    Thoughts on the FZ8?

    I'm in a very similar boat with my commute, which is 95% of my riding mileage. I wouldn't mind a liquid cooled street bike if it comapared favorably to my XB12s. I've never ridden an FZ8, but I do think they're cool looking bikes. They'll rev high, which seems like something you might like...

    What tires?

    I guess I got into the habit of referring to the Pilot Road 2 as a "2CT" because it's on their website as a marketing plash: Michelin Pilot Road 2(2CT)

    Are stock XB9s dogs?

    I think it's safe to say, having read all this, that the XB9 is not a "dog" by any stretch. If it is running like a "dog", they're is probably something mechanically wrong.

    What tires?

    I use Pilot Road 2CT, which is a sport touring tire. I'm not doing heavy sport riding, but I like to go for a spirited ride on occasion and I do a lot of commuting. The mileage and wet grip with these tires made it worth my while to go with a sport tourer instead of a pure sport tire like the...

    Are stock XB9s dogs?

    Sometimes, for me at least, if I can't experience it myself it helps to see something that quantifies it so I have a frame of reference. Here is an exhaust comparison that does just that: Buell XB and 1125 Exhaust Shootout Results This will show you exactly how much power an XB9 has, which...

    Zero Gravity Touring windscreen question

    that's weird. I wonder why that would happen.

    Zero Gravity Touring windscreen question

    I'm seriously thinking about getting the touring windscreen. My only problem is that My XB is Thrust Blue (the old, solid blue) and ZG doesn't make a windscreen that matches up. I'm considering getting the translucent amber, which would match the amber rims and levers. My question is this...

    What grade of gas should I put in my bike?

    air cooled engines can run very hot (and the tendency to cool unevenly, leaving hotspots in the cylinder walls at combustion chamber), which can cause pinging and knocking (which can damage your engine). Higher grade/octane fuels mitigate knocking. It's pretty simple: use the high octane gas...

    Worst Day Ever What should i do

    I use Flickr to host my pics. They scale them down to smaller sizes automatically. Getting the links for them is a little bit of a pain though. I'm sure there are other websites out there that will host your pics and scale them down for you.

    Buell Mileage questions

    What he said ^^^. If you figure that a top end rebuild will cost you about $700+ parts from a place like NRHS, you want to factor that into talking the price down. Of course there's going to be wear and tare on other stuff like brakes, wheel bearings, sensors, etc. But you can address just...

    Buell Mileage questions

    It's all about the kind of miles, how hard it was ridden, and how well it was maintained. Really, 20,000 miles isn't that much if treat it right and don't ride like your at Leguna Seca EVERY time you're on it (which is hard, it's really fun to just go crazy on it). 20,000 highway miles is...

    Why did you buy your Buell?

    I was a H-D rider. I rode a 93' XL883 that was bored out to 1200, worked heads, SE ignition, 2 - 1 exhaust etc. I bobbed it, then put the mid controls on with a set of 1200R bars. I was about to look into converting it to a cafe to try to make it more of a "rider's" bike, but realized that...

    Disillusioned with the XB *venting-warning long*

    Wipe your chin and get movin'! That's the ticket right there. $5200 is a nice price too.
