    Greetings from Barcelona. Introduction & 1st question

    Why don’t you try Twin Motorcycles or contacting Sebring, I believe they are out of Australia. So basically are you looking for (EU) road legal documentation? Depending on model and I don’t know for sure but if it’s for off road use only then you may now get what you’re looking for. I have a GPR...

    2007 XB12SST GOOD spark plugs

    Here is my $.02. I’ve experimented with OEM HD plugs, HD Gold plugs, HD platinum plugs, NGK iridium 8’s & NGK 9’s. All of the HD plugs came gapped at .035 and worked ok. The NGK’s have generally come gapped at about .030. I’ve installed both sets of NGK’s with the stock gap and the spec gap of...

    XB misfire at constant RPM cruising (~3500 RPM).

    An erratic tach is also a sign of a failing CPS. May not be your issue at all, just throwing it out there but then again your bike would most likely display these signs of hesitation and misfiring or maybe not...probably just a bad connection like Cooter said.

    2008 XB12-SCG Thinking of Selling

    That is such a nice bike! What is that though, over $600 in labor on the maintenance besides 3.5 quarts of oil and a filter? Guy took you to the cleaners but that bike should be gone fast if it isn't already, you get so much bike for the money so in a way on the buyer's side it's nice they don't...

    No start after rain

    Hopefully Lunatic will have you up and running ASAP but you couldn’t be in better hands. Until he comes back and saves the day let me see if I can help at all. Wet equals corrosion, rust and worst of all shorts. Did you check your fuses visually or with a meter? I know it’s pretty obvious...

    Oil Light constant on after Primary and Main Oil change.

    ^^^^+1 Fixing the issue was never gonna be the problem, like I said these guys know there stuff. Of course you were gonna get a little flak even if you were the smartest guy on here lol Glad you were able to figure it out and pending everything has been re-installed correctly that 5 miles with...

    chain conversion kit

    You’ll probably just want to ask NHRS or Hammer Performance for advice with your engine build, they will help put one together for you and or at least let you know what your best options are. I can’t remember where I saw a chain conversion kit for XB’s recently, think it was a European( not 100%...

    2009 XB12 Long won't start

    If I were you I would watch a quick video on how to use a multi meter when checking for DC voltage or one of us can walk you through it. You can buy a selectable not auto range meter ( selectable has the dial with multiple choices and is cheaper) they are like $15 for a decent one from Lowe’s or...

    Engine build

    That’s awesome, I feel like I hear better results with the 9 beefed up rather than the 12, of course this is only my personal findings and not fact so excuse me if the statement comes off ignorant. I’d love to see a video and hear it if you ever get the chance, even though videos usually don’t...

    Engine build

    How does it ride, is it "streetable" ? Would or could you say it is comparable to a 12 with the money spent or do you prefer the stroke or engine of a 984 built? Meaning you probably could have sold the 9 and got a 12 with the extra mod money, I think. Just curious, I feel after everything I've...

    Oil Light constant on after Primary and Main Oil change.

    LMAO...tears in my eyes, like i said well deserved crap but in all seriousness listen to Cooter, hopefully you haven't done any or serious engine damage.

    Oil Light constant on after Primary and Main Oil change.

    What have you done to that poor bike? I’m a little confused as to where your expertise lie with this bike. Please don’t take this the wrong way and you’ll get all the help you need with a little well deserved crap lol but you’ve leaned the crap out of your bike and feel it’s a simple solution...

    Something for the garage wall

    That’s awesome and the more time that passes the rarer Buell becomes...I think �� but I think Cooter has the right idea on location, then you can slap The flying Unicorn up next to it when you make that one

    Commuter Buells

    I also just carry a backpack on my 12r along with what I need for the trip and or destination but if I had bags I would absolutely carry Rain gear. Even if only some Frogg Toggs, lightweight and doesn’t take up much space.
