Hey guys, I promised this pic a long time ago. This is me on my 03' XB9S in upstate NY this spring on Buell Ave. This street was one block from where I was staying.  | ||

Free Spirits site url is: http://www.freespirits.it/ Trojan Horse kit is exactly the one produced by Free Spirits. I've installed a S&S Speedo calibrator in order to correct the wrong reading after the gearing change. HTH ClaudyO | ||

For all the Dukes of Hazard fans out there. (You KNOW who you are) This car was built for the show but was never used.  | ||
| Spiderman |
SWEEEET!!! I love that show. | ||
| Al_lighton |
Admit it spidey, you just love the car and her shorts.  | ||
| Bigfanof6 |
They used something like 370 Chargers and over 700 cop cars filming the show. They were totaling 2 Chargers per show! Today is Dukefest at Cooters place in Sperryville, VA. (Sorry, Daisy won't be there.) | ||

Kinda like the film they are currently doing near my office. They have a block closed off with "star" trailers lining the streets, aerial platforms, lights and about 30 tractor-trailers of electronic gear. Down the block is the supply of faux NYPD cruisers. On another note, I saw something uniquely New York yesterday. Three car carriers, all full of black Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with TOTAL BLACK windows (including front) and spot lights on the "A" pillars. Gearing up for the 2004 RNC.

So I'm surfing the web on a boring Saturday, and I find this odd V Max...  shoot, it's too big, I'l have to post on Monday...sorry for the suspense folks ;^D edited by jim_m on August 09, 2003 | ||
| Bigfanof6 |
Jim, if you want to email the picture to me I'll make it smaller and repost it for you. Chris | ||
| Jim_m |
let me try one more time...  | ||
| Jim_m |
OK, it worked that time...but now I lost the html link it was on  no where did he mention what the bodywork was based on, just that it was an aftermarket purchase. Other than covering up the VMax's tank, I think it looks pretty good ;^D | ||
| Bads1 |
Almost reminds me of a old Suzuki GS1150 ES.I've seen that bike before,I think it kinda cool. | ||
| Mikej |
Jim, That looks like Buell S2 bodywork to me. | ||
| Bigfanof6 |
Is it just me, or is the XB9S on Buell Ave. missing something? | ||
| Jim_m |
yup, that's what I say too, except for the extention under the tail section (I assume to cover up the VMax gas tank). But there was now mention of Buell that I saw on the site at all... | ||
| Jim_m |
here's the link to the story..I still don't see any mention of Buell...could be he doesn't know... http://www.webbrilliandt.com/story.htm | ||

Good spot Bigfanof6, did not notice until you mentioned it Fun to try and spot. I won't give it away. | ||
| Jim_m |
I just saw that too (course I had to look after you guys brought it up)...what's up with that? | ||
| Nevco1 |
Oh wow, that is just too funny. Can't wait to hear the story on this one. | ||
| Jdbuellx1 |
Maybe thats why he's wearing nice comfy shoes! | ||
| Bomber |

| Nevco1 |
Complete with out-of-round rear wheel. Yahoo! Dat sucker looks fast jus' standing still. | ||
| Tbolt834 |
Tell me again how you put power to the rear wheel . . . .? | ||
| Jim_m |
Having the elongated rear wheel adds to the bob job effect... | ||

Hey, its Morgan, Nice job spotting the missing Belt on my bike. I had taken off the belt guard (for looks) and managed to snap 2 in under 2000 miles. I was planning on taking that pic earlier before I broke it but put it off. Then I broke the belt and had to push the bike over there. It is a good thing that it was only a block away. Oh yeah, I was heading back to Colorado the next day that is why I didn't just get a new belt and ride over. | ||
| Bigfanof6 |
Morgan, How did you break two belts by taking the belt guard off? And I didn't mean to get everybody raggin on ya, I was just making an observation. I thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me... Chris | ||
| Dblhaulxb9s |
Well, Bigfanof6, I took the guard off and the very next ride, I snapped the belt. I figured it was just some fluke, bad belt or something. I got a new one from the Topeka, KS Harley dealership for free (warranty) on my way to NY. Then, I got to NY and began tearing it up on the really nice roads they have up there and about 1500 miles later as I cracked the throttle open to do a wheelie, it broke again. This time I had to pay for the belt. They told me that the XB's had belts that weren't as tough as the tubers and because they were under tension they could not take any debris at all with out running the risk of breaking. I have since installed my belt guard and have had no problems since (4000 miles or so). As far as the out of round wheel, that is from me scanning the pic. I don't mind the razzing, it is funny.

Morgan, Also keep in mind that the Bolt belts aren't as forgiving as the old tube framers. If you over flex them the wrong way during install, they will fail quickly. The new Goodyear (?) belts are suppose to be better. | ||
| Newfie_buell |
Tube frame belts suck too, I just love my new 530 chain and two sprockets. |
