Dear Buell owners, I might have something of use for you: http://motorcycleperformanceanalyzer.com/buell/ It is an online tool for calculating acceleration, gears, power graphs, 400m drag race estimates. Unlike other tools, this one incorporates power, weight and more, so you can simulate how a setup works out in practice. It works pretty good , but is not perfect yet (very new), therefore any input will be appreciated, you can place them here on the forum. Shortcomings are: • the performance curves are generated, but if you have an image or csv file of a measured power curves, I can use that instead of the generated curve. • also, for as far as I know, Buell / Harley use gearboxes with layshafts, they have a reduction on their own (most often with one gear disregarding the entire layshaft). I can also implement that, if somebody has the right ratio’s. • missing models can be implemented. • if it is a big nuisance, I can add mph, lb/ft, etc. • any other suggestion is also welcome, new features will be taken in consideration. Have fun, Willem Terpstra. |

Willem, I want to apologize for your post getting removed, at first glance it looked like spam, but after clicking the link and playing around I see your site has great potential. My suggestions, like you mentioned is having the option to see imperial units of measurement. While not a big deal, it would make it easier for the few countries still stuck in the stone age like America! Also, one thing that would be cool (but probably a pain to implement), is some kind of comparison feature, so I can see say the Buell XB12 and 1125R on the same chart at the same time, maybe even the ability to throw in a bike from another brand for comparison too. Again, the site looks great! |

Froggy, thanks for not removing the post. Regarding the units, I will implement imperial units, not such a problem. The compare option is not a problem either, but I have to find a way to integrate it in the user interface. |
