Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | 1998 |
Color: | Reactor Yellow |
V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
Servicing Dealership: | HCS Harley davidson - Rijswijk, Holland |
Performance Mods!: | Pro Series Mods : CF Race Intake w/ K&N filter, CF Borla Slip-on,Thunderslider Kit, Dyno-jet Ignition |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | Current mileage is 8,300 - Exhaust pipe dropped off(twice), I've since put on a 3rd bracket and rubber mounted the whole thing. Flasher unit failed - (due to a short circuit in a brand new after market carbon fibre indicator) Misfiring in heavy rain (which is most of the time here) - cured by putting gasket cement between the K&N filter and the airbox back plate (I think the vibration caused it to flex and lose the seal) Had a spate of blowing the lighting fuse everytime I started the bike - cured itself eventually. front brake switch - currently on my 3rd Speedo cable broke 8300 miles |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Trojan Horse Alloy undertray-number plate holder (partly cos it looks better, but mainly because the standard unit vibrated off - who's idea was it to try and hold a component onto a Harley with glue?!) Also got the tacho kit- it's more useful than the speedo, plus it puts the idiot lights high enough to see with a full face helmet on. |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Touring through the Ardennes with 8 bikes - Harleys, Dukes, BMW's and FJ1100's - The M2 kept up with them all. |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | a) It's (almost) better than sex b) It's different c) There are plenty of Jap bikes pretending to be Harley's. Who would expect Harley to make a bike pretending to be a Ducati? (Monster obviously, not a 996 type) |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | DONT DROP THE M2 !! |
Life History/Philosophy: | |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | 100 ish (stopped by wind resistance!) |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | |
