Frankenstein Buell V1.2

[50dro]

Hey Jake. I hate to burst your bubble but that MotionPro tube isn't gonna do it for you. I bought the same one and it's nearly identical to the stock one. I found that the difference is that the MotionPro tube is for an R6S not an R6. Apparently that makes a difference. I'll see if I can dig up the link to the thread where I discovered this. You'll need a Yamaha tube (PN - 2C0-26240-00...Just happened to have that on a post-it note at my desk! Haven't tried it myself yet.)

Edit: Here's the link.

Do what Nitto did.

$60 + shipping. I will post pictures when I finish but It might not be soon I have a lot on my plate at the moment

 

[jakestolar]

Alright so I got the new throttle sleeve. The object is to have a larger outer diameter, right?

 

[50dro]

Yes...Where the cable sits. Is it not?

 

[jakestolar]

It is indeed larger. Thank you sir! If the weather is nice this weekend I'll do some mods after the gun show!

I also got some new turn signals to try and the bigger buell tool kit. I actually accidentally won it on e-bay. oh well hah

Promise!

 

[jakestolar]

As promised a few new pictures...

New windscreen, honestly I dunno how I feel about it

Frontal of the screen and new turn signals

And from the side

I know you cant see the new throttle sleeve but oh my god it is amazing I didnt do a before and after with tape because I was too excited! 0 to WOT is just the flick of the wrist!

 

[CrazyTexan]

Thats lookin pretty sweet. When you say "flick of a wrist" is it going to be a pain in the ass to daily drive you think? Thats really a sick lookin bike!

 

[jakestolar]

For my buddy who has only ridden twice, yes absolutely this will be very difficult to manage. But his clutch work isn't so nice.

But if you know the bike and are seasoned. No, not at all I had no issue riding and managing the throttle. Just a WHOLE lotta fun!

Thanks for the complement!

 

[OldGeezer]

Bike looks great Jake, I think the new wind screen looks excellent and those turn signals are very tasty.

 

[Loki]

Like the look. But that windscreen has to go. Ruins the flow big time.
