    "Parade mode"/Overheat issue? Low power, feels like missing

    What would you expect to pay for this work from either an all-makes shop (who may not know what they've let themselves in for, but would probably google and find youtube clips) or at a HD dealership (who probably have forgotten about Buells in the main)? I have DIYd plenty of things in my day...

    "Parade mode"/Overheat issue? Low power, feels like missing

    yeah, i've definitely beaten it way harder in way hotter weather, this is something new and I think unlikely to be related to heat.

    "Parade mode"/Overheat issue? Low power, feels like missing

    First things first, be gentle with me as I have never done meaningful troubleshooting on an EFI vehicle of any kind. I have a Buelltooth on the way, but don't have it yet, so I can't do anything vis-a-vis looking inside the ECM (yet. I will update as I can learn more). Bike description: 2006...

    Cherry Bomb Airbox Cover

    wow, so SPHD is just flat out of parts? jeez, maybe i better order some blue stuff. Pretty sure my bike was originally blue (it's an 06 and i don't think cherry bomb was available then, plus it has blue gauge faces and a blue cheese grater on the rear mudguard) and i had toyed with the idea of...

    Cherry Bomb Airbox Cover

    1. St Paul had the cityX style a few months ago when I checked, but I wanted one without the X so i found a crashed-but-good one on ebay (rear holes cracked) that I am going to reglass (it's hidden under the seat anyway). 2. i have one with both front holes cracked out and subpar...

    Thinking of selling...what's the market like?

    i paid 2700 for my 9 with nowhere near as many nice parts/mods/sound work done, sounds like a good price

    Things to check post-crash

    I had a crash 2 saturdays ago when a mail truck i was overtaking turned left as i was passing on the left. Long story short, I (my body) hit the outrigger mirrors on the front corner of the truck (and only that bit of the truck, thank god) as I sneaked in front of him rather than hitting him...

    Is this the right forum for a crash story? Both I and the bike are mostly OK FWIW

    Before I wade in (with the intent mainly of just telling the story and also maybe warning people about Postal vehicles) is this the place?

    how can you determine what plastics an XB had originally?

    I know from searching that the VIN won't tell you what color plastics came on your bike originally. I *think* mine [totally a bitsa from previous owners] may have been Hero Blue. I want cherry bomb, which is what i found when i scratched the flat black that was on my bike when I bought it, but...

    Fitting an EBR Air Box Cover to a Buell XB

    TPEHAK takes some flak around here (in my limited experience) (sometimes for good reason) but this is awesome and it's cool to see yall givin him props where it's due. now then, i'm dying for a cherry bomb, no-cityX-X airbox cover and they seem almost impossible to find (only one i've found is...

    Sticker/badge/decal placement question

    TPEHAK, that actually helps, thanks! I eyeballed the flyscreen badge based on google images results and it looks ok. Having new plastic on there makes the rest of the plastic look like arse, by the way...

    Sticker/badge/decal placement question

    my entire bike was debadged by one of its previous owners and the cherry bomb plastics painted black. so no go there :( even took the sticker off the handlebar clamp (why?) someone at some point put a giant pegasus on the tank with what looks like contact paper or vinyl or something (because...

    Sticker/badge/decal placement question

    I didn't buy the decals not to put them on :confused: I can't work with 3d models, thanks.

    Sticker/badge/decal placement question

    I 'treated myself' and got a new flyscreen, and I may have a line on a used cherry bomb airbox cover that's in better shape than the cracked one I currently have. The flyscreen comes with a sticker/badge/decal unattached, and I also ordered tank "Buell" letters. Can anyone give me rough...

    I'll park it. thanks, guys.

    Broke an exhaust retaining strap - safe to ride?

    I was headed up a road that google maps suggested had some good corners on it, and there was an unmarked speed bump on it (same color as road, no sign, etc) and i ended up hitting it far too fast (didn't even see it, didn't even try to brake). Launched my butt out of the seat a bit, feet stayed...

    Front Brake Pulse

    i too have a pulsing front brake and am watching this thread with interest. Leaky, tell us how great your new rotor is when you get it, in the meantime i guess i'll try to do the due diligence to check mine over. Mine is either getting better over time or i'm getting used to it (probably the...

    Removing "X" from xbsx airbox cover

    I think there's a thread about this that I read in the past and i just can. not. find. it. I discovered my bike had a cherry bomb airbox and flyscreen painted black by PO and stripped the paint off it and sanded it with middling results, but now the front two bolt holes are cracking more and...

    Modified seat is just about ready to get covered

    Curious how tall you are/inseam length. People warned me I wouldn't fit on the bike at 6'1 (32 in inseam) but i have loads of room before i get near to the flare of the frame. Where did you/will you source your foam? I have an RD350 project i'd like to try to make a slopeback (all foam) seat...
