I've seen some reflective tape at our local BMW shop (Lone Star BMW/Triumph - Austin) that is black in the sunlight, but reflects like any other reflector when hit with light at night. You could cut it to fit any shape you wanted.

Ok I know that it was a couple of years ago that we did this one, and it no longer exists in this form but I still like it      | ||
| Trojan |
And here is a pic of the very first Buell we did  | ||
| Saintly |
since you last seen it. i have painted and powder coated the, shifter, rear brake, pegs.... Ahhh.. I should have noticed that. The pegs should have been a dead giveaway! How could I forget what your pegs looked like(wink, wink... nudge, nudge). After all, we are sort of blood brothers(or at least sand brothers). Curse that evil porch!!! | ||
| Jimduncan69 |
i still have nightmares about that porch....... frits are you making it to march badness? of so i will see you there | ||

Gary - Constructive critism only... But your bike is BEGGING for a polished frame and swingarm. I normally don't care for that look, but your bike just screams for it. | ||

Ok, here are some of mine with the winter Mods all done List includes: R upper triple (along with R clutch cable to make it all work) Powder coated trees Powder coated Loony-craft sliders Modified Peg brackets with speed-holes, then powder coated powder coated idler pulley bracket. Polished swing arm brace Polished front trans pulley and painted locking plate black LSL Gold pegs    | ||

Tq_freak, it looks like your belt is getting ready to snap. How many miles on it? | ||
| Tq_freak |
I only got 10k on it. Are you talkn about the dirt lines on it? | ||
| Jwhite601 |
I guess, it kinda looks like fibers showing.  | ||
| Tq_freak |
lol, I guess it kinda goes. I never go nuts on cleaning it cause I dont think scrubing it with a brillow is a good idea and it is always dirty again with in a few miles thanks for the heads up | ||
| Jimduncan69 |
Mark, thanks. i am going to paint the frame white, and chrome the swingarm and subframe. that was going to happen this winter but ran out of money. it will happen sometime this summer. | ||

Trojan, I noticed the clip-ons on the XB pics. Where did you get them? Also, did you have to swap out the forks, or is that a stock XB unit? | ||

Trojan, I noticed the clip-ons on the XB pics. Where did you get them? Also, did you have to swap out the forks, or is that a stock XB unit? Handlebars are Crossroads Performance 54mm clip on bars. These feature very narrow clamps that will fit above the top triple tree on the XBS models using stock forks and triple trees. The only modifications needed are to move the headlight/instrument bracket forward by around 1" using longer bolts and tubular spacers. I also changed the clutch cable for an XBR item as it routed better. When moving the headlight brackets you will lose the steering lock function, but it never was great to start with.  | ||

Wow, those last two pics are SWEET! Where did that body kit come from? Those pics are of our 2002/203 race bike, and the body work was made from a Yamaha TRX850 top fairing (fits using the stock Buell brackets too ) and a modified Suzuki TL1000 aftermarket belly pan. We moulded up the 'Ram air' tubes using plumbers pipe and some large bore flexible automotive hoses.    | ||

Mod 3.0 Blast Bars to get me more upright for long rides and up in the pegs for dirt riding. Mod 2.0 Uly front fender set and Race Pipe Mod 1.0 Hero Blue to Valencia Orange  | ||
| Liquorbox |
CityXslicker, did you have to get longer cables & brake lines to use those bars? I was considering doing the same on my XBS. Thanx. | ||
| Molly_hatchet |
buell dosent have to make a dirt bike for cityslicker he's almost there now  ... all u need now is some knobby tires and find a way ta shave about 100lb's off that thing....u should be about ready for some supermoto. | ||
| Moondust |
Trojan, Could print more details on the mods you made to those first pics ( one with the chrome airbox cover )- ie: the tail light - exhaust - tank - handlebars ?? etc I want to build my xb up like that one day - absolutely blingin! !!  | ||

Already got a set of MT80s here, ready for Dual Sport Nw in August, I did just add the Uly dunloop to the rear to get a lil more mud through the strainer. That exhaust is what is slowing me down, really limits my ground clearance.... I would trade ground clearance for mass centralization (sorry Erik) Get on with the Bendy and Dirty | ||
| Adrenaline_junkie |
I just went to Pirrelli's web site to look at that MT80. I really like the looks of it but they only list it in a 130/17. Are other sizes available? | ||
