Hey All!

I'll be a little more detailed here than on CL.

I'm selling Bear because it's time to thin the herd. I'm an elite deaf athlete (yeah that's a thing) and I've got two years left on international competition before I retire. I'm purging some of my toys and will be using the monies to facilitate a higher level of training. I wanna go out on top. ;)

Now that I've overshared...if you think you've seen this bike before, you're not crazy! I found Bear here on Buellxb, flew up to Delaware and road tripped down to Atlanta. Great times. He still runs great, has a new chain, new battery and the clutch cable was replaced last year. I never got around to replacing the ever-priming fuel pump because frankly, the bike worked. Also the chain does rub a little against the tire despite a custom output sprocket...blah blah.

Bear is a head turner and very popular at bike nights. Too bad I'm an introvert and really only go to see bikes, not people. ;)

I'll post this and then attempt to post pictures. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if I don't respond in an acceptable number of seconds.

Nitty gritty:

New fuel pump I never installed (old one works fine, but doesn't stop priming so I wanted to replace)
Stock ECM with unknown tune (has a real torque-y tune, but doesn’t pull as hard up top as the EBR ECM)
Stock Rear Wheel (no belt)
Buell shop manual
 
I've been good, thanks.

Hey folks, that motorcycle has very good chain conversion and 240 rear wheel conversion parts in front area, much better than the ones were originally on this motorcycle from the original Fat 300 custom cycles kit, which were rubbing the rear tire way worst.

You won't find for sale another motorcycle with 240 rear wheel with this kit without such issue. And this issue on this motorcycle was almost fixed. This is very good unit.

My apologies. I was obviously not thinking. Besides I'm a Dunkin Donuts guy. No offense intended.

also a badass.:angel:


Starbuck: Curious what your an elite athlete in? It's ok if you don't want to share, I'll probably make up a better story in my head anyway.... like wrestling alligators!

shhhh! cooter you're not supposed to announce when there's a celeb. among us! remember what happened when a few members found out my true identity! (i am the real slim shady....) :black_eyed:


oh yeah! Sweet bike GLWS!
 
I mean, to be fair, Dirk Benedict WAS the first Starbuck so Outlaw is good. I don't understand the donut thing though. Should I Urban Dictionary it? I can't imagine any offense you could cause unless you said Harleys were the best bikes ever made. Then we might need a good brawl.

Eminem, I love your work. Keep that poetry coming! No celebs here 'cept you. I'm a soccer player and because that's not time consuming enough, I also run track. I kind of like the alligator wrasslin thing better though. I might need to steal that.
 
Of course, the obvious comparison. Duh. I'm with you; DD is better. Thanks for your opinion but you know that saying; there's an ass for every seat.

Wtf is going on here. I personally want to let you all know that I hate you! Lmfao. P.S. John, you ripped it at karaoke.
 
So if a group of Buellers roll up to their nearest Starbucks , go in, and just sit around for a while, use the restroom, and buy nothing, do you think their diversity training will kick in and they'll let you stay???
 
That karaoke bit was great . I do loath the Starbuck franchise. Anti Amercan bitches.
