Thats beautiful! But eh... is the kickstand setting on a hex set, which is on top of an adjustable wrench? Come on... all that work on the bike and you couldn't produce a painted piece of wood? Still like it though! Kyle Brine United States Air Force | ||

Photographer: I want to lean the bike over just a little bit more to get that right angle for all the chrome to shine. Bike guy: But all I have are these tools. Photographer: Don't worry I'll "photoshop" it out. It will look great! 2 weeks later photographer never remembers to touch-up the photo. To him, it just looks like its part of the kick stand. Oh yeah, thats a sweet ride. | ||

That seat looks like suede! I wonder how a suede bike seat holds up in the rain. | ||

rain...ha, i needed a good laugh...  | ||

That's funny Barker, I can see that discussion with the photographer. Corbin has been selling suede seats for years. You don't ride in the rain with them. Would it be possible to scotchguard suede and have it work well enough to keep the suede from getting nasty? I'm sure someone on here knows the answer. | ||

The suede is already water proof. The cruisers have these from time to time down my way and you should see the water bead up, it's really cool. They are kinda like suede cow boy boots. | ||

Ok, shows what I know. I just thought about how the suede on some of my shoes got nasty after getting wet. Thanks Jimmy! I stand corrected! | ||

I hate chrome and polish but somehow that looks nice anyway. Hey wanna have some fun? Post that pic on SacBorg.................. | ||
| Jimmy |
I still agree with Duff24 though. Who in Haydees would ride this in the Rain. O well, guess that didn't make much sense with it not raining in Haydees and all.  | ||

I really wish I could round up someone round my way Al,Ga, or Miss to split the gas to go to Homecoming to see some bikes like this. Anyone ever been to Homecoming to comment on whether or not these kinda bikes show up? | ||

OOoooooo..... ka-ROMMMMME......shi-neeeee.... ;P How ya think it handles with 50 pounds of chrome plating!? ~SM | ||

Looks good if blink-blink is your thang. One of the features I like best, about a Buell, is... there is not chrome or shiny parts to polish. Less cleaning = more riding! | ||

Less cleaning = more riding! Not on that bike!  | ||

Nice looking show bike for sure. I prefer more go than show. I do appreciate the thought, time, and passion that went into that bike. Just if it were me and my money, it'd be blingless.  | ||

Bling it on. Who cares what it weighs, it has a purpose, and it does it well. It is freekin gorgeous. Someone just wanted to get everyone's attention AND its a buell. If that is 50 pounds of CHROME and not polish it will still out handle most anything out there. All the chrome hangs lower, Kinda like comparing off the side of a bridge, ya know. "That water sure is cold, Yea deep too." Anyway, back to what I was saying, somebody is gonna polish, shine, and paint everything out there at some point just to hold that "BAD-A" title and WOW this guy brings it. Secretly you know we all wash and shine our bikes tooo much cause we love the $$$@$%$^@2 out of em. I would love to have the money and time to polish customize my bike to the hilt, pull up on bike night, then leave em sitten still headen back out on the twisties. Has anyone seen that Wild-Ars on his show-pony lime green polished lightning on this board. He really loves to go as much as the show. I say if it keeps you grinnin you must be winnin. O and lets not forget the Flat black army-ed up street killer in here also. All these guy's have way more time than me. More power to ya.  | ||

Jimmy, Amen brother, you speak the truth. As long as our bikes make people say, "what the f**k was that". Thats all that matters!! And that bike screams WTF was that!! I too hope to join the flat black army. This winter I'm hoping. | ||
