    swapping primary gears xb12 to xb9

    Interested in this myself With 1000cc Japanese sport bike levels of torque from the XB9, and lots of high way cruising for my daily commute, plus the supremely careful throttle control required for around the parking lot, I"m surprised I only hear of people going from the XB12 to 9 gearing and...

    Engine Idle 200-300rpm surge

    I've done the shock removal before to replace the rear cooling fan, just had an annoying experience after when the fuel line was chafed and had to be replaced, but definitely willing to do that versus engine rotation. Will check both and report back. Thx for the help

    Engine Idle 200-300rpm surge

    Just did exhaust wrap and paint, oil change to Royal Purple (Crank + Trans), rocker gasket seals, and a very late 10,000 mile service and check with everything well within limits. Before doing the tune up I'd have the odd bog on fast throttle pull. Now on warm up the engine will continually...

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    I've never heard a story of the Buell factory heated grips running out, and that's from Uly's doing 30k mileage. Its actually a heating element underneath the grip material, so you'd have to be stroking them like you're attaining ecstasy in order to "wear them out." As far as cheaper kits, I...

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    Got my stuff on and ready. Copied the setup from the 08's so now it only works with the ignition on. Only thing I would warn against is the drill bit that comes with the kit is garbage. Would have been faster to bite the hole in the handle bar. Use a good titanium bit with WD-40 for a like...

    07 Fuse Block removal??

    They've got one for the 07 Ulysses at least, which is showing me where the fuse box is, but not how to pull it out for wiring in a new set of contacts.

    07 Fuse Block removal??

    Gave it a good once over, but I'm at a bit of a loss on how to pull the fuse block out of my 07 XB9SX. Its the standard under seat fuse block for XB's. Tried the 05 service manual from this forum, but can't seem to correlate the two to figure out how to pull it. I'm about to put in the Accessory...

    Pre-08 Bikes New Exhaust = New Tune?

    Hey guys, I know on carb bikes, in order to make sure the bike runs properly for the new exhaust, you need to re-jet, but for the pre-08 Buells, even though we don't have the upgraded ECM's to auto-learn, if I were to get something like the Hawk Muffler, is a tune needed? Or will it just run a...

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    Did a bit more looking. There is an open relay spot and an open fuse spot in the relay box, so I'm headed to the dealer to pickup the hard to find relay and terminals.. gonna make this s*** professional.

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    Well, since I don't feel like buying the 08 repair manual to see just one schematic, I've got a better idea. Instead of using the power from the headlight circuit to power the grips, I'll be clever, and use the power from the headlight circuit to power a SPST relay to route battery power to the...

    Utility Plug Mod.. Anyone done this?

    Woot! Ordered my BurnsMoto USB connector with rubber cap and SAE plug yesterday, and its already shipping out today. Should be here by the end of the week. I'll let you guys know how it worked out.

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    Does anyone know what circuit wire the accessory power line is tapped into? Trying to avoid just running a fuse protected line straight off the battery in case I forget I and leave the grips on with bike off. Oh, btw, your HD dealership should be able to get the connector on order for you...

    HID Kit Installation Instructions?

    I'm actually interested in this as well. I'm looking at the 6k kit, but was curious as to where everyone is hiding their ballasts. Anyone have any pics? I've no problem in dealing with the wire routing after that, but I don't want some gaudy dual boxes ruining the look of the bike.

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    I'm thinking if the dealership can't get the plug p/n, I'll just run to autozone and repin a new connector. There are two accessory power connectors from the control box, and the instructions aren't very clear. I'm assuming since the lightning instructions only talk about connecting one of them...

    What is your Daily Driver? and or other vehicles.

    Daily Driver is actually a bicycle, but I've got a 96 Miata M Edition in Black that is my... lets not say rainy weather as I ride in all weather... lets say grocery getter. *Worthy noting that neither people in these pics are me.*

    Heated Hand Grips for an 09 XB12R

    I've got an 07 Lightning, but I've had the grips sitting in a box (full kit) since March '11 timeframe because H-D wants $200 for the install. I know its just a set of added wires to the 08 system, but does anyone know, or have the schematics for, how the utility wiring is setup into the bike...

    Utility Plug Mod.. Anyone done this?

    oh thats exactly what I need. I know HD wants $200 for my heated grips to be installed. I've got the instructions for them, but I'd rather have a warrantied install done before I ruin my not so cheap grips or bar. The USB thing I could do myself, but I need my 07's schematics and a set of the...

    Utility Plug Mod.. Anyone done this?

    Tried a search, but I'm looking to take my '07 XB9SX 700+ miles (1400 round trip), but my phone, which acts as my GPS and Pandora player, won't last that long. So I'm looking to mod in some kind of car charger style jack to get a good recharge going as needed. Could even be USB. I've seen...
