IMHO, I think the yellow is a little out of place. I like the look of the americansportbike undertail. I would highly recommend it. Other than that, it looks pretty clean.

Matrim, I bought the bike used, and the bike was all yellow, I guess they painted the gas tank. I have only had the bike 3 or 4 months so I havent really had a chance to do much to it. This winter I am going to try and do some cosmetic work, so we will see. Thanks for your comment. Matt Tully

Nice bike. What color are you going with? The black would be nice. Mine is yellow; I like it most days... I think we have the same rearsets also.

What color should the plastics be being that it has a purple frame I would do some research and paint the plastics first and try to get some buell accessories if you can find some like rear pulley cover and chrome rings for the speedo,tach and BTW nice bike I wish that buell would bring back more exciting color combo's into their line up like to they used to.....good luck on personalizing your buell

First thing I would do (and did do) is get rid of all the ugly plastic's.

This is mine before mods




And this is it after the mod's






Not everything can be done at once but it's some ideas to work towards.

Why does your rear header look different?

probably because the bread box is gone making the header look lower??

Take a Dremel tool to that license plate bracket! It will look so much better! Just my opinion!

you have a different header on yours, see how the front one wraps around the timing cover then back forward?
