I'd like to see an update to the controls. They haven't changed since evar. If someone from Buell could please sit down for a moment with a Suzuki GSX-R, they'd see what I mean. The buttons on my 2006 GSX-R 750 controls feel fabulous.

The controls changed in 1999.

There are only 2 countries that make controls.

The "old" (1996-1998) Buells used C.E.V. from Italy, the same as Ducati (with one exception on the kill switch) and in 1999 Buell switched to Japanese controls.

I preferred the Italian for no particular reason other than I liked having the S1 and the 916 have the same controls.

Hard bag options across the board. Just lend Hepco some mules for a few weeks so they can make the brackets. I know it's nitpicking, but I really miss my hard bags and Mr. fabrication I am not.

It is possible to put hard bags on an Ss;

Ss with bags


but it would be nice if the factory or Hepco offered a kit that was strictly bolt on.

Froggy - up until now I haven't been able to think of anything useful that our new Navy uniforms blend with other than water (falling overboard is probably not the best time for your camo to be effective)




I could steal your bike in broad daylight and nobody would even see me!

I use it to hide in the rivers from the fuzz.
