I haven't seen this anywhere, but has anyone heard about the future of EFB Designs or should I start a list of what I might need for the future and start ordering?

Perhaps the future of EFB's direction could be prefaced by what he accomplished in his years as an engineer at H-D. I know Erik has many, many patents and not all of them are related to motorcycles.

For one thing I'm pretty sure he designed the rising rate air suspension with accumulator and solenoid for the FXRT.

My friend says the radiator placement and air ducting through the fairing on the Nova Project bike was Erik's design.

Anybody know what other improvements in other H-D products can be attributable to Erik's engineering skills?

if I am not mistaken the improvements on the 2004 and up sportsters is from Erik's work on the Buell lineup that they worked in on the Harley side.

I believe Josh_ is asking about future parts availability for his RS, and the company EFB Designs, not the designs of Erik Buell the person.

So what's the F stand for? Erik "Frickin" Buell?

According to my buddy who rode my Uly for several hours before I installed the comfort kit, the head of Buell should have been named Erik "Sweaty Balls" Buell...

I still laugh at that!

Didn't anyone hear that Buells are not for sitting on.
