dtdevil.. the execution of the artwork on that thing is actually good quality. Is that paint or is it some kind of graphic overlay with clear sprayed over it? I would actually keep those as a novelty, but I wouldn't run those.. you can get some used plastics off ebay for pretty cheap. How old are you and how long you been riding?

true. the quality of the work looked good... they could be used for special occasions, throw them on and park it out front of a comicon event or a batman premiere and charge money for photos ... ha
dtdevil,
I was going to buy that bike a few years ago it was for sale at Dream Machines in Round Rock, but someone beat me to it. The artwork was quite good, like gloomshadow said pull off the plastics and save them, you could always put them pack on for halloween

Sorry for the late reply, it is all done by hand. According some info I dug up the previous owner spent 4K on the paint job.
And yes I was planning on keeping them, set aside for the n st owner if I do sell her but these past few months I have fallen in love with the bike and gotten used to the paint job. If I do cover it I may do a plasti dip, that way I can just peal it off.
Would you happen to know what the price was for it back then Onida? The gentleman that bought it from under you ended up having a bad car accident and messed up his arm quite a bit, and I got it for a decent deal. But it did suddenly die on me just the other day, so you may have dodged a bullit.
That thing is Amazing!
After going down that first time I am doing the same, I didn't think I would fall so much in love with the bike that I'm even considering the stunt cage for extra protection, but they look pretty to gaudy..... And I'm not planning on dropping her ever again!
Oh yes I have been shopping quite a bit at buellsterparts.com, great site for me to make my wallet disappear!
Haha no worries I'm thick skinned

what caused it to die on you? what was the situation ?
glad the bike grew on you... buells are the dark horses of the sport bike world .. a lot of misconceptions about them floating around in on the web and the press..in the right hands and on the right roads a buell can be a beast. that bottom end and mid range aint nothing to laugh at , especially in its class

I started it up to let it warm on a cold day, while I was putting on gear it just died, no sputter or slow like it was running on battery and died, just off.
So I tried starting it, it turned over would fire then pop from under intake box. The throttle blades were black with a lot of oil caper inside the air box. It was backfiring in the throttle body. So I replaced the plugs cleaned the throttle body out, cleaned the air temp sensor, found one of the spark plug wires had a worn out wire to the rear and was tapped up with electrical tape. I've got new plugs coming in the mail, then I'll reset the tps and I'll work from there.
I'll probably drain the tank and replace the fuel filter betting it's pretty gunky anyways, I need to find the pulling tool. And oil change while I'm at it.
