Author Message   Slowride Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 01:56 pm:        Well not to long ago after Buelltoberfest I posted a thread letting everyone know I had sold the Uly and picked up a new 2008 GL1800 for touring duty. I mentioned in the thread that I would own another Buell and hopefully in time for MBVI. Well..... I am the proud new owner of a Buell again. I purchased a 98 S3T from a badwebber. The bike is currently being torn down to the frame for a rework. I just finished pulling the motor out the frame and I will be taking the bike completely apart (to powder coat the frame, swingarm, etc.)this winter. I am hoping the bike will be ready to ride to MBVI in March. This is it before the tear down   Aeholton Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 02:02 pm:        Congratulations Micah! Beautiful bike!   Kurbennett Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 02:51 pm:        Great looking bike! Definitely a classic!   Tootal Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 05:18 pm:        That's my favorite of the tube framers. Good job! Enjoy.   Johnboy777 Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 05:38 pm:        Beautiful bike - and you can see the engine, which is always a plus in my book. What color combo are you planing on, if I may ask? .   Slowride Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 06:10 pm:        Johnboy777, Good question, I thought about going back original, although after seeing the tubeframe/xb bike on the quick board I am highly tempted to make it into a S1/xb hybrid. If I keep it original, I actually like the silver, but I am trying to decide on the frame color. I am really open to ideas right now, as I can't quite find any good examples (images) of any custom S3T's unless they are candy red and white.   Slowride Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 06:22 pm:        Hmm, I just found this custom S3   Johnboy777 Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 06:26 pm:        ""If I keep it original, I actually like the silver, but I am trying to decide on the frame color."" The Uly frame color might set the silver off nicely...just a thought. .   Slowride Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 06:42 pm:        Opinions Wanted Would it be worth anything to keep it original? Should I go with my "Lust" and chop it into a street fighter?   Hughlysses Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 06:56 pm:        I'd hate to radically mod a pristine bike like that. Find a beater tuber on ebay or Craig's List if you want to build a street fighter.   Tootal Posted on Monday, December 01, 2008 - 09:09 pm:        Do the frame in an electric blue. I love silver w/blue accents. Any bright color would really set off the silver IMO.
