    240 is on the list of pointless downgrades.:D

    Dumb question I'm sure

    For tall riders, the XB12Ss Lightning is more comfortable.:D

    safe redline on a healthy xb12?

    My '09 12Ss cut hard at red line. Nothing gradual about it. Full tilt boogie at 7K. 7100,throttle shut. :D

    Burnout XB12SS.

    I could never get my Burnout Risk:Reward ratio to tip in favor of doing a burnout. Risk: Serious injury or death. Reward: a cool video for youtube. :D:D

    What should the Coil Ohm out at?

    Coils should be pretty low resistance. Generally speaking it is pretty much a binary thing. It is either good (small resistance) or bad (open circuit) A dirty connector can decrease energy through the coil. But coils themselves, like a like bulb, are good or bad. The coil on my old jeep went...

    Can I reduce power?

    Just get time on it. Get used to it. Learn the bike. You will grow into it. Just give yourself the time and as was already suggested. Knuckles Up, Wrist Down. This will prevent accidental wheelies too. :D

    BUYING 1st Buell - Need some Advice! THANKS...

    6'1"? I'd advise the XB12Ss. I am 6' and loved my Ss. Medical condition pushed me to sell it. Lots of seat options too. Baldwin does a nice 2 up seat mod that will be more comfortable for you and make her feel a little safer too. See Miami's pictures He has one of the ultimate Baldwin seats.

    offical introduction? / clip-on questions

    @ Magic, for the time being, no MC. Eventually I would like to get a Victory bagger for comfy two up cruising with my wife. I could never get her to ride on the back of my Buell. That small seat just didn't do anything for her. The Victory Vision is growing on me. And being a fan if innovation...

    offical introduction? / clip-on questions

    Clips-on may look cool, but you will probably have more control with the Crossroads. The wider grip will also be more comfortable while still affording the forward riding position. I'm too fat for any forward bars :D

    best map for hawk muffler with upgrades

    My '09 relearned just fine with the K&N and Hawk. Did a dyno and the AF was dead nuts.

    Found my next motorcycle, "I'm too old/hurt/slow for Buell now" cruiser.

    HD has come a long way in reliability. One can now wear white jeans on a Harley:D The Vic has a lot of features standard that are major extras on HD. HID headlight is standard. Much longer floor boards. Higher back seat, lower front, more cargo capacity. And a bigger base motor 106 vs 96 for...

    BUELL NUMBER PLATE***( B7UEL ) finishing touch

    $2600? Just wait 10 months. When it expires someone can grab it for the regular registration cost. In the US, if a politician wants your custom tag for himself, he just has someone call and complain that they are offended by it and the registry will revoke it. Then the pol goes and takes it.

    Found my next motorcycle, "I'm too old/hurt/slow for Buell now" cruiser.

    They do look big. But owner comments are that they handle ans feel lighter than a Harley. Also, how many Harley owners have ever said they have gone cross country and back, over 8K miles, without any problems? Yes they do look a bit like something out of a Sci-Fi channel series. But isn't that...

    Found my next motorcycle, "I'm too old/hurt/slow for Buell now" cruiser.

    http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/Victory-Motorcycles/2011/Touring/Vision-Tour/Pages/Overview.aspx Kind of spacy looking. Haven't decided yet if it departs too much from the classic look. But definitely has more innovation. Watching the videos you'd swear they went to the Erik Buell school...

    The best stuff for the wheels is Zep Purple (Home Depot carries it. Degreases and cleans very easily. Just need on old tooth brush to get into the hard to reach places.
