Here it is. After 2 1/2 months of downtime its finally done. Rides like a bat out of hell and handles quite a bit better with the stabilizer. Got a de-noid on the agenda this weekend too(even Jardine recommends it). Anyways, I thought I would share it with the Buell community.

GPRV4 Steering Stabilizer
K&N Air Filter
Jardine Pro-Tune 3
Jardine RT-5 Titanium Slip-On
Jardine SS Fender Eliminator
Zero Gravity Black SR Windscreen
Catalyst Racing Composites Body Kit
Glacier White paint from Other Side Customs
Danny Eslick Signature on passenger cowl
Buell Frame Pucks
Buell Tank Protector
2010 Black Rear Header Heatshield
2010 Instrument Cluster
2010 Clutch Cover
Also went ahead and wrapped the headers and pipe with Thermotec heat wrap.

I like the racing body kit, but I think it needs a couple of Buell logos or something to break it up. I'm not saying it needs to be overwhelmed with logos, but I've never been a terribly big fan of solid-color bikes.

Very nice nonetheless.

Also, who did you have tune the Jardine Protune, or did you go with a canned tune?

Funny you say that my wife wants the blue tank decals. I want to get the same buell decals that the RR has on the shrouds but get them custom made in diamond blue like the frame. I think that should be enough for now. As far as the tune goes it's the jardine base map which was used when they dynoed it with the pipe, protune, and filter. It will take me a couple weeks before I get decals made though. I will order the airbox decals.

i know that multi coloured bikes arent to eveyones liking.. but this ones mine, and i've wanted to use a blue digital camo on one for a while now .. i've always painted them in the past, but wrapping is much cheaper and easier to remove back to the plain white..

Nice. I like it how all the pieces still flow together. The EBR logos look good too, really like what Erik did with the pegasus. I am really reluctant to get rid of the belt guards. Kinda afraid I will get a rock lodged between the belt and sprocket. I like the look though.

Eh, I'm not one to care about stuff like that. As far as I'm concerned he should thank you for the free advertisement whether you bought stuff from him or not. Still you got a great lookin bike.

Nice bike Redliner. I snuck into the shop at Longhorn a few weeks ago and got a sneak peek of it. It was tough to really appreciate the custom paint in the fluorescent lights of the shop, hope I can see it in the sun someday.

I hope my old plastics are working out well for you Jared. And florescent lights dont do it justice at all.

Your old plastics were perfect for the track this weekend. A LOT of people were going down, so I was glad to have them. Luckily I stayed up the whole time.

Anyway, I've got some great plans for the old plastics, I'll post an update when they're done.

I would like to know which frame pucks were used and if they fit correctly.
