I would agree with goody.. my harley's spring rivets came apart when i was at a refresher course for military.. i could ride on it but i had to hold the brake in or take my bike out of gear at the lights to get home.. its a simple job to do once u have the tool.. i bought the clutch spring compressor tool and the clutch plates off ebay for $160.. it was the energy one plates.. when i go to replace the clutches in my xb im getting the energy one also..
I have a spare clutch spring compressor tool also.. if anyone needs one btw.. |

With the tool to compress the clutch diaphragm spring its really easy, the hard part is getting into the clutch basket to remove the plates, they stick together. I put a energy one heavy duty diaphragm spring in my clutch, plus the additional steel plate and friction plate, it gives you more clutch surface area and more grab. Probably one of the better upgrades you can do for your bike. |

I wish, I will pick up my bodywork for the M2 next week, I got my NRHS 1250 kit this week. I hope to pull the frame Saturday or Sunday. I pulled the cams, gonna look into some nasty cams that will work with stock heads. I can't wait to ride it, however that is a few months away.  |

Just erased the firmware on my ECM about 2 hours ago, looks like I'm caging it. Plus side just picked up a fully programmable EBR ECM and software/cable for a steal, with full race map. |

Matt, did you ever start doing fiberglass work? I'm making a mold of the stator and clutch protectors from EBR and have ordered some kevlar. Am going to try and make a set.
Figure I'll use my Food Saver vacum packer to get the air out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

I'm back on two wheels as well. It's been a long 6 weeks without the beast. MAN i forgot how much fun this thing is!
I need to get a Dyno run in. Anyone know of a shop that will take a Buell?
Before my electrical derailment, I installed the XBRR Clutch Pack along with a new SS Drummer, I need an official number to quantify the changes. "Seat of the pants" there's definitely a difference. |

Don't know about newport news/hampton but these guys do in Richmond:
Richmond Superbike
5014 Williamsburg Road Richmond, VA 23231
the guy talks a game but haven't heard of anyone using him. He did say they had done Buells before.
I've heard these guys do tuning:
Aggressor Cycles
3306 ARLINE BLVD PORTSMOUTH VA 23701
757-398-2818 |

Are you looking for them to dyno tune or just run the bike on the dyno and give you some information?
There are a couple of shops in Richmond that have Dyno's. I have never taken my bike to any of the shops so I can't recommend one over the other. |

Just to see what I'm putting out. I don't have the cable to do any of the tuning.
I think I've found one in Hampton, I'll prob ride over and get the details and see if they'll even do it. Rumor is it's a Sport Bike guy. |

Good luck Mel. Make sure to get a baseline before tuning. |
