how he dressed for the occasion too. Camera, Check! Cool video intro with music and graffiti, Check! Friends riding along to film you doing illegal stunting on a packed public highway, Check! Gear? ummm... shorts and a t-shirt should be good enough. Good thing he needed a helmet for...

    Has anyone painted there own helmet?

    Thanks, I like to be more visible at night and for the cost of a package of vinyl, I still got off about $220 cheaper than they wanted to charge me for the paint job. The paint would have cost more than the helmet. For the combined price I could have just went for the Shoei that was out of my...

    Has anyone painted there own helmet?

    Not sure what the effect of the paint is on helmet material as far as structural integrity, but I wouldn't think it would be a big deal. I was going to get mine airbrushed at first but the price I was quoted was real expensive with air brushing, clear coat. They included prep, which I think was...

    a tip for a trip

    Newb saying whats up...also where would you CF on a red xb?

    I'd go with the CF frame covers, if you want to put CF on the bike. Not a big change. Gives you some carbon fiber without toning down the red. If you go with a darker color it might make the red pop even more.

    my girl rides a cruser ;( ..what to do?

    The bikes not all that bad, man. A little bulky for my taste. Completely different from what I pictured. Black out the tires, scrap the windshield, lower the seat, ditch half the luggage and Open the pipes a little and it will get some attention. I told my uncle I would do that with his shadow...

    Real dumb question

    You can find em on ebay from time to time. Like this one. Theres only a few tools that are specific to certain models. If not, you can make your own like I did; check this thread, I listed the contents from the catalog.

    my girl rides a cruser ;( ..what to do?

    Sounds sneaky and underhanded, but if you trust her with your bike.. switch bikes for a little while and get her on the buell and take her to places you know the buell will handle better. Might be hard to get her to switch back eventually. You're on your own there. The only thing it costs you...

    New Buell Fell Apart

    Sounds to me like the first problem caused the rest. The clamp snaps and your exhaust is vibrating more as you crank it down the road full bore. With probably weakened the connection between it and the chin spoiler. (either working the bolts loose or weakening the mounts as the spolier is taking...

    exhaust and k&n q

    You can tell the difference between the ECM's by looking at them. The race ECM will have "Race Use Only" printed on it.(on the firebolt its under the front fairing, on the lightning, its under the seat) If it's a race ecm, chances are its was made for the Buell® Motorcycle Co. P&A...

    exhaust and k&n q

    What ecm/map are you using now? If it's a stock ecm with a stock map, you should Tune or at least burn the race map to it. If its a race ecm or a stock ecm with race map burned onto it, it should be closer... but I would think it's better to tune to get your maps to match your set up.

    Why did they design it to run so hot?

    As crxtasy alludes to above... it's not a straight port over of a sportster engine. It's been engineered for better performance. The wider frame, tightly packed components make things like the fan necessary to draw heat away from the engine. Change part of the system for a performance upgrade if...

    Met up with J_Undisputed and had a garage day

    No problem, Dynasty. Glad I could help out. Looking out for each other is what the Buell Community (that i've seen on this board, anyway) is about. I learned alot from the guys here over the last year, directly and indirectly. I don't think we, as buellers, would be around to see the phoenix...

    Any other Buellers with bad backs?

    I was at work moving computer boxes 10 yrs ago instead waiting for the right people to move them, I felt something pop in my lower back and since then... (never saw a doc)If I do too much heavy lifting, stooping or don't get enough sleep I'll eventually be unable to stand when I get up in the...
