What did you do for your Buell today?

[xb12rs]

reassembled the motor after getting heads and cylinders back from nhrs. set the frame on it yesterday. waiting on bearings for swingarm and steering stem.

Put an S tail on my R last night. Not 100% sure if I like it yet. I need a tail chop, paint, and seat cowl to really finish it off is my guess. And of course, thanks nrankin for the tail!

I really like those blinkers therealou!! ...

Last night I put an integrated taillight on my 9er and cleaned up A LOT of the previous owners ****** attempt at wiring and hairbrained ideas that he abandoned ... I'm convinced more and more every time I find crap he tried to do and failed that he was literally retarded ... I also put new passenger footpeg detent hardware on, fixed my shift linkage with fresh parts from ASB, and went through the bike from front to back and put some dielectric grease on all the connections I could find to help waterproof them ...

 

[Christer]

Wow, Nrankin !! Thats one cool airbox. Where did you buy it ??

 

[therealou]

Thanks Negative! Wish I could take credit but they were on when I bought the bike. They are cool except when at a four way stop they're hard to see from head on.

I shopped for an 1125R track bike.

Geez! I wish someone warned me about this addiction!!!!

Finally drill and tapped my rear spools to 8mm since I snapped the 6mm bolt inside the hole when I crashed at the track. I like this better because since these are bigger they keep the stand from scratching the swingarm and the larger plastic will provide more protection in a crash! Hoping the plastic breaks before the bolt snaps though...

This was fixed for 34$ vs buying spooled sliders from 50dro (no offensive 50)

My bike seems to be running hotter this year than last, tho that could all be in my mind. But I finally broke down and bought the Uly RSS, it arrived yesterday and since it was raining all day I had to wait till this morning to install it.

Something I noticed when taking off the stock piece is that it had melted some near the rear header pipe since the beginning of the season.

None taken...

Can't tell from the pic but is the spool supported behind it or will the bolt take the brunt of the impact? It would be best if you had a washer that is profiled to the swing-arm so that the spool can be tightened to it more solidly. Just my 2 cents...

 

[03Firebolt9R]

Added some 1 inch drop pegs. My age is starting to show.

 

[Sirius815]

Man I want a CR so bad!!!

Wired up the 1125r mirrors on my firebolt today They look a lot brighter than the stockers (which I did leave connected).

 

[neilrl79]

I'm attempting to alleviate some of the nut roasting with some self adhering insulation.

[thrstrmech]

helped theycallmecrash build up his Firebolts' engine

 

[Xb12sLt]

Put the tailbag on my wife got me for a b-day present. Man I love my bike.....uhhh wife

 

[Jonny Black]

Noticed I needed some pads for the front so ordered some EBC's for it, but what I didn't notice was that the PO stripped the head out on the hex bolt really bad. so made a 3 minute brake job turn into 60 minutes. ohwell, could have been worse.

success

also, due to some good previews, I thought I would give these a shot.

peace

[neilrl79]

Johnny Black, what kind of grips are they and where did see the reviews?

 

[Jonny Black]

spider grips

rode with them for a couple of miles today (damn florida rain season) and noticed a huge difference, so far I really like them very soft, kinda like gripping bread dough...lol
