I have personally seen the Psycho Buells perform and also the Star Boyz. The Psycho Buells use all Buells and a Harley Sportster while the Star Boyz use a variety of bikes. When I saw them, they used a Firebolt for a few things. |

I didn't know the Star Boyz used a Buell. Been a few years since I've seen them. Being from the same area as them, I remember them learning their trade on the local highways, and news stories about these new motorcycle outlaws. Now they make a living doing shows. Whoda thunk it? |

Yeah, I was up at Carlisle last month. They performed stunts with several bikes, but i noticed that all the shows ended with a burnout until the tire pops. They actually keep the rear spinning until the tire is shredded. They went through all the gears during the burn out smoke is everywhere and the only bike they did it with was this Bolt.

Yup, the burn out til it shreads is the way they've ended shows since the first time I saw them nearly 10 years ago at a local stock car track they did a show at. |

That low gearing is what makes it look so easy. |

I got crash cages for my kids bolt. If you want a set let me know and I'll try to dig out some paperwork on who made them. |

I see Chris and the others quite a bit. They were in Lakeland the last two weekends. They put on a pretty damn good show. One of the guys broke his shifter last night. The other two were doing burnout around him. It was pretty funny. (Message edited by firebolt32 on August 17, 2008) |

doin about 60, bounce the front end down a little. then when it rebounds, rev it up, dump the clutch, and put the weight on your back foot. can't do it sittin down in 3rd. |

Damn it Duff. Just a good o' seat bump and she will fly? After I ditch the OEM can . . . I'll have to putt down to KC. Ya gotta teach me that 60mph wheelie!!! My lil sis lives in Olathe and I head to Tuttle at least once a season. I'll bring dirtbikes and quads if you can supply some silly-ass tricks! |

man duff24, i have to give it to you. i saw that you posted some vids in a stunting topic... i dont see how you do it man, i cannot seem to clutch it up in second, let alone third! i would really appreciate some pointers? have also been working on endo's... and every time i seem to get close, the front wheel just chirps on me. hit me up sometime if ur willing to help |

sure no prob guys. sometimes if i'm feelin crazy i can get it up close to 70mph, but then you REALLY gotta rev the piss out of it before clutchin it up. good luck and be safe! |

can't do it sittin down in 3rd. Hey Duff, The cool thing about the 1125R is it has enough power to clutch up 3rd gear sit down wheelies at about 60-65mph. I've been practicing. |

Be sure and put axle sliders and keep frame pucks on your bike at all times if you are going to stunt. I use skateboard wheels for my axle sliders. I have also been through a couple handlebars and now i use the cheap Fly bars they were like $18.95 and i like them better than the Tag's and a little better than the original bars. If you really stunt you need to plan on going down as I have been down 4 times now. Replacing parts gets expensive. |

whats up bueller83? thats an awesome idea about using skateboard wheels as sliders!! never woulda thought of that. it is good to see that theres alot of others out there stuntin the buell. make sure and post up those pics. yeah i plan on making preparations for the inevitable. gonna get a powers stuntworx cage. and one of their 12 bars. so you have a dedicated stuntbike? lots only? do you use the relocated brake setup? (where the rear brake control is hand operated) LONG LIVE THA BUELL |
