One of my favourite pics, it looks so menacing It's a love hate relationship, but still my favourite bike I've ever owned. |

Nice pictures. The first is my favorite you look like your just about to be up to no good and sure enough next picture is a nice shot of your underside. The carbon fiber wrap looks good too has a nice flat finish that looks very Sharp. |

I've always liked your carbon fiber wrap but it looks even better in these pics. And yeah, that top pic does look menacing. SWEET!!!! |

Wait a second closer inspection looks like those pods are shiny and new. Did you get new pods? |

I'm guessing he has toggle switch to turn them off during track days? |

Nice! Love the pics! what kind of windscreen do you have on your R? I also notice your front end is different. GSXR forks/wheels? More pics of the bike if possible please. (Message edited by rogue_biker on August 22, 2011) |

Screen is zero gravity The lights are on a toggle to help battery life, only off when doing trackdays and mucking about, always on when out riding on the road. It's a yamaha R1 front end, I'll post up a link from the old thread, don't want to bore the old members eith my pics again haha |

I have a ZG windscreen and I don't remember mine looking that good! I've been toying with the idea of putting a Japanese sportbike forks on mine just to be different. But please do post up pics of your bike for those of us who haven't seen it. |

I am a fairly new Buell rider, I have put around 6000 miles on my 1125R. I just checked my oil for the first time since getting it. I had the shop do it prior to that, but didn’t know about the bad manual information and just about blew all my seals. I am glad I didn’t have a warm fuzzy last night after putting a quart in, I guess I was just lucky but now finding that there was a bad manual out there that could potentially cause a bike to crash or at least cause a maintenance nightmare I am kinda aggravated. Does anyone out there know where a good place to go to find out info on Buell specific safety or maintenance concerns? |

Here's the link from the first finished version http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/disc us.cgi?pg=next&topic=290431&page=614142 Gone through a few revisions now, currently running the gold spot calipers which are lighter and have thicker alloy pistons. And this is from a day I spent with Albert denoting his exhausts early this year.

Thanks, I figured that, just wondered if there were safety messages automatically posted somewhere. |

I do remember those pictures now. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Looked to be some work to get the R1 forks and new triple clamps working. |
