Subscribed here! Hella nice build you've got going on. Well, I've at least got that same headlight that you and njloco have.

Sorry, late to the party...

What are magnesium XB race wheels? Was this just a limited run, and for which bikes?

Looks like an amazing build!

They were available to racers in the parts and accessories catalog and came on the XBRR model. They were the hot setup before the redesigned EBR wheel. The EBR wheel will not bolt up to an XB without some persuasion.

I’m not positive, but I’m pretty sure the magnesium wheels are lighter than the Ebr wheels. Just sayin..

I got more stuff

I was using Renthal Ultralow bars but hated the logo in the middle. I decided to go with EBR 1190sx bars with the pegasus logo. The 1190sx bars are fatbars, so I'm having fatbar mounts machined for the triples.

Yellow Carbon

Setrab 10 row oil cooler

Shoria lithium battery. Weighs 8.15lbs lighter than stock

Brembo rear master with integrated reservoir

Brembo P34 with hidden bracket

Is it Christmas already?! How close are you to starting assembly?

 

[mike lowary]

I’m still mocking everything up currently. Next step is tear down for cerakote. Still deciding on colors. Leaning toward Cerakote Gun metal on the frame and swingarm.

For us old guys, what is telegram ?

For us old guys, what is telegram ?

Telegram is an application that allows for groups of folks (and peers) to chat privately. I've been using it since it first came out. It's pretty popular among IT folks, and I've got a few Telegram groups already going (other interests), so I thought I'd make one for all of us Buell fans.

It's like "FB Messenger" without Zucker-borg stealing all your data.

Once the Zorg bought Whats-app, I moved to Signal with all my baby stealing, drug making, assassination plotting friends.

Yeah Signal and Telegram are very similar. They are both MUCH better alternatives.

Quick update. Bike is still in mockup. Deciding on a frame colors and still welding up holes to be shaved in the subframe and headlight modules. A couple things have changed with the build too.

Ended up going with a Penske triple instead of the Nitron shock

I also scored an XBRR Swing arm! It's the Endurance Racing version with the Titanium quick change axle!! Unbelievably RARE stuff!

 

[Cooter]

Thats quite a special piece, I'm happy you found it for such a one-off project:triumphant:

 

[mike lowary]

Quick update. Still waiting on parts to come in. Still doing mock up.

 

[mike lowary]

Also just scored an EBR 1190RS Carbon brake scoop!!

 

[mike lowary]

And a XBRR Ohlins Steering stabilizer!

 

[Outlaw]

Looking good
