    Front axle install question

    Kona, I think that is what he means, I agree, that is normal. The left fork leg does not have to come in contact with the bearing. The larger part of the axle itself does that on it's own. Basically, it's only the pinch fasteners that attach the left fork leg to the axle, otherwise, it if...

    Another Electrical Issue

    Haha, yeah, I didn't think it would be that strong of an insulator. It sure does look good though. I'll have to throw some before, during and after pics up at some point...

    Another Electrical Issue

    Thanks for the help Kona. I re-sanded the tail rail and still had no result, so I decided to run some 10 guage wire from the that ground location, directly to the frame where the main ground is, and everything is now sorted out. When I am a little less itching to get out and ride, I will...

    Another Electrical Issue

    That could be an issue. I don't think I cleaned off the section that actually bolts to the frame. I will do that tonight. Tie bar is solid, no color applied there, but I will pull it and clean it regardless. Thanks for the suggestions. Would it be the same thinking for the head light...

    Another Electrical Issue

    So I stripped the bike down for some paint and powder coat this winter. Got it all back together and was going to try to fire it up last night. I turned the key, and didn't pay much attentions to the gauges, so I'm not sure if I got the sweep or any of the usual lights. I hitch the kill...

    Valve Stem Core

    Cool, just wanted to make sure. I had my tires removed at a shop so I could take them for powder coating, and I am bringing them back today and I noticed that the cores were gone. I just wanted to make sure my my would likely have what he needed to get my new rubber put on. Thanks guys.

    Valve Stem Core

    Hey all, I know our valve stems are unusual at 8.3mm, but are the cores pretty much generic (i.e. could I find a core locally with relative ease)?

    I need new handlebars

    They will fit not problem. Pretty much any 7/8 bar will fit not problem, unless you get clubmans (that go down and around the headlight housing instead of up), or ape hangers, which I don't think is the look you are going for, lol. If you have no experience with this, and you aren't very...

    I need new handlebars

    Oh, and clubmans would put you in a much more aggressive position, and may require some alteration to your clutch cable routing.

    I need new handlebars

    What riding position do you want? Same as stock? There are a milion option, as any 7/8 bar will fit. Most use motocross bars such as renthal or protaper. They are available in different heights, but most will be lower than stock. If you look for steel 7/8 handlebars on ebay, there are lots...

    Sweet Concept XB

    It looks more like a Kawi Z1000 than a buell... or now that I look closer, like the Z1000 and an XB had a baby.

    Best place to order new gasket set? 04 xb12s

    I just ordered mine from ASB (American sportbike). They weren't expensive.

    New hardwares if I want to powder coat the rims

    Hey all, if I want to strip my rims to get them powder coated, do I need to new hardware for the rotors and the pulley?

    Fork disassemble/powder coat question

    Yeah, pretty much just masking tape like any other part you don't want coated (threads, etc).

    States You Rode Your Bike In

    NY, VT, NH, and ME. Not too bad for a Canadian! I really want to get to the north and south western states at some point too (The Dakotas, Arizona, New Mexico California, wherever else I can really).
