    D&D Exhaust

    Any interest in this? I just replaced it with a stock exhaust. It was just too loud for me and my neighbors. I have the rear mounting bracket and clamps. There is no front bracket necessary. It just has a beefy tab the bolts directly to the engine bushings. A little dirty but in excellent shape...

    Race Buell Improvement Thread

    I've got both peg mounts from my Lightening that are just gathering dust. I put some Uly foot peg brackets on because they are a lot lower which my replacement knees really like(Thanks 34nineteen). Don't have the foot pegs. The mounting flange is wider than the Uly so I think your race pegs...

    Soft front brake

    I rebuilt the front master cylinder. Bled it quite a bit. No air bubbles coming out at caliper. Still have a very soft lever, comes almost back to the grip. This bike sat for a long time kind of a barn find that was brought back to life. I'm thinking I might have some frozen pistons in the...

    Lower is Better?

    Good news. Now, who's got an XT shock? I looked at St Paul HD but didn't see anything there. eBay? There is not any shocks listed explicitly for Uly XT. Can you do without the remote ride height? What is the over all length? Does the color of the spring indicate what the spring rate is?

    Lower is Better?

    I just bought a 2006 XB12X that is turning out to be too tall for me. I'm quite anxious when coming to a stop as I can only get 1 foot down. I'm thinking I can raise the front forks in the triple clamps(not positive). Is there a different shock I can use for the rear? I know the XT had a lower...

    Side stand

    Good idea on the studs. Looks like I'll have take the muffler off to get decent access to the bolts. Just discovered today that my new to me Uly has a race ECM. In the parts box that came with the bike was a Drummer modified stock muffler. Had zero packing left in it. Not sure what to stuff it...

    Side stand

    There is a fair amount of play where the pivot pin goes through the bracket that bolts to the bottom of the engine. Makes for sloppy swing out. Doesn't go all the way to full extension unless I use my foot for the last few inches. I'm thinking that hole for the pin is now egg shaped. Tried to...

    Side stand

    Just got a 2006 XB12X. Boy, it is tall. A lot taller than my XB9S. I have to stand on the left side foot peg to get my grumpy old legs over the seat. I had to replace both knees a few years ago so my range of motion isn't what it used to be. What I'm wondering is how stout the mounting bracket...

    Fork Seals

    Time to do the seals. Who is the go to guy to get the right stuff right the first time? I'm a newbie still trying to get an idea who the good venders are.

    Just ordered a set. Yet again, Thanks Barrett

    Exhaust Stud Broken

    That part number didn't work on their website. Couldn't find any relevant listings for studs. Oh well, good excuse for ride to dealer.

    Exhaust Stud Broken

    Thanks Barrett. It's a 65 mile ride to the Harley dealer but it's a great road to get there. I'm a long ways from nothing.

    Exhaust Stud Broken

    On the front head the top stud broke off flush with cyl head. At least it's sort of accessible. I was looking Summit Racing for replacement studs was somewhat baffled as to the size and thread pitch that I'll need. If worse comes to worse is there enough extra metal in the head to go up one size...

    Torque Wrenches and Actual Torque Applied

    Thanks for the heads up. I'm very familiar with various types of liquid thread lockers. I retired a few years ago from being a shop owner for 35 years. Any questions about Japanese trucks or SUV's just fire away.

    Torque Wrenches and Actual Torque Applied

    Pardon my ignorance but what is SM specs and A/M thread locker? Loctite? All these abbreviations leave me baffled.

    Torque Wrenches and Actual Torque Applied

    So, I'm assuming that all the torque listings in the shop manual for my Buell is for dry threads. I was shocked at the results for using Anti-Seize.

    Fork rebuild parts for 06 Uly

    I had a leaky seal on my XB9s. I was dreading the rebuild process. I bought this tool where you pry down on the dust wiper to get to the actual seal. You slip this tool between the seal and stanchion and rotate it around a couple of times. The thought is that it's not so much that the seal is...

    How Hard Is It?

    For many years my daily driver was a Ford Cobra replica. 18 years and a 160k miles. All time conversation starter everywhere you go. I'm just done with that. I've become a curmudgeon in my old age. I would rather fly under the radar. Buell engineering and design is for me the epitome of what a...

    How Hard Is It?

    I want a blank air box cover. How would you remove the big "BUELL" lettering? Heat gun? Or? Where I live I'm so tired of explaining what a Buell is. I just want to say it's a hot rod Harley because that's the only thing that gets through to all the Harley Cruiser guys. A sport bike of any kind...
