I see your bike!

Lol, nice find! Indeed that's my bike; unmistakably. That's probably the dirtiest my bike has ever been too. That's a darn good price on those sliders. I'd have paid upwards of $150 for these. Very high quality.

@jakestolar cause you're due any time now to post again asking about my second caliper LOL: I've still been putting all my time and resources into finishing my car BUT I did purchase the billet alum needed and will be adding the second caliper soon.[up]

Sorry if posted a reply before, but do you have any info on those forward foot stands?

I designed some peg brackets and had them welded to the floor plate of the D&D. The tabs extend up and bolt to the cases. When I get into the twisties I just flip them up with my feet and carve it up!

Thx man. The brackets are up underneath the belly pan and I didn't take any pics before installing the exhaust and pegs. The peg on the right side replaces the fairing mount point. The one on the left I mirrored off the right side since there is not a fairing mount in the same location.

I have respect for the bike, though shes not my taste.

The rx7 you posted you completely ruined however. I love the ls1 swap, but that bulging bodywork ruined the lines of one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Although I could never afford 1/4 of what you put into that rx7, so i will leave it at that.

What do you do for a living?

Honestly don't mean to hate, nice nice parts on that buell.

Update: Got the Webinar+PC setup with Max/Octopus via The Tuniversity last week. Great guy and excellent customer support/service. Highly recommended.

Spent all weekend logging rides and tuning. VERY happy with the outcome. The bike was a real dog after all the changes I made: K&N/Airbox delete/Showy RamAirLid/D&D/Beast of a rear wheel&tire/Super tall gearing. Now I have ALL the power back and then some. I also lowered the idle so it idles more like my 05 XB12R. 1st and 2nd gear wheelies no prob now!

Also, did my first oil/tranny fluid change. First I flushed the oil system with Seafoam and 30 miles. Drained that then in went 4qt V-twin Amsoil and 1qt in the trans.

The looks I get riding down the street are priceless. Most the harley guys don't wave much as it appears to be a sportbike from the front. Then as I pass and they hear the v-twin rumble and 280 tire they do a double take. Conversely the sportbike guys throw up a big wave then keep looking back after they pass....like WTF!? Good times[up]

I dont know how I missed this gem of a thread. A-fucking-mazing work. Do u have ur own cnc machine if u are crafting one off parts out of billet blocks? Or do u design and leave it to a shop to finish? I too would agree with the photo shop job that put ur fairing a bit higher, i think it smooths out the body lines much better. But thats just my humble opinion, and it aint my bike, or my money put into it, so i say keep it how YOU like it. I wish to one day have the creativity, skills, and eye for crafting and machining that you have in your little finger.


You Sir, are awesome.

 

[turboraven]

Thx bro. I sure wish I had my own CNC. I design everything and what I can't make with my shop hand tools I send to the shop to have made.

 

[oh9bolt]

Wait do you mean you put 2.5 qts of oil in the swingarm?

 

[oh9bolt]

Nevermind I forgot you upped the capacity.

 

[turboraven]

Nevermind I forgot you upped the capacity.

Bingo

I've never liked or been impressed with "fat tire" bikes... This one has totally changed my attitude about them. If I can borrow a phrase from my teenage son, "this bike is SICK!" in the best possible way. I love what you did with th Duc fairing --the bike just looks sinister! Nice!!

 

[turboraven]

Muchas gracias

I saw this bike in person yesterday. I have to say, its very sneaky at first. You identify it as a buell, then every time you look at it again you notice something new. The more you look at it the more you can tell a lot of work and thought went into it.

I told Adam yesterday that hes in the wrong business currently. He should be in a shop making $$$ off his ideas and skills.

 

[turboraven]

Thanks Dean[up] It was a good ride yesterday. [cool]

 

[Wolf]

I agree.
Design and make parts.
Quite a few of us would buy them.
Cheers,
