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?

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.

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.
