Skeletal, is the word that springs to my mind. | ||
| Mighty_mouse |
That's evil looking. I'm sure there's a buyer out there. | ||

Fox what gives? What about tge turbo deisel el camino? Really love your bike though. | ||
| Foximus |
Man... Through a series of events, the oil pump went out, and took out a bunch or different random things. I'm waiting on my new turbo to arrive. Just thinking I need to slim down my bike inventory. Took the buell out for a ride the other day for the first time in a while (a real ride, not just a dink around town ride) and was just really dissapointed in how clunky and junky the thing rode. Meh. I'll be sad if I never get to throw my single sided swing arm on it though... | ||
| Brother_in_buells |
Fox ,you probably ride to much jap bikes thats why the buell feels clunky  You better throw that swingarm on and ride the piss out of it! Bummer about your cummins ,what was the cause that the oilpump went out? | ||
| Lakes |
sorry your parting ways, your bike looks different. i love my Buell & how its runing, i love it's got a carb & love it uses gravity feed with petcock. gives me more to do when i start it & when it goes to run out of Gas i just turn petcock to reserve. thats something new Buell's don't have. good luck | ||

You have the RAM single sided swingarm? | ||
| Rocket_in_uk |
Maybe you need to set your suspension and stuff so it suits your weight and style of riding. Tyre pressure might need adjusting also. These are the things that make the difference between a 'comforatble' Buell and one that feels like a bone shaker. I suspect in your case it's more so the case given the way yours is modified. As it looks it's right up my street and I'd not part with it, but hone it until it's great to ride. Nice looking Buell. Now about that El Camino. Pics please? Rocket in England | ||
| Foximus |
Haha. Of coarse I've been riding too many Jap bikes. Its all I ever end up working on these days. I know it needs a new front tire, and that is seriously hindering what its got. Probably need to revalve the '04 xb forks, as they feel very mushy. And the rear shock is AWFUL. But no way I'm spening $1000 on an aftermarket one. When its time comes i'll just revalve a stock one. Right now I'm working on a bike to murder all bikes. Its gonna be wild. I'm welding up a gas tank right now. When push comes to shove, I probably wont have the balls to list it unless somebody offers me over 5 grand for it. No, its not the RAM swing arm, its a swing arm I built from a Ducati 996. I just never ended up buying a wheel. $500 and up. Long story short.... a rogue washer, got stuck in the cam gear, Chipped a tooth off, that tooth then got jammed in the oil pump. Got it all patched back together and waiting on my turbo which should be here any day now. as for videos... Browse my Channel... youll find some interesting ones there. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHighwayHouse/videos | ||

I am interested in the belt tensioner. Was it difficult to install? Does it work well? | ||
| Foximus |
It was not difficult for me to install. However I welded up the fork frame myself, and then drilled and tapped it into the swing arm block. It works like a champ. Allows the belt to stay in perfect tension always, as It is the same radius as the swing arm pivot point. Need to find a paint that wont bubble for the tank, and this thing is getting Listed. | ||
| S1owner |
Fox could you send me detailed pics of the tensioner mount as I need to come up with something for my xb swingarm swap. Any chance of me getting that sir cleaner? | ||
| Gusm2 |
Opinion.......proper fugly but thats only my opinion | ||
| Foximus |
Fair Enough Gus. Its eclectic to say the least. Then again, I hate bikes with gas mask headlights... but wiggers love those for some reason... I dunno. Really need to paint the tank so it will sell well.... Email me S1 | ||
| S1owner |
Fox I sent a pm as my email for you will not send? | ||
| Foximus |
hmmm... I didn't get anything... Odd. FoxMausner@gmail.com | ||
| Foximus |
Just in case... http://orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/4200709245.html | ||
| S1owner |
Get my email fox? | ||
| Foximus |
Yes. Just been swamped. I'll send you pictures of the Pulley. | ||
| S1owner |
Thanks let me know what you need. So not that you need another project but after the camino is fixed what you going to build | ||
| Foximus |
I actually finally got my turbo back in the mail yesterday, and installed it this morning. I think that might be for sale to soon. I'm almost scared to drive it.. =\ Like I said earlier. I'm building a monster track bike right now. Building the tank at the moment. But its super light... I mean Scary light And SCARRY powerful. | ||
| S1owner |
So are you willing to give some info or pics what is the bike based off of? | ||
| Foximus |
I'll give you a clue. Its going to be about 210 lbs. | ||
| S1owner |
All titanium , carbon fiber and magnesium I assume. Thats going to be crazy. In my sons bmx racing days his bike weighed under 7 pounds it was crazy light and most of the weight was saved in rotating mass which I assume you are doing also | ||
| Foximus |
All aluminum. Magnesium Engine cases. My wheels are about 7 lbs each I've been told, with rotors. But they are not here yet, so I cannot confirm. I'm about 60% done making the gas tank at the moment. Hand forming it all. | ||
| S1owner |
To bad your 24 hrs away I have an english wheel and planishing hammer | ||
| Foximus |
I have a planishing hammer. Its working alright. I dont have the best bits for it though... Buell is gone tomorrow. Trading for this bike. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-BMW-R-80-Custom-Cafe- Racer-/291016858746?forcerrptr=true&item=291016858 746&pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item43c1f4dc7a&nma=true &si=iVSdCdV3pxPT2M8N0pGUdXKgjcs%253D&orig_cvip=tru e&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 | ||

Got her all cleaned up today. I'll be sad, but Too many issues to deal with. I'll miss the 2,000 rpm wheelies, the front wheel, and those headlights more than anything.   |
