I've been looking for a used, size medium, Vanson Buell jacket XRCH-BU53 and have been having no luck. Thought I would contact Vanson for a new one and this was the response I received from Nicole Medeiros via email:

"sorry but as of 12/31/08 we no longer make or hold the Buell license to
make products. sorry!!"

I knew they were going through some hard times, but I didn't think they were going to stop producing Buell leathers.

So if anyone has a medium leather Buell XRCH jacket they'd like to sell or know of someone I can contact, please do help!

Contact Tripp at Precision HD (one of the sponsors), maybe he could help.

they deff still have few buell jackets in their store, or did as of a few weeks ago. maybe they brought them to the international motorcycle flea market ny? i'd call back and see if i could get a different person. they have a big warehouse room in the back.

They (Vanson) may have some restriction on selling licensed product from their shop. I don't know for sure how it works, but you would need to buy a Buell jacket from a Buell dealership. I did get a Buell t-shirt from Vanson, but I think there are different restrictions since it also had a dealer logo on it. Call Tripp.

Also, have you tried Appleton HD/Buell? They may be a little closer to you.

Just tried call Tripp at Precision and they were closed. I'll have to give him a call tomorrow.

Talked with someone from Vanson and they said they do have a medium in stock - last one. She said they can only sell to a dealer, so I'll have to head to Appleton HD/Buell to see if they can order it for me.

Thank you both for your help!! Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one.

Yeah, I saw they were marked down too. I didn't realize they lost the license until she said something.

I stop and Appleton HD/Buell quite often. They have an XL in stock that has been on the sale rack forever. I'll see if they are willing to try and order one for me.

If you pay up front, there shouldn't be any reason why they wouldn't. PM Tripp just to be on the safe side.

Yeah, I'll talk to Tripp before I head down to the dealership in the next few days. I know Appleton is one of the sponsors here and they are my local dealer, but some weird things have been happening there in reference Buell lately.

They emptied out there clothing pretty good from what I understand. Last week a friend was in there to buy me a belated Christmas gift and they had 6 shirts or so and told her they were getting rid of Buell merchandise that is in stock. Need to check it out

I'm 15 minutes from Vanson, I think I'll be swinging by there if they're open late or on Saturday. : )

Jim, that would be sweet. Only thing I'm worried about is the fit. I've tried on a large and I thought it was a little big. I'm hoping a medium will be perfect.

Since I grew up and was friends with the owner of Appleton HD/Buell, I'm gonna talk to him and see if he could order it for the dealership so I can give it a try. I hate to drop that much and then it not fit. Definitely appreciate the offer!

I had a post about customized suits with Buell logos. Why not get a jacket and have Buell logos put on it. I'm pretty sure Buell wouldnt chase ya down for it!

I think it's because he wants that jacket, not just a jacket.

Eboos - you got it!! I specifically want that jacket.

Good thing is, Tripp has got one!! You are the man Tripp!! He's actually got 2 different Vanson Jackets. He's got a medium XR2(I think that's what it is) Perforated black leather with the gray band around the left arm that says Buell. Then he has a XRCH-Long in large. That puppy is mine!! If anyone is looking for the other one I described, definitely give Tripp a call!!!

Thanks Again Tripp!! Look forward to talking with you again!!
