I really thought that there would be riders wanting to do this? Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||
| M1combat |
I'm sure there are, give it some time. | ||
| Austinrider |
Im interested, but with Xmas coming up I may have to wait to place the order until closer to the end of the sale. Looks good. Can you do somethign similar with an S to R front end conversion? | ||

Daves, Maybe the '03 XB'ers are half hoping for a recall, ya think? Or waiting for their belt to break before doing something about it? | ||
| 03xb9r |
can you run it without the plastic gaurds and not worry about belts breaking? | ||

dave is otherwise known as santa claus..... craig is the elf and i am the stall cleaner way to go dave that is a great deal | ||

Maybe the '03 XB'ers are half hoping for a recall, ya think? Or waiting for their belt to break before doing something about it? Between those reasons & the fact that it's the holiday season & money is probably tight due to buying gifts for everyone & their brother, I think you are dead on target. | ||

Dave, I want the kit bad, but like others I will probably have to wait a while. Can you see if they will do a New Years sale instead. Maybe for the month of January? If not, I will do my best to come up with the scratch. Morgan | ||
| Daves |
Prof_stack I wouldn't hold my breath for any "recall" on the 03 belts, if properly handled they work fine. 03XB9R I, in my "official" I work for a dealership role,can't recommend that you run it or any belt without the "approved" guards in place. What you do on your own is, well, your business. Bubba, Get out there and clean those stalls, Rudolph has the runs! Dyna, I understand what time of year it is, that's why I put it on sale. I also know what happens to Buell parts sales here in Iowa this time of year(winter) and just want to keep up the volume for the parts dept. Dblhaulxb9s Tell you what,call me on Dec 31st(we close at 4pm), put the kit on your CC and you still won't have to pay for it til the end of Jan. Ride to the edge! Home of the Buell Santa!

put the kit on your CC and you still won't have to pay for it til the end of Jan. Daves you think of EVERYTHING !!! By the way, who is Rudolph ?? Maybe the little elf should clean the stalls, give Bubba a break !! CJ  | ||
| Buckinfubba |

I saw a chain used in place of the belt on a race setup of the firebolt. What is the difference? Cons and pros to belts or a chain. | ||
| Mikej |
Chain drive lets you change your final drive ratio much easier as long as you have the axle adjustment or don't mind chain slop/slack. Chains are also less fragile due to "improper" handling but will also break when you least want them to just like belts will. Using/converting to chain drive will most likely void your warranty though. Just thought I'd throw that one in. 8) | ||

and cost you close to two grand.... | ||

Bubba, your so damn funny, you entertain the hell out of me !!! CJ | ||

I knew that'd get ya all hot....BTW sometimes I do in the bed of an ol rusted lifted 4 wheel drive pick up truck with ark. plates.... now get yer hands off yerself | ||
| Misato |
I'm going to do it but can't this month $$$$ run the sale again in march!!! | ||
| Bradj |
Oddly enough...there seems to be a relationship between winter Buell parts sales in Iowa and the number of warm days in Arkansas.  Let's just say that the only curve my new Buell has failed to negotiate successfully was my own rather steep learning curve in a gravel parking lot.   | ||

I rode next to a 2003 GSXR not too long ago and was surprised by all the noise from the chain. thought something was wrong with it. | ||

Daves- Blaster asking an XB question: I see what's in the kit, but what does it *do* for the '03 XBs? Better, faster, more reliable, able to leap tall buildings with a single bound?  Thanks! | ||
| Cj_xb |
Keep an eye out for that big brown truck. I forgot today, didn't get home in time, but will check again tomorrow Daves !! This thread is beginning to remind me of home !! CJ  | ||

All it does for the 03s is "upgrade?" to the new, thicker less likely to be mishandled belt. No change in performance. Some riders have been spitting belts while others have the same belt with 20,000 hard miles(Sam) on them. Swapping has been brought up several times so I thought I'd do a "one time deal" to make it over 200.00 cheaper to swap belts if the rider feels it is needed. That's all. I'm staying with the stock 03 setup on my soon to be done 9R on steroids. Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

Dave, Dave, Dave....you are an evil man to flaunt this temptation in front of me! I'm with Misato on this one, how 'bout March? (or February if that's a slow parts month). People will have tax refunds burning holes in their pockets. Evaddave: biggest difference (to me anyway) 03 belt change interval is 15,000 miles. 04 belt change interval is 25,000 miles. The upgrade will pay for itself by 62,000 miles!  | ||
| Daves |
Good point Chainsaw, I can't believe I didn't come up with that  It was also pointed out to me that you can get the "kit" with the fancy diamond cut sprocket for only about 5.00 more! Thanks Lyle. Ride to the edge! dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

Sold two kits so far! Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

If mine breaks between now and the Dec 31, I will get one. I believe mine is one of the sturdy ones. I can’t see any wear. In addition, I still have warranty till next September! It is tempting. Thanks, Santa Dave. | ||
