    What Buell things DONT you like?

    The gear box. Always wished the bike had a 6th gear for easier highway cruising.

    evolution of this forum

    I am probably one of the outliers in the forum based on the fact that I don't physically do any maintenance to my bike aside from changing a headlight or putting gas in the tank. I am happy to pay a mechanic to do the pain in the ass work so I can just enjoy a well functioning bike. If you live...

    Hawk or Buell Racing exhaust??

    If you end up switching the exhausts post your thoughts on how the two compare. I have the race exhaust now but have always wanted to see what people think are the key differences (+'s and -'s) across that and the aftermarket drummers/hawk exhausts.

    What oh9bolt said, It pays to do a little more research on our bike and what items are out there before just buying something...

    New "ish" to the Forums

    Paint the tail section to match the rest of the bike. I know not everyone cares about that but that is the best way to show off the buell and its design IMO.

    XB12R cafe conversion

    More Pictures! I am dying to see the final product as you had planned it. I may just end up stealing your idea and converting mine to that style as well..... Also, are you planning on fabricating a seat cowl for a portion of the seat to give it that bubble back that many cafes have?

    Which seat?

    [up][up] I have the Buell Select seat. It took a couple months of patience and searching ebay/Craigslist to find one but it is extremely comfy and I like that it has the logo on the side as well as a matching rear pillion for the old lady. If you can hold out or don't find a good deal on a...

    Chicago Mods and Rockers

    You beat me to posting it Sewerman!! I was planning on posting it so the riders in the Chicago area are aware of this awesome event. But first I need to correct you in that it is not called "Motoblot" and the guys running the event getting pretty upset if you call it by the old name. It is still...

    Cool Craigslist Find. Custom XB in Chicago.

    Saw this ad on Craigslist and I have to say this is probably one of my favorite customization projects I have seen (along with the XB cafe project already on this forum.) I know everyone has different preferences but IMO this bikes takes advantage of the already futuristic styling of the bike...

    Frame Pucks… I'm sorry

    What's wrong with painting the frame pucks? How can putting paint on the outside damage their integrity? IMO the silver frame pucks look awesome and I wish I did that to my bike before putting them on.

    Primary cover shifter shaft leak question.

    I had the same issue last spring on my then, new-to-me, 2003 xb9r. I am one that usually just prefers to pay someone to deal with the hassle so I had the Harley dealership replaced all the seals and they did a dye test which would show up pretty brightly if anymore oil leaked while my bike was...

    wtb clutch cable in chicago

    I got the cable replaced by the Harley Dealer in Countryside last year and have also had service to my bike done at the dealer up in Glenview this year. I prefer the Glenview location as the guys there genuinely like Buells and when I picked up my bike two weeks ago multiple guys asked to ride...

    Buell Saddlebags/Trunk Bag FS

    How much are you thinking for the bags? I don't really need them but for the right price I wouldn't mind having them around as an option when I do short trips.

    just a few questions from a noob

    The ECM is behind your front fairing. You will need to take off the mirrors, blinkers, and screw out the lowest two bolts for whatever windscreen you currently have on the bike. Once that it is off it should be very easy to spot in front of the handle bars. As for the second part of your...

    I smell like an motor

    I understand you point jetlee and I was being somewhat cheeky on the comment. I am a professional as well and I work for one of the largest accounting firms in the world. I am usually dealing management including CFO's/CEO/Controllers from time to time. I have never had a comment from either the...

    I smell like an motor

    What's wrong with smelling like gas/a motor? that is one of reasons I love my bike and all my buddies comment about how good it smells when I start it up in the garage (with the door already open). I am sure I smell like the bike a little bit after riding but that has never been an issue for me...

    Would this work....

    I agree with 50dro. I bought the EP35 unit for my LED blinkers from autozone and it took me all of 5 minutes to switch it with the old one. For $11 vs. the DIY instructions, the time and hassle savings I got from just buying that unit was well worth the money.

    Difference between 2003 and newer firebolt seats?

    Bump. Was my question so stupid that it doesn't warrant a response? If so, sorry about that.

    Difference between 2003 and newer firebolt seats?

    Hey guys, I am looking to get a different seat for my bike (2003 xb9r) and wanted to see if there was a difference in the seat set-up between the model years. I have seen some seats on ebay that state for 2004-2008 so I didn't know if there was a specific reason for the seller mentioning those...
