That's not news...

 

[94RS]

I'd ride the fuck out of this

 

[R13]

Looking at the seat, then looking where the bars are I can just imagine the palm/wrist pain that thing would cause :lol:

It does look sweet though

 

[94RS]

Nothing a Firebolt triple clamp couldn't fix.

 

[94RS]

So my heat shield was special order, and the clamps for it look like nothing more than some shitty hose clamps you'd find at lowes for 50 cents... How the fuck are those back ordered til the 8th and the heat shield isn't :rolf:

 

[R13]

How the fuck will those not rot off from the ridiculously high temps? :lol:

 

[94RS]

:what: No idea.


Uly guys seem to run them for 70-80k without failure though :what:

 

[R13]

Maybe they're stainless or something

 

[94RS]

Even if they're shit, I work for a plating shop :lol:

 

[94RS]

So I ordered new signals when the bike was in the shop because my old ones were beat to s***.... And the f***ing part numbers that Twin Motorcycles (OEM Buell parts distributor in the Netherlands) lists gives signals with two different colored lenses.



My originals were smoked









And then I clean the f***ing thing to go riding, and 5mins later it's overcast as s*** and pouring rain not long after that :lol: Can't f***ing win :rolf:

Italian signals on an American bike? :lol:

Remember... It's a Buell, not a Harley. He would've rather had companies in other countries make quality parts than be "all 'murican" like HD's China-made, no name parts that only work half the time

This is a pretty good picture of what I mean.

Japanese swingarm with an Italian frame :lol:

Shame buell got shut down, EBR's just ain't the same.

But at least there's plenty of XB's around for dirt cheap :mrgreen:

That's because Harley still owns the majority of Buell patents... Fuckers. :lol:

 

[R13]

As if they're gonna use em :roll:
