Looks really nice; I especially like the polished lip on the wheels.
As mentioned above, what's that exhaust?
Also, how much weight do you think all that carbon saves?

 

[lvlark]

Thanks for the nice comments.. im really happy with the finished result.
the exhaust is called Torque Hammer and is made by Twin motorcycles.

I might have been a little to fast to call it done. because I have come up with a few new ideas. but I will wait until the winter to take it apart again. right now im just enjoying how grate a bike it is to ride.

So I went down to a friend of mine, how is racing and buildings buells.
he did a tps reset on my buell because its was not running as it should after i changed the ecm, and what a difference. it now pulls like hell, and if im not easy on the throttle the front wheel will lift in 2nd..

while he was doing the tps reset I went in the back of his store to see a new buell he had build. its the first supermotard buell I have seen, I took some pictures so i could show you guys.

Thats fricken awesome! [up] Not a big fan of the exhaust but i bet it sounds like a "Harley..."

 

[TreyE]

That is the craziest thing Ive seen done to a buell lol

 

[bigflash1]

Wow!

 

[Loki]

[oh9bolt]

That thing is nasty. Not in a good way.

awesome looking bike man. i like the other buell in the first set of pics to. where did u get that crash bar with the sliders from? i have been looking for something like that but cant find anything.

 

[lvlark]

the sliders were mounted on the bike when I bought it i england, a few years back. but i came across a web site where they sold them.. I can try to see if i can find it again.

 

[lvlark]

i found the site. its made by R&G racing.
here is the link

 

[dsmbill]

thank you lvlark!!! keep up the nice work on ur buell!!

 

[lvlark]

It has been a few months since a last did something to my Buell, because i have been driven it while the weather is still ok here in Denmark, but now the bike is back in the garage and I started up the project again.
I have bought a new front pulley in red and will cut in the carbon so it's going to be visible.
And yesterday i started up another project, I'm going to do some airbrush on the airbox cover and the rear end. it should be done in the end of next week.

here is a picture of the pulley i bought

 

[lvlark]

Here is a little preview of what's happened with the bike the last 2 weeks.
I will post some more pic's after the weekend.
Im going early tomorrow with the 2 Buells to scandinavian motor show.
