I drilled 2 inch hole with holesaw then drilled 3/8 hole as many as i could i cute right across from outlet so i could put 2 inch elbow in or just weld in 2 inch peace if not like but this is great run better now will pickup front end in second just roll on would not before seem to run much better every were sound nice not loud but not like little pus;;y wagon ..sound more like old 650 twin ..seem to run good do i need to have anything rest for fuel ?  | ||

Now it has little rumble at idle ..seem to run as good ..if not better but maybe leaner on back hole.Does any know do you need to rest any or take to dealer have reset to make it learn to run well with pipe more eopen,I do not want to roar of a very loud bike.but i do want to hear it | ||

The bike will learn on its own | ||

Looks good! Did you use some sort of template to drill the holes? | ||
| Djz |
it is just random i was going to take out completly and put elbow in but it sound so nice i may leave... but a elbow will hide all so may weld one on..it very simple and seem to work make sound much better | ||

I went on a sports bike ride last night so many fast Jap bikes .I saw one guy set on fuel tank feet over handle bars and go buy on rear wheel ..at about 80 miles a hour what a trip.i had fun .i would of love to get a picture of that . | ||

Just cut the stock elbow off and put two matching salami cut pipes on so they'll match. Kinda like the Buell race pipe. | ||

Ok. I gotta ask... Do they charge for punctuation on badweb now? I had a mini-seizure reading your posts. It says ur from Oregon In your profile. Is there another Oregon outside of the U.S? But back to the exhaust. It's a good idea. I think an elbow on there would clean it up. Too bad you couldn't get a tip to match the other side. | ||

OMG, you guys are killin' me... I gotta come here more often! | ||

Ok so i did bad sorry will work on my grammar.. just thought it was a good idea should share .. I think the ulysses motorcycle is one of the worst sounding bike made and funny it is a nice sounding motor if given a chance .Here is something you will like a cheap way to keep bike were you left it simple easy to carry and works!  | ||

Hasn't that been known to break swingarms if forgotten about and left on? | ||

I have a rotor lock for the front tire. God do i fear the day that someone tries to operate the bike with that on. They will be pulling asphalt out of their chin for days | ||

I have a Disc lock that I put on my front wheel. Usually if I forget it, it's while I'm just rolling it in the parking lot so i just softly bumps the front brake. One time I put in on while in the back of my truck. I forgot about it and put a nice crack in my Carbon front fender. Bummer.... | ||

From what I have seen, there is a killswitch style coil cord attached to the new rotor locks that you string up to your handlebar to help remind you that it is attached. I would guess that would be what a person would need to remind them that it is in place. | ||

Sorry, I just have to:   | ||

One could add a length of thin cable (or anything flexible really) to the cheap solution proposed in this thread to accomplish nearly the same thing. If all it there for is to remind us that we have a lock on the rotor... | ||

Bombardier posted a picture in this thread ( http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/462842.html ). Here it is if you don't want to go there:  It can get ugly fast. | ||

Do not ever put a lock on the rotor. DAHIK - Bentrotor | ||

omg id rather my bike be stolen, at least then i wouldnt have to fix it myself lol. | ||

I use a front rotor lock, with the coily, bright orange, "hey dummy" reminder cable wrapped around the throttle grip. *Since I got the cable* (the important phrase), I haven't had to buy a rotor. FLH rotors are pricey, though....the Dummy Cable was MUCH cheaper. | ||
| Nadz |
Ditto what Bentrotor and Ratbuell sez. I use a big orange rotor lock and have forgotten to take it off a couple of times. Only thing that saved me is that I never romp on it with cold tires. A lock would have chewed something up and probably gotten wedged. | ||
| Randomchaos |
Reminder cables ftw! | ||

Unless you can lock the bike to something that doesn't move it's more or less a waste of time. A Buell only weights around 400 pounds, right? A friend of mine got off his full dresser, went into a store to get a pack of smokes, well a truck pulled up beside his bike four guys jumped out grabbed it and tossed it in back and hauled you know what before he could get outside...20 FOOT away. His ride was over 700 pounds easy. | ||

i keep insurance, if they want my bike that bad let em have it.... i'll get a new one. in a perfect world they'd only steal bikes with bald tires that are overdue for service calls, have charging issues, and screamin wheel bearings | ||
| Werewulf |
ive tried leaving my key in it at night and no takers.. we have a bunch of lazy thieves around my place.. | ||
| Nuerburgringer |
To buy such a pricey bike, and then resort to such horribly unsophisticated/untested mods, makes my skin crawl. If noise is one's sole ambition, yada yada yada... | ||
| Djz |
And here i thought it was very cheap in price bottom basement bargin..also it run better and no down side even sound like a motorcycle now ..much better than a popcorn maker | ||
| Brandon_m |
What's wrong with popcorn? | ||
| Gunut75 |
Popcorn isn't loud enough! But, tastes great, less filling, etc. !!! | ||

I'm all about people trying different things to try and achieve better performance. If I were smart enough I'd give it a shot. Imagine where'd we'd be if nobody decided to improve upon the wheel.... or popcorn? |
