Author Message   Zxzer04 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 07:36 pm:        Hi guys, Thanks all for the welcome back. I have a lot on my plate right now so sometimes it may take a while for me to respond. I have some work to do on my bolt also, needs a tune up and the TPS reset. Anyway, I hope everyone has a safe and fun trip to Badness. Everyone ride safe and have lots of fun. Larry   Rubberdown Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 08:40 pm:        Looks good Spike. I hit my headers with Mother's metal polish. They shined right up in a matter of minutes. Smelled a little funny for a while on start-up.   1313 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 09:40 pm:        Spike, I'm leaving Friday morning, but ain't really planning to head to the Raleigh area. Heck, I'm not even sure how (meaning route, obviously I will be riding the XT) I'm gonna get there yet, so who knows? Lot's to do before then... 1313   1313 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 11:37 pm:        New12r, U4euh, Twig, and everyone else interested- I took a test ride tonight in preparation for this weekend! OOOOOOH YEAHHHHHH! Hmmm, makes me wonder about mixing with kool aid.... Everytime I have some I am always remembered why it's my favorite* But I digress... Imported from the liquor store next to the Vortex, after being brought back to and from a place near the Eastern seaboard in North Carolina... and the supporting cast: & 1313 * my favorite brand that is sold in the states   1313 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 11:45 pm:        Hey! How many of you have noticed this yet? Not the fact that Ray Price is a sponsor. The fact that the banner is pretty darned cool! Keep it up MTB! 1313   Mikethebike72 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 07:46 am:        Thanks Brankin. Enjoy the green fairy at Badness. I wish I could have went, but I may be able to actually ride my bike this weekend. I don't have all the details yet, but we are working on having a Buell Demo Day on April 26th, just got to get approval for all the things we want to do along with the demos. Everyone, have a great time at Badness. I will be going to Buelltoberfest.   U4euh Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:49 am:        Spike those headers look good!!! Mike W.-can you help me polish mine......... ... ... .. . . . . .. waiting waiting? See if they get this one   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 10:59 am:        I'll tell ya what U4, I'll give you some of the polishing stuff, a rag, and show ya how it's done.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 12:21 pm:        This just posted: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/171 43/347180.html?1206461806 I hate to be so vague in the posting, but wanted to give plenty of time for people to plan on coming while we hammer out the details. It would be great to have a huge turn out. I also need some volunteers to help with the demo rides and to man a couple of items such as the raffle box, the possible video game shootout, and some of the displays. Any takers?   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 12:41 pm:        I'm not doing the Tour De Georgia gig so looks like I can be there! Can't wait!   New12r Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 04:06 pm:        1313, I AM IN FOR SURE!! U4EUH, Polish your header, ummmmm.....sure!   Seeinstars Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 04:35 pm:        attn: Jlnance hey jim, this is mike, Sportymark's buddy. he told me you were interested in a xb9s primary gear and chain. I just so happen to have one laying around collecting dust. Mark said that he'll probably put it on, so we could get put a small meet together to put it on maybe. I need a belt for mine, but not sure when I'll buy one. I need one badly. I'm leaving for paris france in the morning and will be gone till next thursday. We can meet up sometime after that. And maybe some the locals guys from here could meet up too. We could do it at my house if needed. I've got some of the buell specialty tools like the primary gear lock, and a huge torque wrench, but I don't have the socket. -ernie   Jlnance Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 05:45 pm:        Seeinstars - Thanks for the note! Yes, I need the gear/chain, I'd love to buy yours, or, if you prefer, I have a used belt I'll swap you for it. I just ordered the parts, other than the gear and chain, so your timing is excellent. They should be here next week. Do you know what size socket is needed? I will have a gear lock too, I ordered it yesterday. It's an expensive little thing.   Seeinstars Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 07:46 pm:        not sure what the size of the nut is. I might could look it up in my service manual when I get back. Or if I get a chance before I leave for paris.   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:27 pm:        I've got some big metric sockets. I might have the one you need.   Rubberdown Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:27 pm:        I might have the one you need. Post the size.   Sportymark Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 10:24 pm:        I know I have the one for the sporty....can't remember the size... yeah Mike (Seinstars) has the right big torque wrench!   Seeinstars Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 10:41 pm:        it doesn't say the size of the socket in the service manual, but it has pictures and it doesn't look any bigger then a 19mm, (well I know it would be standard not metric, but around that size maybe) The belt that you have, is it the newer style?   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 05:27 am:        Yes, it's an 06 Uly belt.   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 06:22 am:        Painted floor.   Seeinstars Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 07:22 am:        why'd you replace it if it was the newer style?   Jlnance Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 08:10 am:        Seeinstars - I replaced the belt before my trip to homecoming last July. I just didn't want to go off on a multi thousand mile trip and worry about the belt. It had 22k on it when I replaced it. It was just a piece of mind thing. I also liked the idea of having a spare around.   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 08:37 am:        Does anyone have a link to the pictures from Buelltoberfest? They seem to have scrolled away, deep into the archives.   Mikethebike72 Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 09:00 am:        http://www.incorrect.org/coppermine/thumbnails.php ?album=29 Jim, here you go. Rebecca from the store said thanks for the props. Everyone enjoy Badness and come back safe.   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 09:34 am:        Thanks Mike   Spike Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 12:35 pm:        My brother-in-law is trying to sell his 2007 Superduke: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/619119790.html   Jlnance Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 06:35 pm:          Bigdaddy Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 08:05 pm:        Sportymark, Which 3" are you running on your WRX? Jim, If ya'll need any tools let me know and I'll have them with me on any Friday you may need them -- same location as last time. You folks be careful in the Glitch World of North GA. I've gotta go make some bank to keep the IRS off my butt.   Spike Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 10:47 pm:        Bags are packed, alarm is set. I'll see you guys at MBV.   Ram Posted on Friday, March 28, 2008 - 06:46 am:        Nance just left -- he'll be there this afternoon. TJ and I are leaving about noon -- be there late evening. Woo hoo!!
