The hair dryer idea worked great.

All the double sided tape came off no problem, no residue.

I should have done that a long time ago. Much better!

Thanks again!

Noface:
I made the decals myself, I'm a graphic designer for a sign shop. They're reflective and light up like a cop car in headlights. Buell has the "Those bastards stole my idea" version on they're web site for $99 (like I'm the first guy to ever do a flag motif on a bike :) ) For the record, my bike has looked like that since July 1st, 02, 3 days after I picked up the bike. It will NEVER be that clean again!
re white and buell
...coming soon, the black flame motif windscreen, courtesy of Krylon and masking tape.

What's it gonna take to make me a set of the Buell one's that you have on the frame/tank, and the flag for the chin fairing?

Bikergeek and Chainsaw:

The XB/P3 oil filter I spoke about was the OEM version that Buell and Wal-Mart share. At Wal-Mart the number is ST4967. That size is also used by some models of Toyota. The price at the big store is quite a bit less than the $9 which Buell charges.

Thanks Prof & Chainsaw.
It's kind of ironic that the dealers are getting $9/per filter as this seems to be about the only Buell part most dealers are stocking. I want to support the brand and the dealer but when you have to special order everything, you tend to shop around more. Thankfully, we have folks like Iowa Dave to help the Buellers.

Thanks for the comparison Professor! My next filter will be from Wal-Mart.

Noface:
I would suggest going to a local sign shop to get decals done. The installation on the chin fairing is a pain, very easy to screw up the installation, if a pro screws up the decal install they make another for free. Paint may be an option. Just don't make your look too much like mine! :)

ahh, my bike's white anyway (white is faster right?),

I've got a bud (he frequent's BWB too) that's dabbling with creating stickers and decals too, so I'll have to prod him a little to make me some.

Just thought I'd ask.

Thanks!

Don, that bike is in the UK & is being utilized by Trojan Horse for new parts. It belongs to a customer of theirs & this guy is making this stuff.

Oil Filter Update:
I finally decided to try another filter on the Firebolt. STP S4967 - $2.99 at AutoZone. Check the picture. It even has the same casting marks (AA) as the oem buell filter. 1 Filter, 3 qts Mobil1 15W50. Total: $19.62

Bearing Update:
XB went in to the dealership after making an appointment 10 days in advance. 6 days after that, the dealer calls me to let me know that the tool used to install the new bearings is on backorder, so I can come get my bike till they get the tool. Sidestand still not replaced, they didn't have the part for that either. :(

Did i mention I brought in the Service Bulletins posted here so they would have all the pertinant information at hand? When I scheduled the appointment, I told them what I was bringing it in for, not like it was some big friggin' suprise.

All told, Buell down for 6 days for NOTHING!

Chainsaw,

You should see the lovely gouges I got in my swingarm for having the temerity to show up at the dealer I bought mine from and having them replace the bearings. They offered to touch it up, the rotten bastards. LOL...and they (thankfully) overlooked the sidestand, which I don't want replaced in the first place.

...yeah, I wish they'd just cough up the parts so I could do it my damn self. I just as soon make sure all the scratches are put on it by ME!

Any wonder why I service my own bikes? I can't count on a timely servicing by any dealer I've tried, and $40 bucks for an oil change is a "Sale" price.

"The Man" is clearly out to get me down.

I went through the same thing on the sidestand. Even after I got Buell customer service to tell the dealership that it really needed replacing I never actually got it. It always seems to be out of stock when my bike is in. I finally just modified my original by grinding the stop a little bit. Doing so lets the stand go more toward the front of the bike thus making it much more stable. My bike only goes to the dealer now if it is absolutely necessary.

My wheel bearing replacement was done with no problem at all.
