Bike looks great!! nice work[up]

 

[short lived x]

i love the look of the all white bike, if you dont mind me asking, how much did it cost to get the plastics painted?

 

[burgurboy]

well... honestly... i don't know


It's a family friend that paints for me. I did all the labor and prep work. He sprayed the paint. I asked him how much I owed him and he said the paint was "donated".

so, in the end... i didn't really pay anything.

burgurboy, I don't know where you live, but MAN, that last shot looks AMAZING !!! Roads don't look like that here in Quebec(Canada)...

 

[burgurboy]

Hah. Looks can be deceiving....

That's one of the very few curvy roads in our area. In florida there are no hills and no curves. 99% of our roads are just straight and flat.

This is one of our go-to streets for snapping pics

[thrstrmech]

[Loki]

[burgurboy]

Nah, this road is over in the south lakeland area.

Loki just shoot me a pm with your email address and ill send those right over to you

 

[donphantasmo]

Is that in Saint Augustine, FL? Maybe Magnolia Ave?

 

[neomac3444]

Where did you buy those blinkers i wanna do something similar but on my passenger pegs

 

[burgurboy]

Well guys. A slight update to this thread.

I never thought I'd sell this bike... BUT as of tomorrow morning, there will be a new Buell in the garage...

Unfortunately, my xb12 is listed in the for sale section. I'm excited... but, not at the same time.

 

[ctrvl]

Good lord, that bike looks incredible in white.

 

[burgurboy]

Haha. Isn't it? I love it.

The Ulysses is a great bike though. I'm sure I'll get creative with it one day and "do it up" too.

 

[JustinMT]

After all that work?! You're nuts! But,
to each his own. I'm converting my Hero Blue over to Arctic White, but I'm buying not painting!

At least you're sticking with Buell! [up]

 

[Enemy Zero]

Why not have 2 in the garage?

Congrats on the Uly. I'm going to be in the market for a Uly myself soon. I refuse to sell my 9SX though.

You're a stronger man than I am to get rid of "White Magic" lol.....you were my Inspiration to do my lightning in white.....enjoy the Uly[up]

So what's the story on the throttle tube. Mine is cracked and I have been looking for a replacement, but can't find much information. I was hoping for an aluminum one, but definitely no luck there.
