Welcome to the forum! Have you met any other Buell owners in Moscow? Or Russia for that matter! I have to assume that you are in a pretty exclusive club over there!
I am not a member of the club. I like the independence of any societies and associations. I have not heard about the club in Russia, Buell. Motorcycle Buell we have very little. Many do not even know this brand. I know two or three Buell owner, but not personally, but the forums on the Internet.
These bikes are very few in our country. Buy Buell - a bold step. You have to understand what you want. We must want the bike to the present.
Otherwise there will be understanding and symbiosis with the machine ...
This bike is not for everyone. It is unique and special in every way. Many people are afraid to buy such a device. Most prefer what is fashionable. Japanese, Italian, German, or Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Nice picture Metallist, what is the monument? Moscow has always struck me as an interesting city and quite beautiful in places (from the pictures I've seen)
What other plans do you have for your bike? I'll be installing a damper and the hidden rear caliper mods this week end along with a couple of other minor things.

The monument to the era of socialist realism, "Worker and Collective Farm Girl"
The modifications that I want to do:
Some of the plastic liner will replace the metal (aluminum and stainless steel).
One of the parts (stainless steel, thickness 0.6 mm.)
With this piece a lot of work. The metal is polished. In front of the air intakes do. Overhead will be milled aluminum elements.
Will replace the front brake disc (EBR) with the new improved fasteners.
Hidden rear brake caliper.
New mirrors made of aluminum and stainless steel.
Belt tensioner with a spring adjustment.
Folding rear brake levers and gear. In early April, fell to the right side and realized that such instruments required. Brake lever is pulled up and he pulled out of the master cylinder rod with locking ring and a piece of the cylinder.
Sliders in different places. Sliders are also going to do myself (black nylon, transparent polycarbonate, aluminum).
And a lot of different things

Wow! Now I am seriously impressed, that air box cover is a cast iron bitch (no pun intended) to make given the tight radiius and compound curves. Even if you make it in 3 pieces (center and 2 sides) and weld them together and hot hammer them (which it looks like you did) it is very very difficult to do and get looking so good, especially in stainless! I certainly believe it was a lot of work! [up][up]
Sorry to hear about your brake lever and master cylinder, that sucks big time. I have no doubt you know what you're doing, but be careful messing around with brake fasteners, wouldn't want to see all that work and talent damaged
I just put some really nice bar end mirrors on my bike, but took the easy way out (I also no longer have a metal working shop in which to do stuff [sad]) and bought them from ASB.
Keep the pictures coming it will be awesome to see the body part you are making on the bike

Like I said before, you did a great job on that cover, that is a really tough part to make in stainless (or carbon steel for that matter). That is craftsmanship! Did you use what we call an English wheel to form the parts? It doesn't look like you used a body hammer and sand bag, much too uniform.
That is an interesting statue/monument, unusual use of space and perspective (in the sense that you see something different from different angles) Who was the artist/sculptor?
I didn't know Moscow had a monorail, how many Km of track & how many stations. I knew Moscow had an excellent subway system and public transit.

some very interesting architecture in the background roman. you guys have some huge-assed license plates over there.
In the manufacture of caps used an English wheel, shrinker-stretcher, kraftformer, ironing a hammer, a bag of sand and other tools. English Wheel and ironing hammer in one module - we ourselves have built. Kraftformer made based on the milling machine.
The photo is my brother. We have a small business with my brother - our workshop.
Worker and Kolkhoz Woman (Russian: Рабо́чий и колхо́зница Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa) is a notorious landmark of monumental art, "the ideal and symbol of the Soviet epoch", that represents a dynamical sculpture group out of two figures with the raised over their heads sickle and mallet (☭). It is 24.5 meter (78 feet) high sculpture and made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and subsequently moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of the socialist realistic style, as well as Art Deco style. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.
The Moscow Monorail (Russian: Московская Монорельсовая Транспортная Система (ММТС)) is a 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi) long monorail system located in the North-Eastern Administrative Okrug of Moscow, Russia. It runs from the Timiryazevskaya metro station to Sergeya Eisensteina street. The monorail line has 6 stations. Planning of the monorail in Moscow started in 1998. This was a unique project for Russian companies which did not have prior experience in building monorails. 6,335,510,000 rubles (US$240 million) were spent by the city of Moscow on the monorail construction.
On 20 November 2004, the monorail opened in an "excursion mode". On 10 January 2008, the operation mode was changed to "transportation mode" with more frequent train service. Ticket prices were reduced from 50 rubles ($2) to 19 rubles ($0.50) which was the standard fare for Moscow rapid transport at that time; as of 2012, ticket prices still matched the standard fare, although multi-ride passes could not be used between systems. On April 2012 one of Moscow's transport officials announced that he believes the system should be closed and dismantled in future.
The monorail is run by the Moskovsky Metropoliten state-owned enterprise.
