Fravel, glad to see I'm not the only one without a chin spoiler. IMO it just looks better. |

"Yeah maybe it would look sweet if it was someone else's. Theme of that bike was... Less is More. A Stealth bomber under the radar look. As always pictures never do anything justice. Maybe the next one will be just like everyone else wants it to be" Dam dude, he was just making a suggestion. Quite a good one actually. |

Trojan, Is that set up on the front of that bike with the radial brakes lighter than the stock set up? Is the bikini fairing on that made to go on with the S headlight bracket? |

Trojan, Is that set up on the front of that bike with the radial brakes lighter than the stock set up? The radial brakes are not lighter than the stock setup, but in our opinion are a better option for racing than the stock 6 pot caliper (I haven't tried the new 8 piston ZTL so can't compare). This has been the subject of huge threads in the past so I won't go into detail ;) Is the bikini fairing on that made to go on with the S headlight bracket The bikini fairing is a race item, although you could fit some small projector type lights for road use. It does not use any of the stock brackets etc, but clamps to the fork legs with its own brackets. You would have to make up a new instrument mount or ditch the stock instruments for something smaller such as the Motogadget item we used last year
The bodykit shown is available as a one piece airbox cover/seat unit and includes new rear subframe and battery box etc. Also available separately is the race oil cooler and scoop kit shown. |

Matt, that is one nice looking bit of kit! (I haven't tried the new 8 piston ZTL so can't compare) I can't wait (I'm sure you can't either) to hear how you like the newest Buell. I always looked forward to your race reports, and I'm looking equally forward to your 1125R review. OK to get back on track, here's my attempt at a Buell custom (and my humble attempt at a wheelie).

they are the duplicolor metalcast spraypaint with about 6 coats . i should have done the clear over them so they didnt chip they need to be re-done. Should be able to find the paint at the local autozone in the crap that you dont really need aisle . |

I was at the Bridge St. Blast today in Corning NY and there were a lot of nice Buells running around including Mike Hales XBRR #111 . But this one took the cake !

That sucks. I always hear about this stuff after the fact(Bridge St. Blast). Oh well had a lot of crap to do yesterday anyway. I did see that bike at the Pride Ride. It's different. Not my taste but at least someone is riding it and not chopping it up. Tim (Message edited by cecil1 on September 03, 2007) |

I always wondered what a Buell would look like with no tail and a chopper style seat. |
