Once the quick shifter gets here watch out!!! I don't want the GP shift pattern so I might have to get creative.

Wow , you found one, From where ?
Silver: It's a 4-104 linear push sensor. I will tap into the stock lever and secure to the case just like the 1125's. Making a little L-bracket and for the cost of just the sensor I should be good to go. I'm still unsure whether you can use the GP kit (like you got
) with the front nub thing flipped up and if the rod will clear or not. I think Dean's is like that?
HMP: Thanks man It was tongue in cheek for buying the EBR and having it kill me. You guys can't get rid of me that easy! :eagerness:

That sure is pretty!! :angel:I never heard of EBR (or anyone) selling a standard shift quicksifter?
If you install that shifter and the rod is parallel to it, the bike will shift GP and will need a 'pull' sensor.
The $$ question is, if you install the part onto the transmission shaft upside down for standard shifting pattern, will the rod connecting the two clear everything ok? If so... you'll need a 'push' sensor.
What style sensor is the one you bought?

On the paper work it says (Standard and GP kit ), But the first question I asked the seller was is it GP or standard, he said standard , either way I was getting it . Back in the day I had a ZR1 Kwa 900 shifted on the left side of the bike and at the same time I was racing on my Bultaco 250 pursang shifted on the right side, never missed a gear.
So going to GP would still doable.

Super! It's the same kit exactly, with a different sensor:up:
That means the rod will clear in the standard shift pattern:up: :up: Still very pretty.

Cooter - I know the bike is still relatively 'new' to you, but how does it seem to be maintenance-wise? I'm fairly committed to owning/maintaining Buells for (among other things) keeping great examples of Erik's engineering on the road for the long haul, regardless of whether or not some version of Buell/EBR is in business.
That said, after this weeks hellish experience working on the Yamaha for a friend, I want to know what I'm signing up for if I decide to do the EBR thing as well at some point.

Been flawless so far :up: Just a service reminder at 600 miles. Oil change is easy (2 drain plugs) and clean, Chain slack (30mm) hadn't moved, and I'm sure the factory wanted a valve lash check (engine rotate) for the first year bikes especially. I'll get to that:upset: I believe it's shim under bucket and they're super rock solid. I've yet to have to adjust any motor under 30k miles, but I will check it though as a sign of future issues.
I like this bike a LOT. In 20 years 2037(!!!) if I need a part I can't find, I'll have my robot buddy make me one with Mr. Fusion.

vicenzajay,
I have 14,000mi on my RX. The only major was having the valves re-shimmed. That was after 9000 mi-supposed to be done at 6000. That was a $500 job including an oil/filter change. It definitely needed to be done as all the valves were all out of spec. Some wag on here referred to it is a "horsepower tax"--true enough. Complex job.
Aside from that -- well I raised the bars and as on all my chain drive bikes added a Loobman oiler. On my third set of tires, this time Metzeler road tecs. They were put on at 12,000 mi and are wearing very well. I had the oil changed at 12,000 also and just checked it this morning after a "brisk" 1200 mile burn--same levels as when put in but a little blacker.
So knock wood and so far so good etc.

All good info....the valve re-shim is the only thing I wouldn't be familiar with in this case. Hopefully that's a thing just about any indy tech can do?
Opto, you have 14K on an RX? You win the hard-taint award:up:
V: $500 for a valve adjust and oil change every 6000 miles is really reasonable (Ever own a DUCATI??). Ya any decent shop should be able to do it. Nothing special about the EBR that they can't youtube:stupid: I'd consider having them do it, if I trusted anyone to touch my stuff...

A better question would have been "how is" the seat height...sorry.
I find specs don't always tell the full story. Let me ask it this way - for those of you who ride (have ridden) a Firebolt, how does the seat height compare?

You'll need Black Lightning.
All,
I don't know if this is common knowledge but there is a cool site www.cycle-ergo.com That site is great for figuring out all the human body geometry relative to any bike.
Yes Cooter, I might be considered a high miler. Seems every place I like to cruise to is 500+miles away. I do not ride much locally-just too much heat in this neighborhood and my work is only 3 miles from my house. I use the XB for that around town stuff.
