Looks like I can't find a buyer for my bike so I guess I'll keep it for good and buy a cruiser too. I would like to see pictures of a firebolt with complete carbon fiber plastic replacements. To know If the are uv sensitive. How the fitments are..
 
Most parts fit really good but hard to find. Franks Parts de- site in France has some nice goodies.Watch out your wallet will shutter with fear but you eyes will have tears of Joy!Showyomoto in Canada has some nice goodies and the same explaination on Tears of joy as well.Trojans site has some cool goodies.Free Spirits has some cool goodies! Twin Motorcycles.nl the same.Check out some of those and see what you think-Don't hollar about the price because I already did! They are Buell Freaks Too!Carbon is getting somewhat hard to find nowadays cause the demand isn't there.American Sportbike may have something.*Jimi [smirk]
 
I have a lightning, but you get the idea with the airbox.

I got my airbox from americansportbike.com for 300 and some odd dollars. The good thing about them is their pattern matches the original buell carbon fiber. (my chinfairing and flyscreen)
 
Where did everyone here order their stuff from? How is the quality/weave. Is the gel coat / clear coat holding up over time?
 
well...it is not carbon as such, but the Buell airbox decal was looking really bad, so i got my supplier to print me up some new ones (i redrew the Buell logo in a vector format - if somebody needs it) and he had a carbon look vinyl.

i will apply them tonight!
 
i will find out from my supplier - the postage might be more than the vinyl...

alternatively, i could send the files (unless there is a section for these resources) and you could try have them made up your side of the world?
 
supplier came back with a price: at the current ZAR/USD exchange rate it will be US$ 14.5381 (or ZAR100) - which is at cost.

not sure what postage would be though...:(

thanx guys!
 
Hey wally, I've got vector versions of most of the buell logos. Let me know if you need some for cutting. I might have you cut some for me while you're add it. I'm a decal whore. :D
 
i will email the file or try and upload it to something like Photobucket tomorrow, post the link for all to use - it is on my work computer.

i struggled to find it, eventually traced it from the Uly's tank, scanned it in, redrew it and matched it.

now it is perfect! ;)

thanx dave - i'll let you know!
 
cool, got it uploaded.

there is also a set of "original" style ones, where i created the same texture and 3D feel (for when you print on flat vinyl):

Carbon decals:
Illustrator CS5 version - 1MB file size
Print-ready PDF version - 275KB

files are in pink spot colours to assist in vinyl cutting. there are 2 versions - 1 like mine and 1 like the std Buell logo, but only showing outer bleck trim line as carbon (inner section will show tank colour showing through)

Standard Buell logo:
Illustrator CS5 version - 10.7MB size

i will post the PDF link as soon as Mediafire has decided to verify it...
