New Buell owner

[Mojo]

Just worked out a deal with a buddy at work.

Just picked up a 07 Buell xb12stt . 1900 miles on it. It has a new rear tire as the old one had a nail, Jardine exhaust (new) , and rear foot pegs. also had the side panels removed. I have always loved the style of these bikes. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I havent had a bike in 18yrs. (36 now) First bike was a yamaha fj600. Loved it. Been reading here all day. Thanks for all this info. I hope I posted this in the right forum. Thanks Much

Mojo~

Welcome, I know that excited and nervouse feeling. I had'nt owned a bike in 25 years. Been riding again now for two and half. Since then I've owned five bikes and still have three. Its addicting. Be careful.

 

[Mojo]

Thanks Guys. I am trading my past addiction. My saltwater reef tank. I have been that for years. Time to move on. I pick it up in 2 weeks. No big rush with the snow on the ground here.lol.



here is a pic he sent me before the exhaust and foot pegs were added

My question is... The seat is a solo right ? but it has the added pegs on it now. Do I need to change the seat? and if so what is suggested. Plus, the "D" on the front. lol no offence but I am not a detroit fan so I would like to just get a new panel. Any suggestions there as well ?

 

[50dro]

Looks nice man! Not sure about the seat[confused]

Is the "D" a decal? If so, just peel it off.

 

[Mojo]

I thought about that but its just vinyl over the white. So I amy just do that.

I read the 12ss long seat will work.

It came down to this bike or wait on the new honda 700x.
after hearing this thing I had to have the buell. It has so much more personality.

Welcome to buellxb.

That is the standard stt seat you have on there. Ss seats will fit also.

Here is the solo seat.

 

[Mojo]

So this one here should fit ?

Thanks again for the help. I am sure I ll be on here a lot for some time.

 

[Mojo]

sorry what I meant was that it has a no passenger embossed in it.. just makes me feel uneasy about giving my daughter a ride.

Welcome, have a good time on your bike, it does have more personality than the scooter-like honda 700x. It looks 1000x better, and as you've already said, sounds better. It has a "soul" if I may say, that makes you want to ride more and more. Plus it's not generic mass market everyday stuff like the honda

Welcome to the addiction that is Buell, you no longer will have any extra time to think about anything but riding, I have a Uly, don't know much about seat options for the others, but I am sure someone will chime in,

 

[Mojo]

The bike has Jardine Exhaust and the previous owner said I would need the emc upgraded he thought. I havent riden it yet but it runs fine so it seems. its cold here.lol
