Are you kidding dogwood this is a highly modified machine with a force exhaust a black swingarm silver 9 frame and a 12 engine making it the fastest Buell on the planet I won't let it go for under 25
Thaloc....... I agree with the influx of negativity here lately, but it's almost unavoidable when people in general make claims that they can't/won't back uP, yet they keep up the ruse that they have done the impossible. Maybe we are all idiots and have miss jibed his capabilitys of building a super Buell.... It's hard to say because without proof neither side can say they are right or even apOligize for all the **** stirred.
rrh481........ You may get luck and find someone that likes the idea of having a stealth 12. I just beg you to provide all documentation to the new owner so they can proove that it is not anpile of rolling scrap to their local DPS office. If the price is good enough most casual riders will over look the motor swap as long as it's reliable. A hard core enthusiast will frown apon it if they want it to be as it was from the factory. What Im getting at is there is nothing wrong with what you have done to the bike IF you intend to keep it.......... If you intend on selling it it just seems a bit strange that someone would go to the extreme to make an 03 into a 08........instead of just buying a stock 08. If you had 2 trashed bikes ( one trashed frame and one blown motor) then what you did makes sense....... To an extent. You on the other hand have replaced Everything with 08 parts that you bought new........so you say.

being that I am NOT some squidly 18 or 19 yr old who just trashed my gixxer, nor do I have a ****** attitude..
if rrh had a modicom of respect for himself, forum members and the general public his interaction with the majority of forum members would have been a much more pleasant and the back and forth passing of knowledge would have continued...
BUT
with what this individual has brought to the forum since he has been here I feel I have the right to say..
"just **** off already, we really don't care"
So I say? I bought oil cooler and scoop and voltage regulator from buellster new. Swingarm and pulleys from ebr. Wiring harness injectors throttle body bearings from Harley. Got my forks fully rebuilt from trackside engineering. I have pretty much all of my receipts and to rebuild my xb9 motor/ build it would have costed me $3400 and instead I found the 08 motor and once it got to my house I realized everything was different so that's why I stuck with the swap and decided it would be a fun project. With all of the negative comments towards me and a few others on this forum I came to the conclusion that I just don't have the time of day for 95% of you people on this forum.

I dont wish for anyone to "Trash" there Buell however this board has been this way since I got here! There are quite a few people that are very helpful and caring about other's but there are some miserable people here too!! However if someone who has had the kind of issues like rrh have had I dont know how anyone can expect anyone else to actually help that person!!!

My feelings are that you bring things on yourself which in rrh481's case was true. I didn't wake up that day and hope that someone posted "my bike tops out around 160" he got questioned and then laughed at, jokes were made, proof was asked for which wasn't fulfilled. I feel there are tons of people that don't get on here a lot then come into a thread like this and think we are saying the things we are because we are children and "ex gixxer" riders go read the buell top speed thread from page 9 on and then come back with your opinion , we are saying these things because the person that is on this forum hhr481 is a lying pos and he got called out. I don't post on here a lot but I got my post count up because of all subjects involving him and jobe.
And the go out and ride thing it takes 2 seconds of life to post these things on here not everyone uses this forum on a computer phones can use the internet as well lol.
I wish I was out riding right now but injuries and surgeries have prevented me from riding for around 8 months.
