I'm in desperate need of help trying to get my Buell up and running again it needs a a clutch something horrible. My motor could use a refreshing I driven it a good hard hard 6000 miles it is the funnest machine I've ever had. But unfortunately I was supposed to be going to the latest anniversary and rally here in Milwaukee with my youngest brother he passed away 3 weeks ago so I'm supposed to be going with his son who took over his bike when unfortunately I need help with mine getting it dismantled and reassembled so I can get on a Dyno and give it a really great tuning. If anybody's got heads that they would like to sell for a decent price or possibly even donate. Any availabile space and help from an experience Buell biker mechanic willing to help. Any advice or help would be truly appreciated. | ||

If you use Thunderstorm heads there more to it than just heads.You need thunderstorm heads, thunderstorm pistons,thunderstorm cams,thunderstorm module + top-end gaskets to work right.I bought kit 6 yrs. ago also came with new cylinders too.but module was extra all together $1600  (Message edited by ebutch on July 11, 2018) | ||

I purchased a tunable ECM from IDS that took care of any tuning issues. New valvetrain, roller rockers, push rods , lifters, and cams. Strong enough springs to go to a .600 lift. Picking the right cams is the tricky part. I have enough money for all parts and gasket kits, and some labor funds put away. Labor help truly needed. | ||

That head is a bit high, gonna have to pass on it. Still looking for full set of thunderstorm heads, or at least a front cylinder head for the thunderstorm. | ||

Now the heads on Craigslist look good need to look more into those. | ||

I have some pairs of Thunderstorm heads - new/used - complete or bare. Send a pm and I'll provide some pricing. S1/early or late S3/X1/S1W/SE Bolt-in, Andrews N4 - all have nearly identical lobe profiles and all will work well with Thunderstorm heads. There are also options which permit the successful use of flat top (non-Thunderstorm) pistons with Thunderstorm heads | ||

Hey Dennis Looks like you're off to a good start. Once you find a good front, we'll have a set to work with since I have a rear head. When you send me your heads, I'll refund you the core charge and I'll have a set on the shelf to turn around. Zack Headstrong Machining | ||

"PM " stands for Performance Machine. They made some of the wheels and brake calipers on the tubers. Around here, it is traditional when someone helps you, to send them wheels and/or brake calipers. so "Send a PM"... | ||
