Ya I know. I’m such a jerk always posting crappy cell pics.
It’s still extremely amateur... needs a little more work. The seat also needs to be reworked to match the tail. I have all the materials, it’s just that one thing I never seem to have enough of.... TIME!
Maybe one day I’ll stop being lazy and brake out an actual camera and post some quality photos!

You did a write up of it, yes? Really thinned out the rear. Very 1190-ish before they were out even:up:

I did do a little write up.
I wanted to show that anyone can go to Walmart and buy the materials to make fiberglass parts for under $50.
Dime city cycles has a great “how to” video on YouTube.
It’s just so dam time consuming to get it looking JUST RIGHT!

Yes, you must get your butt in gear and finish that baby off, or buy a new cell phone !
Cooter, how does Stella get air as it seems to be blocked off in the front air filter cover ?

Good eye NJ! Being a later bike, it has no hole through the frame from the LSS. The top of my air box is gone now (just a filter), and the whole air box cover is open where it goes under the seat for plenty of flow with much less intake noise. For the engineers in the audience:black_eyed: Yes, it's less-dense, warmer air from the engine heat, instead of cool air from the front, but there was no correction from the ECM.
As a side note, I have put plenty of different covers on her including an older XB style thick carbon fiber one with no openings at all. I did a bunch of riding and she ran well and the AFV didn't move much, telling me there was enough air getting in. I'd still like to see a proper dyno pull though. I cut some big holes in it later and other than getting much louder, the tune still didn't change.

Interesting! in another thread, my SS is running and sounding really good. I just put the Spec. Ops muffler and K&N on it. I know I have to find and install a tune now but with the exception of deceleration popping, it's running great.
On a side note, believe it or not, that 07 STT I got for my friend not too long ago, he wants to sell it now ! I don't get it, he was like a little kid that got a wrapped present and couldn't open it until Xmass, he couldn't talk about it enough. I would buy it but that would make four and the wife would kill me, still it might be worth the chance.

Haven’t been on in a while and got some pictures during a short ride on the firebolt.
Nice ass!
Glad to have ya back:eagerness:

Where ya been Mike? Glad to hear you're alive and kicking.
Hey Wally, I have been busy with work lately but the majority of my absence was because I was rear ended on my 1125r. Minding my own business on my way home. I get with in a few exits from my exit and start moving over one lane at a time. Because the mirrors are virtually useless on Buell and the fact that my buddy got rear ended last October on the freeway when I was with him, I am crazy about looking over my shoulder every time I make a lane change. Either way, I start making my way over, I’m in the lane for less lane 5 second and when I go to look over my shoulder again bam. Before I could even start my next lane change I was hit. Interestingly enough my but and feet cane about a foot off of the bike on impact but I never let go. When I came down my right foot landed on the foot peg but my left hit ground and started pulling my off the bike. Luckily I was able to pull myself back on and wait for everything to stop. We came to a stop pretty quick because the bike was imbedded in the front his car. His front axel was actually off the ground resting on my rear rim. After turning around and giving him a little piece of my mind I proceeded to dodge traffic as I ran to the shoulder. I now have a 12 inch piece of rim, a broken foot peg and a part of his car hanging on my wall in the garage. ‘‘Twas the night that really sucked but definitely could have been worse. Also unfortunately the bike was totaled out. Sorry about the bad pic but it was the only of I took before the vehicles were separated and moved off the highway. Also sorry about the flipped picture.

The cops in n.j. are getting much better, I never thought I'd be able to say something like that. As long as your not driving like a total ass, they seem to know that you want to stay ahead of the idiots and seem to look the other way while you move along to do so.
Bam, Glad your alright, from the looks of it, it could have been much worse.

Mike sorry you got off man, next time post a thread stating that you got off. That way we can help you out with replacement parts if needed, someone near you can assist you with getting your bike back home from the tow yard, etc. Glad you didn't get jacked up man.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I thought about making a thread but didn’t want to make a big deal about it. A buddy showed up before the cops even left and we had it loaded up in no time. I was okay and the bike was completely totaled. Even had engine damage from the hard impact. Because of the substantial damage to the bike I let the insurance take it. Thankfully I have my other two Buells and the new bike I picked up.

Cool, I kept my Tiger though, boring ? Well maybe, I guess it depends on how you ride it, I will say that riding my SS and Ully is a bit more interesting.

Maybe boring is the wrong word and it was a fun bike but could use more "sport". If Triumph ever brings this to the US the Buell will be gone asap for down payment.
