Just traded for this Buell XB

[Dawgwalker]

Wow nice bike and it looks like you get the better deal for sure looking at the cost of what went into the buell. I love the Triumph too I am sure will miss it!

Looks like a Hal's swingarm to me.

Good guy, I think I've talked to him a few times over there.

You got a great deal on that thing.

That Ohlins looks amazing! Worth ALOT of money too, I would get a low jack on that thing!

is it weird at all that i've had a picture of your bike in my desktop background folder for about 2 years or so?....

Thanks Guys, I'm loving the bike. I've actually spoken with John the original owner of the bike quite a bit, very nice guy. The bike is a Lighning with a firebolt tail btw. I've just been cleaning the bike up for the most part, cleaned up and repainted the exhaust and swapping out little things like the chain guards and oil cooler scoop with Carbon fiber to make everything match, added HID main beam and an extended windscreen. I have a new ZTL2 caliper and scalloped rotor to put on but I haven't had the time. Here's a couple newer pics.

I forgot I also wired the headlights to run at the same time as well as putting on an EB Racing gas cap. One of the downsides of buying a bike that was so highly modified for Me is it doesn't leave me much to do as far as upgrades go ahaha. I'm also amazed at how large the ZTL2 caliper is, I hope it stops as good as it looks. I think thats my only complaint with the bike right now, the front brakes don't have the same bite as my Japanese sport bikes. But to be fair they have dual caliper and dual disks, maybe tomm I'll get around to swapping it out. Here's a few more pics while I'm here
