Here is project Dark Twin. A lot of blood, sweat and, swearing went into this project, I Would like to thank a few people for their help on this project. Al @ American Sportbike for a speedy delivery of the ignition tool. Andrew @ Chandler HD/Buell for helping me with everything I needed. If you need a good service writer/Parts guy, see Andrew, he rides a Buell to! And finally a big thanks to Kevin Drum for building one bad a55 loud pipe, and by the way the 12 loud drummer is just as loud as the D&D. It performs better than anything i've ridden, Shipping turn around was 1 week, faster than anybody i've ever dealt with. Thanks Kevin. Heres the PICS

The black and red are a nice contrast. Gives the bike a hard-edged, agressive look. Metalstorm beat me to the punch with "Sweet, Wicked, Mean & Nasty!" Very nice! Very unique! (Message edited by Tunes on July 24, 2005) |

After seeing the work in progress, I can say that the bike looks much better with all her parts back together. It turned out very nice, Jeremy...cheers! -Dan |

Yea! the fork clamps I painted with them off the bike. So i would'nt have to get the forks rebuilt. I will wait until the seals are leakig, then I'll powder the clamps and anodize the fork tubes, black of course! Thanks Dan how was Hurricane Mesa last night!LOL Later J |

Did you paint or powder coat your primary and timing covers? I powder coated my primary, but haven't done the timing yet. I'm kind of nervous about taking the timing cover off. Let me know what it took to do that. |

The Firebolts haven't any cosmetic updates shown for 2006 on Buell.com... I wonder if the factory folks are looking at this? Any plans for the spoiler's center section, J? |

That ride is sharp! I have always liked the dark motor compared to the magnesium one. |

now thats the way it should come from the factory, looks bad a55 man. just one thing are you going to paint the lower chin faring if so use (krylon) I think thats how you spell it, plastic paint works great did it to mine, drys fast as hell too and there's no rock chipping yet. |

I'm ordering the city x center section the cam gear cover is a pain is the a55 to remove, if your not careful you could drop your cams, in other words make sure the valves are closed or a relaxed position, dealership told me i got lucky! i'm also preety sure you have to remove the head pipe to get to the bolts. yea you do have to on a 12 atleast. Since i already had the motor rotated i figured what the hell. thanks everyone for the compliments. Later J |
