    See if you can get that thing DOT approved [up]

    CUTE LITTLE BIKE!!!!! WTF!!!!!

    I 'effin love the XR1200's! Here's a pic of some dude dragging knee on one. Of course they are ridiculously sporty, lacking a rear mono-shock and all, but the look of it reminds me of a cross between a Ducati monster, and an vintage cafe-racer'd out Harley. And it sports black chrome. You...

    I beat my Lidar ticket!! You can too

    That is quite an argument. They actually set up one of those things that radars you and tells you how fast you are going in my neighborhood. I've passed it about a half-dozen times by now and it never reads my speed, it just reads and displays the speeds of the slower cars around me. It is...

    CJ Design's Parts request thread. Want it made? put it here...

    Oh CJ, I'm not totally sure what your three different designs for the tail light lens will be, and I'm not saying that I wouldn't be interested in a custom shaped one, but I don't think you could go wrong with an OEM shaped, smooth red acrylic lens. I'd buy it, and it sounds like I'm not the...

    LED turn signals

    Idk but I've got an EP-36 LED relay on mine, and my LED's flash just right. The relay is actually much louder than the stock one. It sounds like there's like a mechanical switch on a timer inside of it.

    CJ, what about the translucent undertails/undertrays? [confused]

    Renthal-ultra low road bar

    I'm I the only person on this forum that actually likes the tall, chrome, Schwinn-like stock handlebars? It seems like everyone wants to get rid of them quicker than beer becomes piss. I like how they look almost so out of place that they seem to pop. Its the only chrome that I'll allow on my...

    Custom Buell AirBox Emblems!

    Polkiejoe, I didn't know you made brushed aluminum ones. I second the request for pics.

    LED turn signals

    It should say LED on it too. You can get it at NAPA, Autozone, Pep Boys, Discount Auto, etc

    CJ Design's Parts request thread. Want it made? put it here...

    This idea is kind of stupid, but what about a full translucent side fairing kit? My buddy suggested it, and I thought it was an interesting idea. It would be like a naked/full faring bike since its see-thru.

    dave, you might be better off just tracing out the letters with a stencil, then trimming out the letters using an acrylic router bit on your dremel. It would be a lot cheaper and definitely wouldn't leave any part of your leftover airbox charred.

    Comments on dave_xb12r's list: 2) I do kind of like the angry lightning flyscreen idea. I think buellchick's windscreen is a carbon fiber extended flyscreen that slightly obscures the headlights to make them look all pissed off. Its cool. Even though I already paid for the OEM hero blue...

    TEaser thread....Iron Man headlight build.....

    No sorry. And sorry to CJdesign for the threadjacking. But at least we got him onboard to make some killer custom parts. *Fingers crossed for the undertail to priority number 1, after the ironman headlight is complete.

    TEaser thread....Iron Man headlight build.....

    Mechanical engineer working in the turbine engine industry. I do a ton of 3D CAD design work as well as FEA thermal, flow, and structural analysis. But I can't do anything successfully with my hands. I've got two old carbeurated bikes and a jet ski in my garage that haven't worked for two years.

    TEaser thread....Iron Man headlight build.....

    CJdesign RULES!!! Thanks I'm really relieved about not having to follow through on the undertail. It was a nightmare for a desk-engineer like myself. Here is the short chronicle of the failed journey. By the way, polkiejoe has found the best available color matches between the Buell...

    TEaser thread....Iron Man headlight build.....

    Almost everything under the seat mounts to a metal bracket that is secured against the side rails. The undertail is essentially unloaded, with the exception of the front seat-catch and the rear seat-latch. And some rubber washers at the mounting points of the bracket should help dampen out any...

    TEaser thread....Iron Man headlight build.....

    Well I think my point was that since there is already colored translucent airbox covers available and cheap, there probably isn't much of a market specificially for clear airbox covers. And thus the cost of making a mold and setting up a jig/tooling for finishing the part would not be...

    Dave, I'm sure you are already aware of the availability of OEM translucent airbox covers.

    TEaser thread....Iron Man headlight build.....

    CJdesign, do you think you could make a run of translucent undertails for XBS models? I've been trying to figure out how to do that for a while, but I don't have any experience or equipment. My project has run into a wall because I haven't been able to make a decent, rigid, and smooth mold of...
