HERES MY BIKE "COMPLETE"

[josh909]

after having my BUELL 2 years and 10 days now it is finally finished all the accesories i've wanted, i've got! wife isn't happy but tell me what you think?

 

[Pockets]

Very clean ride! Where did you get the driving lights?

 

[wiznut]

I think the bike looked better stock...

Harley bar and shield sticker [down]
Seat that doesnt look like it matches [down]
Iron knuckle heel guards... really??? They're the worst looking thing on the bike [down][down][down]
Wierd looking skateboard wheel frame sliders [down]
A sportbike with that much luggage?? [down]

I think I side with your wife. Those things belong on a bagger, not a xb12r.

 

[josh909]

sorry wiznut isnt it all about being UNIQUE! the bags are a must i travel alot, and i think the seat is smokin sweet.... oh and pockets the driving lights came off off the "ebay" like alot of my stuff lookup pilot fog lights there are tons!

 

[rndrkeagle]

damn wiznut.... don't pull your punches... tell us how you really feel...

Josh.... it's your bike... I salute you for making it YOURS.... though I would strongly recommend ditching the Harley logo sticker...

what matters is how YOU like it... Buells are unique, their riders are unique, and that's one of the biggest appeals to the brand...

 

[Alfatango1]

Gotta say it's unique, that's for sure. A bit loud for me though.

 

[TooFst]

I like it. Saw your seat and the bike the other day friggin sweet. Every ones right though gotta lose that bar and schield

"Harley bar and shield sticker"
NEVER FORGET BUELL'S ROOTS IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR H-D BUYING THE CONTROLING SHARES IN BUELL, WE WOULD HAVE GONE UNDER A LONG TIME AGO, AND ON A H-D POINT OF VIEW "NOTHING PERSONAL,JUST BUSINESS" SOMEONE HAD TO MAKE THE CALL IF YOUR LOSING $! THERE GREAT BIKES, YA BUT THEY JUST WEREN'T SELLING. JUST MY GATHERING OF THE SITUATION!

 

[Pockets]

I get HD riders looking at me like "wtf is that?" when they hear me next to them.

 

[konarider94]

hey josh, im not trying to dog you. But do you know that it cost harley 100 Million dollars to shut down buell. I used to feel the same as you but the more i read about what happened the more i started to think that HD is full of **** bags.

And you bike kind of reminds me of a uly now. But it still has the more aggressive riding position of the firebolt. You made yourself a sporty touring bike. I prefer the more naked look which is why i own a lightning.

 

[browland]

Very different... Doesnt look bad maybe just a little too much for me I tend to like simple and clean

I think the brass knuckle heel guards would look better more subdued maybe flat black and only on the rider set

 

[onelogue]

The seat is the only part that throws me off! I mean to pay that much money for a custom seat and it not even flow with the tank or frame colors. It would bother me but i give you props for having a bike completely different than everyone else here [up]

 

[Bolt]

we've all got an opinion&individual taste !
I apreciate that,even when it stings.
Customizing your bike the way you want it is what it's ALL about!
Congrats![cool]

I like man the artic white and blue combo is what got me looking at Buells but I ended up with black and amber. My opinions;

Heel Guards
-The brass knuckle heel guards are very cool talking points but I'd pass on them

Seat
-I like the seat saw the write up hope its comfy!

Lights
- Loving the clear tail lens.
-Go for HID lights and replace the normal ones. Too much going on in the front.

Gear
- Loving the spikes on the fairings
- Hope the windscreen is functional looks like it
- Bags understand the neccesity but if you don't need them lose them.
- Stickers are cool just personalize the HD shield is all.
- Love the bar end and axle/fork sliders but lose the frame sliders.
- Polished headers? You might want to invest in some WD40 and scotch bright pads.
- 1125R Mirrors over the sctok and what about the rear turn signals?

Overall a few things I'd change if it were mine but I love and respect the time and cash you put into it!

hey guys never thought this would be so popular, im diggn my bike but i guess i should be cause i customized it. but hey thanks for all the advice i wont listen to any of it but its nice everyones keyboards are getting excercised!

 

[Bolt]

Ramjr-Loose the frame sliders!?
You think those pucks are gonna save that frame?

 

[BuddhaBuell]

josh, your happy with your ride [up]
frak whatever anyone else thinks!

 

[brightbuell]

Congrats on finnishing your project im still working on mine.

 

[konarider94]

did you make the knuckle heel guards?

 

[samiam901]

Hey Josh not my cup of tea but not my bike either. As long as you love her and take care of her thats all that matters.
