Fitting an EBR Air Box Cover to a Buell XB

[Cooter]

It's the 'Tardis' button








JK, Just a block-off plate, but I'm considering a little voltage gauge or oil temp gauge for it, right in the control box.

@cooter - What tires are you running on your bike in the pic?

 

[Cooter]

Continental TKC-80's. I'd love to say I need them, but they're really because Mad Max:love_heart:

I scanned my airbox cover so it can be used for building custom shaped airbox cover CAD model or can be just 3D printed as is so you can have 3D Printed covers just for a few dollars instead of spending hundreds dollars on new cover.

Minus the cost of buying the scanner, and printer, and plastic, and program, and knowing how to use it all... But it is a neat idea! You should share that file:up:

Do an EBR box that fits on an XB and you're on to something! I really like the look.

Is the 3-D printer plastic nearly durable enough at that thickness? I didn't think it was flexible?

 

[TPEHAK]

I think some of 3d printer plastics have compatible strength as stock plastic.

TPEHAK, Why don't you do something really cool like make me a set of triples that will accept late model gsxr 750/1000 fork tubes and keep them at the correct spacing to also use the same model wheel!!!! Be glad to pay for such a service.

Thats interesting scanning in the airbox. It'll be interesting to see what you comeup with.

Nice mod. I’m too lazy for that so I’m considering to buy this readymade EBR like airbox cover: https://speed-of-color.de/soc-tankcover-r/t-2092?c=48

For shame!
You don’t like the Buell/EBR brake set up for the track?!
You’re not a real Buell enthusiast!

Lmfao Carlos, I'm sure I'm gonna get shunned for this one but I literally HATE the whole front brake setup on these things, on the street or the track. Looks cool as fu@k though.

Thanks for sharing this mate, I'm just following your instructions and will use my 3D print instead of the wood.
More pictures soon.

Thats super cool TPEHAK.

I just realized I didn't post up what mine looked like with the carbon fiber base. I'll post some pictures soon.

TPEHAK takes some flak around here (in my limited experience) (sometimes for good reason) but this is awesome and it's cool to see yall givin him props where it's due.

now then, i'm dying for a cherry bomb, no-cityX-X airbox cover and they seem almost impossible to find (only one i've found is used and cracked, on ebay).
You can't 3d print translucent acrylic yet, right?

could you 3d print a 'buck' around which to form a sheet of acrylic, however? were these vacuum molded originally? i have no idea....

it would be cool if this kind of a model could be used to make custom/new 'translucid' jawns (hint hint)

 

[TPEHAK]

There are some translucent filament for extrusion 3D printers, but it will not look completely clear and will not be good enough. The best looking filament in my experience should be not clear and has matte finish. Glossy will not look good too. Ideally you should print it from robust plastic, sand it, prime it and paint it to make it looks perfect. Also to print the airbox cover as one piece you will need huge 3D printer.

If you want to vacuum form acrylic around 3D printed plug it might work, but I would CNC plug and necessary tools out of piece of wood instead of using 3D printed plastic plug because of it will not be heat resistant tool and will not survive multiple times.

TEABAG is an idiot and a troll. don't empower him.
and you're still "dying" for a cherry bomb airbox cover w/out X-badging? ORDER ONE for Gods' sakes. gave you ALL the available factory part #'s weeks ago on here. in system.

 

[rchuff]

You know what, John takes the time and finds you the part numbers and if it is still available and you haven't even ordered the part.
Why did you waste his time? Sinikl you are an idiot to.

This friggin place makes me wanna sell my buell some days

 

[Cooter]

Why's everyone so mad?

Go for a fast ride on your Buell, get home safely, open the fridge, THEN post:angel:
