Thanks for the link!

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you though. That's way too much red for my taste.

 

[Macbuell]

Just going to throw this out there- I like my Buell with a clutch lever and a front brake on my handle bars some parts look sweet though

 

[Macbuell]

found them in the wallpaper shots, looks weird getting to the homepage though without them. Sorry for multiple posts. Just didn't want to be called out.

I always find it funny when people take shots of motor vehicles in non-functional condition in order to make them look better. Kind of kills some of the magic of seeing a beautiful speed machine for me.

and I don´t like people, they not able to read the
whole issue
on the end of the hellbender/hillbilly website you will find this link

pics from the photoshooting (year 2005)

 

[theoctopus]

Oh I read the whole thing. I saw those photos before Macbuell brought to my attention the photos lacking levers. Just seems silly to take glamor shots of the bike "cleaned up" (i.e. non-functional).

That's like me taking a picture of my Buell with all the wiring, lines, and levers removed just to "clean it up".

OK, I have a question. So does this bike currently have the turbo or not? Photos appear to be taken at two different stages of the build.

And BTW I want the non turbo exhaust system in the photos. I would bet that it sounds better than anything else out there.

 

[Evil Mechanic]

Where can you buy their parts? can you even buy their parts or are they just one offs? I want a short tail and the triples.

 

[yomfwhee]

Non-turbo exhaust? I'll take the turbo exhaust, thank you

Speaking of which, anyone know of any bolt-on turbo kits for Buells?

 

[stopie20]

All of my research has pointed to no "turbo kits" available, there is a guy in florida who was working on one, but last I knew it was still in R&D.

Hence the request for the Non-turbo exhaust, I've decided to go with the big bore kit.
Later when I have time I will build my own turbo set-up to use with the big bore kit.

turbo set up isnt really that difficult as long as you have access to some fabrication equipment, understand basic turbo set up, and have a a moderate amount of money... I have built turbo kits for my civics and helped my old roomy build one for a prelude.. He just got done building one for a busa and said it wasnt too much more difficult than our hondas

 

[driftingswiftly]

Sorry, this bike is unexcusably homely. I hate it when this comes up in buell image searches. And I agree, why would you take nonfunctional pics? If you're going for a hunk of ugly metal and rubber that doesn't have a purpose become a sculptor, not a bike builder.

 

[Abs]

Not a fan.. To much red for me..

 

[toddb3]

I agree about too much red, but I would love to have that engines sans the turbo in my bike. I'd be afraid of having a turbo on an air cooled bike.
