    To Re-Buell or Not to Re-Buell, that is not the question

    Nice! Congratulations!

    Black handle bars for buell 2010 xb12

    I just put the "phantom black" ones on my Lightning. They're like a satin (matte?) black. I got them from Saint Paul HD. They're supposed to be for the SS and SCG but they seem great and look super. I think they were under $100 including shipping.

    I hear the Siren song calling me telling me to get a buell

    55 here... My rides: Firebolt, Lightning, Ninja 636, Ninja 1000 and for days when my back needs a rest, a '19 Camaro SS. It does help to have a good chiropractor too! 😉

    Handlebar recommendation- XB12S

    Thanks lunatic - I will try this... nothing to lose! It’s really a very small amount off, so hopefully I can correct it old school. Wicked - thanks for the tip. My next block of bike time is mid next week, but I’ll post the outcome. Thank you!

    Handlebar recommendation- XB12S

    Hey Lunatic, I’m not sure if it’s the pullback or not. The right side seems just a little bit closer. You may not be able to see in the pic, but looking at where the bar is in relation to he top of the fork tubes, it is about 3-4 millimeters farther from the top of the fork tube on the right...

    Handlebar recommendation- XB12S

    Hey all, I made a “soft landing” with my Lightning yesterday due to pea gravel on a paved surface. Minimal damage to me and the bike... mostly my pride. Anyway, after much measuring, it appears that my handlebar is tweaked a few millimeters on one side. The forks/tree are fine. I’m pretty much...

    XR1200 - my next bike?

    Love the XR1200’s ... wish I had one but they’re getting a little expensive and like someone already posted, if you’re gonna spend that much on a used bike, it’s hard not to get another Buell. I saw an XR in person for the first time at a dealership when I had just bought a new Ninja 636 in...

    Looking for HID headlight guidance

    I run a DDM HID for the low beam only. It's been installed a couple of years and has continued to work through periods where my Firebolt has had starting problems, electrical issues, etc. I don't recall the exact installation procedure but it wasn't too difficult. There may be a post or two on...

    Whats the dumbest thing....

    Not as spectacular as some of you, but definitely dumb.... I had to remove the front fairing from my Firebolt to fix something and when I reassembled everything I put the front turn signals facing the rear. I didn't notice it till later that day after Id been riding around.

    first Buell.

    Shorty levers are perfect for the XBRs IMHO. I bought mine with Pazzos already on it and was gonna change them because I was used to the full length stock levers on my Ninja. After a couple of rides I decided to leave the shorties - good decision!

    Anyone in the SoCal area have EcmSpy?

    Good news then!

    Anyone in the SoCal area have EcmSpy?

    frost, I feel bad that no one has replied to your post. I'm in Southern Cal but probably not close as I live between Palm Springs and Coachella. I'm kinda the blind leading the blind... I have ECM Spy but all I know how to do is adjust the TPS and clear codes. I'm a Mac user and when I realized...

    Vinyl letters lifting

    A couple of years ago I replaced all my Firebolts plastics with carbon fiber. I finished off the air box with the aluminum tank "pad" (which ironically I'm always afraid of scuffing) with the Buell logo. Then I added the die cut vinyl lettering on both sides - a bit pricey but a great look. I...

    You Tube videos

    I just discovered You Tube videos posted by Mike Baldwin of Buellers riding Deals Gap. Very awesome videos!

    brain buckets

    I just bought a Shoei RF-1200. I forget what they call the sub model, but it's one with green graphics to match my Ninja. It was a bit expensive, but sometimes you actually get what you pay for. Prior to that my favorite helmet has been a Scorpion Exo... I think it's an Exo-500. I also have a...

    I need advice on a Buell for Buell trade.

    That trade doesn't seem like a good idea. You might end up with problems in the near future that will cost you money. There's something to be said for knowing your bike well. As the other members said, do the tail conversion. You can also get clip-ons that rise up a little more for a less...

    lights

    Cool! The first Firebolt I've heard of with an LED retrofit. I run an HID in the low beam and a halogen for the high. I rarely need to use both. If the lenses and reflectors are in good shape, the system should throw off a decent amount of light. Even before I put in the HID the lighting was way...

    A couple of issues

    Awesome - thank you guys for the pointers. I'll start out with the checks you recommend. Oh, and no I didn't set the TPS to zero - don't think the bike would even start in that case.
