    Do you have the PVC valves from the top of the motor?

    Intake - go custom or stay stock

    My only complaint about the filter(and I know OP hasn't come back since posting, more of just a general comment) is the stupid bolts that are jammed in there. I know the bolt pattern is determined by the carb, not the intake, but one of the bolts on mine is slightly stripped and due to the curve...

    EBR Black Lightning

    That would have to be a serious pothole for your front tire to sink so far that the oil cooler would drag on the ground on it's way into it. You're best just to swerve around those. The only time I really picture it being some kind of issue is if you try to ride off of a sidewalk or go over a...

    new guy

    Welcome!(I know... I'm a little late...). I've got a 97 S1 and am down in Pittsburgh. Been a while since I've been up your way. Hope you got in some nice rides before this weather got here.

    Did you tell them the right part and they ordered the wrong one, or did you give them the wrong part number? special order or not, if they screwed up, they need to take the part back. Great looking bike!

    Almost Buell rider, still on the hunt..

    Great looking bike! is it shaft driven? You did a good job of keeping that suspension intact while keeping the back end looking really clean. I've been looking through xs650 builds a lot lately and as nice as some of them look, I've noticed how hard it is to keep the right proportions on a bike...

    EBR Black Lightning

    I used to have a yz426 supermoto, and I'll never get joy out of a regular suspension again.... long travel suspension is amazing. I had always ridden sportbikes before that and my rides involved seeking out the smoothest roads possible. Once I got the YZ I use to have the most fun on gravel...

    next new bike. EBR? nope. tuono? nope. or s1000r? nope, not that either.

    Never ridden a blast but I did also used to have an old gs500. That was always a fun bike, and I'm sure the power is pretty comparable to the black or the R3. The R3 probably rides a lot better than the GS500 did though.

    EBR Black Lightning

    The XB9 I used to have started life as an XB9SL. Although I'm sure the height would be great on my normal commute to work, I swapped it out for the normal suspension because I just couldn't get used to a bike that low. The low suspension was so rough. There's a slightly bumpy part of highway...

    "you started this thread looking at real bikes and you bought a toy...just a waste of time and a thread. " Tough crowd! Sorry you upset somebody by not having the money to buy the bike they wanted... haha. People acting like you can't have fun on a bike under 1000cc just because they need one...

    No,no, no, sh!+

    I like that! what holds it to the lever mount so it doesn't just pop out of the top of the hole?

    No,no, no, sh!+

    I haven't had the Buell fall over yet, I always leaving it idling on the sidestand when i'm putting on my helmet/jacket/gloves but I make sure it's at least on flat ground. When I was new to riding I was visiting a friend about an hour away, had my bike in their driveway and due to the angle...

    BIG Press Release!

    I have not. There isn't a dealer for hours from where I live. If one ever pops up closer I'll be sure to keep an eye out for Demo Days. I'm sure I'd thoroughly enjoy it, I'm purely going off of all the reviews I've seen/read that talk about it really being a sportbike motor with most of the...

    BIG Press Release!

    That's very true. Before I got the xb with the belt, I've always dropped the hearing on all of my bikes a few teeth. I bet that would make an already fast 1190 just crazy to ride. Agreed about the benefits of a hot engine on cold days! I've thawed out plenty of numb fingers on engine cases...

    BIG Press Release!

    There's a few, but the one thing you're guaranteed to get is a girl with some real legs. Agreed bicycles are by far the quickest way to get anywhere in the city. One of the main reasons I sold my xb was because I got tired of sitting on an air cooled paint shaker at redlights and in traffic...

    Ever happen to you?

    An 03 9sl was my first buell. The suspension is definitely rough. For most situations it was fine, but I remember most notably the part of the highway leaving town had some rough pavement and for about 2 minutes you felt like you were riding a bull. I eventually swapped the low suspension for...

    1999 Buell Lightning: Parting Most of it Out

    Thanks for the heads up, I just got a bunch of emails from the forum yelling at me for the full inbox haha. I cleared it out. ....and I'm not sure what type of shifter a sportster has, but I've only ever seen two shifters on tubers and it's the one that's not the boomerang shifter I was after...

    1999 Buell Lightning: Parting Most of it Out

    It's not on the list, but are you planning on letting the shifter assembly go? From what you described I assume you're planning on switching to some forward controls. Looking for the lever, mounting block, bolts, connecting rod and the small clamp on the shifter shaft, or any combination of...
