G'day from Oz  Here's a couple of pictures of the Buell as it is at the moment, I've just fitted dome Street Rod foot pegs. These pictures are taken at Kings Beach, Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. Enjoy Jodie The second and third picture's down you can see the Glass House Mountains, they are not far from Steve Irwins Australia zoo...A bit of trivia for ya     | ||

Joe, I hope they have a desk waiting for you in East Troy, so you can make more of those. It's beautiful. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
good to know your still around jodie. how's the bike run and how is it handling. +1 on what benm2 said. best looking custom job there's ever been. | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
yes! The good guys win one for a change! I love your bike. You worked hard for it | ||
| Joesbuell |
Thank you all  Neil it's going awesome! I've done 8500klm's since having it back on the road. My butt is even getting used to the seat or lack of! It handles excellent! some of the local Buell forum guys can vouch for that. I wore out the 180 Dunlop Sportmax, I then purchased a new Dunlop Qualifier, wore that out in 4000k's I now have my old 170/60-17 Michelin Pilot Power it now turns in really nice with this tyre. I'm planning to do a single sided swing arm, using a Triumph Speed triples swing arm a Honda VFR rear axle and a 17x7 4x100 P.C.D BSA car wheel running a 190/60-17 tyre. It should look TUFF! When I have sorced all I need I will surely keep the BadWEb informed... Cheers Jodie  | ||

Buell Should bring back the Tuber!! and this it what it should look like!!!! | ||
| Nevrenuf |
just got goosebumps. can't wait to see you start it. there's a new guy from oz that just started posting. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/681 7/371628.html?1214479346 | ||

Buell Should bring back the Tuber!! and this it what it should look like Not in my eyes.This hybrid is a nice piece of work,no question,but tubers are most beautiful just the way they are/were made in their basic design. Especially the swingarm/shock section as well as the front end are visual an absolute no-go to me. I´ve no intention to be impolite,but this my personal point of view. I don´t like the look of those parts on the XBs also. Ralph (Message edited by Xldevil on June 26, 2008) | ||

Good lookin' bike, love the color combo. I really want to see pics with the single sided swingarm. It'll be even cooler than it is now. Long live the tuber. | ||
| S2tbolt |
Well done mate  | ||
| Djkaplan |
That's just insane... but in the best possible way. I really thought the bike was going to turn out to be a mess at first, but I obviously underestimated Jodie's fabrication skills and outstanding taste. He could see it before he built it. I love the color too, and this is only time I ever thought the twin XB headlights and flyscreen looked really good. Bravo, man... bravo! | ||
| Djkaplan |
"I don´t like the look of those parts on the XBs also. Ralph" I'm with you there Ralph, but in this context, it doesn't offend my sensibilities nearly as much. That white and orange color combo should have been a factory offering... looks really good, Jodie. | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
i vote for a Uly grill on the headlights!! | ||
| Ackme |
Exceptional job! What do you call it now? It started as an S2 didn't it? | ||
| Joesbuell |
Ralph "but tubers are most beautiful just the way they are/were made in their basic design." If Buell should stay as it was designed, then why have you altered yours so much? A bit hypocritical don't you think? You must have not liked the "Look or the original rear shock also?"...Here's a list of how stock your M2 is! M2: Short S1 carbon tail section(frame modified),S1 Corbin solo seat Carbon inner fender Carbon front fender Catchcan,(automotive). peg relocation(Billet4race), LSL shifter, Lightened(Luckyhands) sprocket(zinced) and pulley(X-Race)(27/61). Lightened engine sprocket. XB version belt Bypassed and eleminated kickstand switch,POP sensor and BAS sensor. CRG brake/clutch levers . Progressive front fork springs by Wilbers. Wilbers Pro Race "push conversion" shock Buell traktion handgrips Pegasus derby and point cover. "Kellermann" bar-end turn signals. "Kellermann" micro turn signals rear end. Bar-end mirrors Braided steel cables(clutch,Idle and Throttle)by Motion Pro.Charging LED Indicator Hawker PC545MJ batterie Batterie cables by Yoopercables LSL Superbike bar Need I say more? I personally like the look of all Buell's past and present(1125R is growing on me) I personalized my Buell to how I saw it should be, And going by all the request for information and parts...some like it! I'm sorry you don't like my bike, I like the look of yours even if it is not as Erik designed it! Jodie | ||
| Joesbuell |
It started as an 1998 S3T Amazon green. G'day Blake hows your M2 going mate? I'd like the grill on there too | ||
| Nevrenuf |
jodie, i'm sure even erik is in awe with what you've done with your bike. and you know what they say about opinions, just like butt holes, every ones got one and they all stink. i wish i had that talent. | ||
| Joesbuell |
"and you know what they say about opinions, just like butt holes, every ones got one and they all stink." Thats Gold  | ||

i will get the camera and get some pics up friday i am close to complete, i need to put oil in it and get a paintjob and a new rotor and i am good to go!!! | ||
| Nevrenuf |
hopt it turned out as good as joes blake. looking forward to it. | ||
| Guell |
I need more spare $$$ before i can do my xb wheels on my m2. Hopefully in the next few months! | ||
| Xldevil |
Jodie,I talked about the basic design of tubers,not keeping every tiny little screw original.That is a big difference in my opinion. Suum cuique-if you do like your bike,nobody else has to.No need to be offended,even though I´m pretty sure you will deny that you are.Like I said before,I´ve no intention to debase you or your work. Ralph | ||

Jodie I am doing my X3 now (X1 frame and every thing to make it go off my S3) Your bike is the best modfied tuber I have ever seen. I will have to Hide the S3 frame in the shed to build it soumthing like yours. Hope you don't mind. | ||
| Grovskopa |
White's the new black!! | ||
| Nevrenuf |
 this is what i think of when i see jodie's bike but actually with the reverse color scheme. one of the greatest muscle cars ever built. | ||
| Joesbuell |
Thanks guys and Wayne I don't mind if you do make sure you keep us posted  I've been drooling over the NRHS catalog... 1430cc, XB stage 3 heads 130rwhp and 105foot pound of torque mmmmmmmmmm! And a Baker 6 speed $$$$$$$ How do I tell the wife I neeeed this? | ||
| Not_purple_s2 |
Easy, you just say you have to make the motor as unique and badass as the rest of the bike. That is by far my favorite custom Buell of all time. Awesome work! | ||
| Wile_ecoyote |
Absolutely stunning Joe, thanks for the great pics. Impeccable work you've done shows what pride you have in that Buell.  |
