Author Message   Acejay Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 05:41 pm:        hello everyone. just picked up my 07 xb12r yesterday and loving it so far. got some pics for you all. straight from the dealer, 13 kms on the odo. and now have a mate for the chook chaser. it took some getting used to for the first hour having never ridden a road bike before, but feels lighter in my hands every km that goes by. that fan noise is annoying isn't it!!   Daves Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 05:47 pm:        Congrats on the sweet bike! Make sure the suspension is set up correctly.   Irideabuell Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 06:23 pm:        Congrats!!! The fan will eventually become music to your ears.   Old_man Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 06:30 pm:        Some miles on the bike and synthetic oil will help to make a cooler running engine and the fan won't come on as often. You'll be happy with your bike even when the fan whirrs.   Acejay Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 06:30 pm:        woot, just ordered some frame pucks and axle sliders from american sportsbike. not that im planning on dropping it, but just in case.   Bueaddicted Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2006 - 06:45 pm:        AceJay, congratulations on your new "baby"! I have had mine for a couple weeks, and I love it. The fan does come on quite a lot, but that's because the engine is too tight, I suppose. Good choice in purchasing the pucks and sliders - that's what I did also. Good luck with it.   Acejay Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 05:27 pm:        so ive put about 450kms on it now and its going sweet. i understand why all the bolts have loctite on them now!! it gets loads of attention. buells are pretty rare in australia and everyone wants to stop and talk about the bike. next item on the shopping list is an exhaust pipe, and soon, because that stock muffler is living up to its name extremely well! i think this will have to be shipped from america too as there is not alot of aftermarket parts available in australia. going for a ride down the great ocean road today, which is about the most famous section of road in australia. probably the equivalent of the canyon roads ive read you americans talking about.   Firebolt020283 Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 05:37 pm:        i hate you!!!! (only cuz i like your bike so much an i am gelous) congrats the black and red looks so awsome   Joesbuell Posted on Friday, September 22, 2006 - 07:09 pm:        Hi ace, welcome to the world of Buell awesome colour! I'm up in Queensland if you get the chance go and ride Giles High way in Cairns 220 turns in 19 kilometers (Arm pump any one)   Tunes Posted on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 02:40 am:        Congratulations and welcome! Beautiful bike! I love the red and black combination...
