F@&$k no!
I smell photoshop..

 

[ConcreteAce]

the swing arms are diffrent but he says he changed them out

 

[bolt08]

maybe, if he changed the swing-arm & let it sit outside in a harsh environment for 20 yrs.

 

[ConcreteAce]

He has had the bike maybe a year, year and half at the most. the tanks look real different to me as well. one has a notch and one is straight.

 

[ConcreteAce]

btw those who are looking his bike is on the second page of the thread.He is saying his is the same bike pictured on the first page.

 

[ConcreteAce]

Could the bike in the first picture be a different year?

 

[dave_xb12r]

It's a S1 with a S3 swing arm. No photoshop

 

[ConcreteAce]

this is his bike (this is what it looks like now)

this is the first pic he posted.He says that this bike is the same bike supposedly he took this picture a few months ago.

 

[delta one]

a few monhts?!?! yea right! only if he decided to let it rot out in snow ice and salt for the few months between. and the "older" pictures swingarm looks stronger to me, why would you swap that out? that and for some reason put the reflectors back on. different angles to the plate bracket as well as different size tags. different shock body etc etc

 

[acepilot79]

yeah right... that isnt the same bike notice the tank is different. the nicer one is missing the "dog tooth" right above the air filter.

 

[jreinke]

no way those r the same...

 

[LeFox]

if it is, he ruined it!

the condition now picture not only has a different swing-arm, it also has a lower tail section, different rear bracket (reflector & license plate), different rider & passenger pegs

 

[lleubbx]

It´s is bike alright...model and brand nothing else

 

[aaronbuell]

looks like different handle bars and tranny brace that reads buell ones older ones newer.

 

[Bolt]

Lol!Hmmm-good point-

 

[brightbuell]

I hate to say any buell is a peice of ****. So let me refraze. The bike has been very neglected. If you were thinking about buying it and restoring the rusted and weatherd parts then just make sure he reduces the price to reflect his neglegence. I want to see all buells restored and on the road. Always keep your bike coverd! If its in a garage put an old dry bed sheet over it. Just make sure your headers are cooled off before you do. Melted plastic can make a mess.

 

[ConcreteAce]

someone just pointed out the differences. looks like he just got served

 

[racepro716]

WOW!!! you guys are good. I don't know a bunch about the tubers but you guys are crazy good at spotting EVERYTHING!!! I have to keep going back to check all differences you point out. Jeeze it's good to have so many people on here who know what they're talking about! Well done! Wayne

just some tid bits from another thread

What is complete BOLLOCKS is the engine spec. In his post he claims

1296CC S&S EVO
Dual Crane Race Cams
Thunderstorm Highflow Heads
Sinister Forge Overbore Pistons
Vance and Heniz Carbon Exhaust
Running HighFlow Racing headers
140 Horses.

Compare this partly stripped photo of Mojo’s S1 engine with race headers. Look at the diameter of the pipe and position of the collector. His bike clearly has the standard headers. Also note the base of the cylinders are the same. S&S big bore cylinders have their S&S logo cast in to the cylinder base.

Engine specs are complete fantasy......biggest bore available for standard cases is 1250, anything bigger requires the cases to be bored out which loses the bolt between the cylinders....tis still clearly visible.......and they're standard cylinders, not S+S.
I could go on all night but I'm bored now........bloke is full of ****, period.

and last but not least
WTF is dual Crane race cams ?......is he only running 2 cams ?......these engines have 4 cams.
Thunderstorm heads are black.
Headers are bog stock and the muffler is clearly neither a V+H or carbon fibre.

140 rwhp is near on impossible to acheive and cetainly not with stock cases and the other ***** he lists....would cost near on 10K dollars to build an engine with 140 and would self destruct PDQ.
