Well i scored big, i found a local buell racer that had a left over rotor for my bike, Mine was warped. He used to have a cyclone and it got ruined before he mounted this bad boy, brand new for 60 bucks. EBC pro lite. now i have to paint the tank and flyscreen. enjoy        BRAD bluzm2 this is what was on the back of my brake pads.  | ||

Looks really nice, gives me a few ideas for my X1  Brake disc looks cool, very curious to hear what you think of it  | ||

What coating did you use on your frame? | ||
| F_skinner |
That is one great looking bike. Great job! | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
spiderman it is ceremi-chrome powder with a clear, mick i am long and lanky so yes they work well tho i have only gone around the block. | ||
| Spiderman |
Glad you got clear on there, Mine was just that coating and anytime you rubbed it it would turn a dark semi hazy color  | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
spiderman, will you please post me pics of the way that your headlights are wired up? | ||

Looking good there Blake Nice looking oil cooler bracket mate  Cheers Jodie | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Blake, That's looking REAL good! If you have any questions when after you talk to Tony, give me a call. It's should be pretty straight forward. Spidey, did you use relays? Brad | ||

So, I was wondering, how hard is it to tear a tuber down to the frame and rebuild it? I have pretty dang good mechanical skills and all from working on helicopters in the Marines. Im coming home from Iraq in less than two weeks and I need a winter project... Thanks! | ||
| Joesbuell |
It's a piece of piss! Tube frame Buell's have to be the easiest bikes to work on | ||
| Milesvdustin |
Yeah, Ive done things like wrapping my pipes and brake pads and oil changes, but that is as far as I have gotten. I think the only part that would give me the fits would be spreading the frame to get the drivetrain off those isolators. Is it as daunting a task as it seems? | ||
| Joesbuell |
There's no need to spread the frame to get the isolators out, once you have all the bolts etc out you just lift the frame off the engine swingarm assembly. Like I said a piece of piss | ||

Theres the look of a lot of details in that job Blake, and I really like the color of your cases(my X1 is all black)against whatever color you plan on squirting on it...what color would that be if not the burnished gold/red,which by the way picks up light very nicely. | ||
| Milesvdustin |
so what were all those threads about spreading the frame for the isolators? Is that just for removal of them with the frame still attached to the engine? Thanks! | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
that frame spreader crap is for the birds, when doing a teardown/reassemble your best bet is to do the A T C method, search it, its what i did. JSTFRFUN its going to be all black, best looking color on a clean bike. my cases will be powdercoated black next winter. | ||

No need to spread to get the iso's out. Just make sure the front mount is loose with no oil filter and lift off. I rebuilt my bike with no notes, or pictures after it was apart for over a year. At one time there weren't two parts touching each other. Good luck and have fun. I did get good at searching THIS Site! | ||
| Skntpig |
Do you have any other pics of that tach setup? Nice ride. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
looking great but hurry up and get the thing painted. the black up against the frame should look pretty awesome. | ||

I sent the tank to paint on tuesday he said early next week, it will be ready to rock and roll. Question to n e 1 who knows, is there any special tips to remove the big rusty stock front pulley to mount my baker lightweight 26 tooth unit? i have never had one off? it looks like a 1 7/8, use impact gun, heat? i assume the trans has bearings right behind it.... so no pounding? i just dont wanna mess it up now. huh no comments on the lil tank in the bike yet..... more pics very soon!!! | ||
| Joesbuell |
Blake I have one of those 26T pulley's from Baker myself. I just used a rattle gun whilst the belt was still on to hold it, remembering that the nut is left hand threaded. You should not need any heat on it, plus there is a seal behind there that may not like it either! Why are you going so low on the gearing? I only had to use that pulley because of my extended wheel base, I'm running a 55T rear pulley. Use some red loctite when you put it back together too as they can come loose. Cheers Jodie | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
just want to have more acceleration. | ||
| Phelan |
yeah I'm surprised no one mentioned anything about the NOS tank on there... Is it gonna be functional? Which kit did you use? How much did it run ya? | ||
| Joesbuell |
Just a catch can methinks | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
jodies got it |
