Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
Found in a storage container with about 2K miles. Carburetor had to be replaced to get her running. Gearbox and clutch operations were rough with original "red" lube -- replaced with Mobil 1 gear lube. Bike had been lain down on left side with some slight scraping -- bent clutch handle and slightly bent foot-peg support, broke LR turn signal lamp. Otherwise seems like it rolled out of a time vault. Have worked through most of these issues already.
|
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
Carburetor is jetted (probably) for the two cylinder engine and could be lean but so for it has begun to run pretty well. Will need to keep an eye on this jetting issue.
|
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
Anywhere away from the coastal cities in Florida is nice on the back roads.
|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I have admired the Buells for a long time. American-made is also a draw. Like the looks and designs.
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Hmmm - well begin by not cubing them I suppose. Too bad HD seems to have let them down - but could they resume?
|

Nebraska native, have also lived in Orange County, Ca., Wyoming, New Mexico and lately in Florida. Have just been trying to have a nice life.
|
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): |
Probably about 85.
|
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): |
Mobil 1 or Lucus 20-50 synthetics.
