Mine is going to have a Drummer, and a chin spoiler.

I just hate the stock muffler, don't you?

with a little shaping and a different exit i think the exhaust can look pretty good...

after tweaking

I like the exhaust with the two holes exiting out the side of the muffler. Not entirely practical but very cool idea.

Great work Typeone.

I'd rather see your version

The stock pods do look like an afterthought.

If the front fairing turned down at the same angle as the pods it might blend too. Problem to me is that the bottom of the front fairing and top of the pods are next to each other and have completely different lines. IMO.

I must say, from the front it looks great.

Matt and Al:

Start making Typone's design and you'll sell them as aftermarket items.

I'm not so sure I like the exhaust gases exiting onto around or near the rear brake disc. I think there's potential for it to be contaminated with oil residue and whatever else is exhausted. Does this model now have a catalytic converter? If so, they produce H20. I'm not sure if I want oily mist blowing all over the rear brake. I'm sure the new drummer will fix this. *nudge*

Clinton,
That tweaked passenger footpeg bracket looks impossibly cool!

I sincerely doubt there is going to be any oil mist out of this bike to contaminate your pads.

I'd like to see it with this tailsection and hard bags:





If I like the bike when it's released, I'll be making the conversion myself.

I really hope someone at Buell is seeing all of this. I really want to want the new bike as much as thought I did on day 1 but those rad pods are destroying the bike for me. Please fix it!!!

The lack of radiators on the nekked version might create a few problems

>>>The lack of radiators on the nekked version might create a few problems

Not exactly true . . . you have to understand Italians.

They ride their Buells like the wind, they rent castles on beautiful islands, ride there with beautiful women and drink great wine. . . sleep and ride some more.

When their bikes break, they have a meal. . . a little wine, they fix the bike, they have a huge dinner and ride again the next day.

I'm learning a lot from my Italian Buell Friends.

Gionvani, I'll be there for 3 weeks next June with a contingent of Buell folks . . . better watch out!

Chow for now!

BuellGekk the third picture of the fully faired bike is great. I hope Buell has that version available at one point or at least an add on fairig to purchase.

I'm thinking that the big frame lug, the one about 8" above the brake pedal, should be painted black.

Thanks Jiffy, yes I think it looks much better with full fairing.

I borrowed the fairing from the XBRR and the airscoops are from a Ferrari

Sorry I removed the Yamaha R1 : )
