Got the bike back last week... and besides the missing frame puck (they don't have any in stock) the bike is back in my garage, and as of a few hours ago... now has a new look, and sound to it.

















It looks a little "flat black", but I assure you it is glossy.
I did everything myself (painting).

I love the look of the airbox, and it not only looks better than stock, but it's hiding the FAST system underneath.

Airbox and FAST System are supplied by HillBilly-Motors, very nice people and I would recommend them to anyone!
I am sending the airbox out this winter to get professionally done so it will look a lil'better come next season.

Edit - Looks "streaky" because I had just rode it from one garage to another in the rain, and I just wiped the drops off.

While I was at my dealer for them to fix their mistake (putting a Dunlop on instead of my Michelin PP) I stumbled upon these on their rack... of course I purchased them.




They have a large selection of Buell apparel at their store, but everything is so darn expensive (Damn Euro). But these were CHEAP, and they were the only ones they had remaining.

Nice... I have one of those T-shirts : ). I got it LONG before I had a Buell and just kept it around. I wore it to Daytona this year and the first person that mentioned it was Court... I think I actually won the "oldest t-shirt contest" : ).

Looks great! I like the vents in the airbox.
Do you know where I can get a couple of the pegasus emblems? I would like to get a couple in reflective tape for my sidecases.

Pam,
Those aren't emblems, I painted those on. I've seen a few pegasus decals on ebay though, maybe look there.

M1,
I figured they were old, and were hard to come by, thats why I bought them.

I'll try to get some better pictures if the rain subsides sometime.

List for FAST is 298,00 Euro
List for Airbox is 299,00 Euro

This is per the HillBilly-Motors 2006 Catalog. As well, I believe all the prices listed within contain 16% tax (German Tax).




Thanks Brian!

In order to get accurate up to the minute pricing I would recommend contacting Jens from HillBilly-Motors directly, through the Sponsors section. He is a class act and would have no problem explaining anything to you.

Maybe you have some trouble reading what I posted.

Let me reiterate. From Above...

List for FAST is 298,00 Euro
List for Airbox is 299,00 Euro

This is per the HillBilly-Motors 2006 Catalog. As well, I believe all the prices listed within contain 16% tax (German Tax).

Maybe you should try to completely read everything before you try to put others down with your remarks.

And even if I did pay 600$ for an airbox, what is it to you? I work DAMN HARD for my finances, and will do with them what I please.
