    Bike got knocked over.... Need new front fender and Kickstand, maybe Parts #'s?

    Going to call a couple of HD shops today that are suppose to be Buell dealers. Until I call them later this morning is there any websites or places you guys know of that sell parts? I need a front fender (Red Stripe Edition) and a new kickstand. I did see a kickstand on ebay for $50, haven't...

    stock header pipe

    I'd measure the inlet of the can and the collector on the header. That should tell you whether or not it will fit. I thought I read somewhere the stock pipe is 2 1/4 but don't quote me on that.

    Racing Stripe Part 2

    I hear you on the undertail piece, that's why I didn't bother with one. Your also right about MDI and their website, they talk it up like they're pieces fit perfectly... But for the price I can make them work, but I doubt I'll buy any other pieces from them. Although their customer service was...

    X1 MPG?

    I've never seen anything above 47 mpg's, usually average about 42-44. My best was when I rode back and forth to work driving 95% highway at 65 mph. At the time it just had a custom tune, force pipe, and a chain conversion. I don't know if my bike is geared different or not but at 65mph I'm...

    Racing Stripe Part 2

    They didn't come pre-drilled; which isn't that big of a deal, but they don't fit exactly as they should. It takes a little flexing to get them to fit properly. But for the price they're acceptable. I just didn't have $300 bucks to throw around for the ASB ones or I would have went with them. If...

    I bet that's going to sound pretty good, and loud lol.

    Alright, have some updates. Received my panels from MDI and they look pretty good for the price. They're not pre-drilled so I'm going to take care of that when I get the time. Quality also looks pretty good. Here's some pics. Not perfect, but I'm pretty satisfied with them. This weekend I'm...

    I'm just painting the cut-out parts that were previously painted, the paint looked like shit so I did away with it. Still need to get the paint code to match the rest of the bike. An yea, ASB really pleased me with sending me another one so fast. [up]

    Time for a little update. Today I received my new roller from ASB, they were pretty understanding and sent me a new one 2nd day air so big [up] to them for the excellent customer service. Also received a tracking number from MDI-Carbon Fiber today so my panels should be here at the end of the...

    Alright got a little problem on my hands at the moment. I rode in to work this morning and everything was fine and even went on a lunch ride around the city. On my way home I was riding and something flew off my bike and hit me in the leg, it didn't hit me hard but still kind of freaked me out...

    Time for a little update. This weekend I was a little productive, I relocated my horn; Thanks Nw for the tip, and I also sanded down some of the old paint the previous owner had put on the tail. Here's some pics. In the middle of relocating the horn. Underneath the left side looking up above...

    X1 Did not like its first long ride after sitting for 3 months.

    I'd go ahead and run some Seafoam through your tank; this is what I do to stablize it, as well as check/clean or replace your plugs and might as well change the oil and filter. I haven't rode mine in 2 almost 3 months and she fired right up this weekend when I took her out after doing what I...

    Thanks merlin, and I'll get some pics as soon as I get them. It'll probably be around the week of Feb. 6th when I receive them. Got the day of tomorrow so I'm going to relocate my horn and possibally go for a short ride since its suppose to be in the upper 40's here and sunny. All in all I'm...

    Racing Stripe Part 2

    So its been awhile but I've been getting little things done here and there. I received my chain roller yesterday and got around to putting it on tonight. It definitely sits the chain up higher from the swingarm so that makes me feel better. One thing I did noticed is the mounting bolts supplied...

    I'll let you know how they are. I read some reviews online and people say for the price you can't beat them. But as always, money is an issue and I too am a baller on a budget lol.

    Racing Stripe Part 2

    Thanks for the pics NW, I really don't like where the horn is stock lol. Going to work on it tonight to try and hide it. As for the grommet on the intake, I was afraid the filter was going to hit the sensor so I didn't drill it out enough for it. If it starts causing me problems I'll just go...

    Racing Stripe Part 2

    Alright so I was pretty productive over the weekend despite the cold weather. I got my intake "modified" and its going to work out perfect I think. Thanks NW and Pur. I used some Honda-bond gasket maker to seal the IAT in the tube. I drilled the hole just big enough to fit the sensor in there...

    Thanks NWRider & Pur Pony for the input. Looks like I got some work to do tonight after I get home. On another note, anyone have any input for my HID situation? I was messing around with it last night to make sure I wasn't being sloppy with the fitment and still no dice. The bulb sticks out way...
