Author Message   Bcp Posted on Friday, January 13, 2012 - 11:53 pm:        Hi, doing the XB swing arm swap on my M2. What is the best pulley tooth count (front and rear) and belt configuration? Also what about for a chain conversion? Does anyone have a pic of what they did for a belt tensioner? Thank in advance.   Littlebuggles Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 06:54 am:        Joesbuell in Australia put a XB swing arm on his pre 99 model s3 a few years ago. Seems like he kept the belt drive though. Will have to see if I can find you a link to the archived thread, his photo journal and notes on the project were pretty extensive.   Bcp Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 10:06 am:        Thanks Mr. Bugby, Any help would be appreciated.   Brinnutz Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 11:48 am:        http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR= 1&v=IPuppDLjLyA Here's what it'll look like with it...It was a lot of work iirc.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 04:08 pm:        try the search function http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/267160.html Bcp are you mounting also a xb shock or staying with the tuber shock and customize the xb swingarm!?   Bcp Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 05:41 pm:        XB shock. Found it. Looks like I will be using a Uly/Ss 135T belt the 26/55T pulley combo Thanks. Thanks guys!   Brinnutz Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 05:57 pm:        Any photos of your progress?   Bcp Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 06:15 pm:        This is what I got so far. Presently getting the spacers made. Should be able to mount the swing arm next week when the shock comes in. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/disc us.cgi?pg=next&topic=47623&page=613195   Brinnutz Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 07:35 pm:        What are you doing for the frame shock mount?   Bcp Posted on Saturday, January 14, 2012 - 08:20 pm:        Weld a plate across the two top bars and then two vertical brackets. Similar to Jody's. Won't know for sure until I mock everything up.   Purpony Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 - 11:33 am:        You can weld in the factory pulley holes and re-drill it to the XB pattern to keep the stock 61 tooth.... or you could make a pulley like i did that is factory tuber 61 tooth- (Message edited by purpony on January 15, 2012)   Littlebuggles Posted on Sunday, January 15, 2012 - 09:20 pm:        Effen hot, that thing is just as sexy now as when you did the thing!!! It's easy to forget the detail work that went into your bike when you see it on the whole, because it's so cleanly put together.
