Eastern VA/NC buellers

[Joe Hamm]

Hey stationed in Havelock myself. See ton of buellers on base here and off base. Even met with a guy and rode with a guy from Havelock, but is in school in Greenville.

Blstn - Like Nilla said MSF course are awesome did the BRC, ERC, and a military sportbike rider course myself and going to redo the BRC with my wife coming up end of April just like Nilla. However, if you didn't know, if you want to use you're blast for the BRC and you dont have an endorsement don't do it. I know its common sense not to ride without an endorsement, but when signing up for the BRC with my wife. The lady told us a story about a guy showing up without one with his bike. He was fined 250$, couldnt do the course, and had to tow the bike out (instructors happened to be cops too).

Aside from that I am not deploying anymore so hit me up for a ride if you're close or if you're far maybe plan something for the future!

@Nilla - I'm usually all DIY as well, but didn't want to wait on getting the tools in - it'd been a few months since I last rode. Next time I'll likely do 'em myself - just need to prep for it first.

 

[nilla]

i'd be more than happy to lend you my tools. but i've only got the seal drivers for 41 mm. and i used a straw to establish fluid level.
nothing fancy.

 

[Sirius815]

I doubt I'll need another fork rebuild for a long time, but thanks for putting that out there. [up] Much appreciated.

Never heard of Havelock. I have seen a couple of Buells near me. I saw one on Dam Neck the other day.

 

[Joe Hamm]

Its down in NC, between New Bern and Morehead City.

I was coming back from the outer banks, I think it's 168. I saw a black xb lightning heading south, about 10 minutes into carolina. Anyone?

 

[Crescent1101]

Anybody have a Firebolt in Virginia Beach? I want to see what they feel like in person. I want to switch from the lightning.

 

[nilla]

... dya wanna ride one or just sit?

firebolt ergos are just like an 1125. dwight has an 09 12 R for sale. clean and well maintained

 

[Crescent1101]

I already have a Ss I just want to sit. I want to change out to the Firebolt set up so I can use a GPR. I can't really use on on the Renthal Ultra lows.

GPR makes a stabalizer for the XB_S

ASB shows a pic of it installed on a lightning
http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-prodshow/9249.html
and ASB has a bunch of linear steering dampers listed too.
(NOTE it is spelled d a m p e r. it's not a DAMPNER, as it doesn't make the steering damp or wet)

so you don't have to swap to the XB_R front end to get a GPR stabalizer or a damper.
but if you still wanna swap, you can come sit on my 1125 if you wanna feel the ergos.
the R tail section has a higher, less comfy seat than the S, but you can try it with out the seat or i have a junk seat pan (no foam)

i'm all the way over in portsmouth, BTW

Im in Va Beach, Hero blue City Cross I have seen alot of Buells but havnt got a chance to talk to any of them. it would be nice to ride with a fellow Jarhead.

 

[Crescent1101]

Im in the Navy. I ride a bright orange Buell Ss. Some have told me its red but either I'm color blind or I am.

 

[Crescent1101]

Ok, I have an ECMSpy cable and software. I think I am in over my head. If anybody has any knowledge of ECM spy in my area and can show me in person I will supply a couple of beers and possibly lunch if you impress me, which won't be hard.

 

[Sirius815]

I'd be more than happy to show you, but I think my schedule is a little tight at the moment. You're up in VA beach right? I'm down a ways past Raleigh.

 

[Crescent1101]

Not in to much of a hurry. I think I flashed a race map on. I am not sure. About how far are you from me?

 

[Sirius815]

240 miles, ~4-4:30 hours.

 

[Sirius815]

I saw you did the cut and paste method. To see if you loaded up the right maps, connect EMCSpy to the bike and fetch the eeprom from the bike, then go to the maps screens.

Open up ecmspy a second time (should have two copies running now) and open your stock eeprom or maps (that you should have made a backup of). And then just compare the numbers. You can also set the maps to 3D and compare the waveform.

Hope that helps.

I'm new here. From emerald isle NC and picked up an 06 XB12Ss. I'm always looking to ride with new people and haven't seen any other buells around.
