Hey fella's, I'm new to the board and I am thiking about selling my heavily modified Ducati monster 900 for a Buell, however I am having trouble deciding on which one to get. Question One... I recieved a email reply from Matt Purdy from Adrenalin-Moto when I asked about a way to reduce the RPM at highway speeds (100+ mph) and he responded, "...the front pulley on the XB12 is the same as fitted to the older 'tube' frame Buells and Sportster models so you may be able to find a slightly different size front pulley." Has anyone experimented with using a larger size front pulley?? Question Two... From what I've read from you guys, I've decided to go to a D&D muffler with a F.A.S.T. intake kit. What type of ECM upgrade would I need?? I need something that is a bolt on replacement as we dont have an experienced engine tuners over here, or an ECM that I can program myself. I haven't tried it before, but with a little bit of instruction I am willing to give it a try. Question Three... Does anyone have a pic of their Black XB/R with Black double bubble windscreen? Question Four... Has anyone gone into dramatically reducing weight of their bike (inc. flywheels, clutch baskets) Question Five... Are D&D mufflers heaps lighter than Buell Race Cans? Question Six... Has anyone tried painting their plastics with XB12R Frame paint? Thanks!! (Message edited by wildduke on February 25, 2005) | ||

Welcome! 1. I don't know if the belt would still fit if you change front pulley alone? 2. The race ecm should work fine with that set up. 3. I have the Double Bubble but on a red bike 4. Not that I know of, others might? 5. Not a bunch lighter, they are heavy duty so they will last. The lightest pipe I have seen so far is the Jardine. 6. Not that I have seen but sounds like it would look cool! | ||

"5. Not a bunch lighter, they are heavy duty so they will last. The lightest pipe I have seen so far is the Jardine. " I think the Force pipe would be lighter... I'm not certain though. | ||

I wouldn't worry with changing the ECM at all. I would go with the TFI given the mods you suggest. Bud, I got the same thing. Oh well, here's a smaller version.  |
