Just checked out one of their auctions and they had a race kit for a Cyclone for $875.00 plus $30.00 to ship. Also, they stated list price on this was like $1100.00. I find that hard to believe. You gotta love these price gougers. Looks like I am gonna keep my ride stock. Buell created the ultra high priced parts market by discontinuing parts for the tube framed bikes. Whats to stop them from doing the same with the new models?

I bought an s3 seat with the blue piping from them. When I installed it the seat pan cracked and i'm talking spiderweb cracking throughout. It's unusable. They basicly told me to go pound sand. Kinda harsh for a two hundred dollar product. I guess i gave them the vaseline and invited them in huh.

I found one of the last race kits available from dealers for my S3T last year, over $1,200 new. So $875 is not out of line.

clutch cable for 2004 XB12: $ 26.25 at local HD store. Gouging? i dont think so. go price ANY comparable Buell part, and compare to a similar part for a honda, yamaha, ducati,triumph, or you just TRY to find a motorcycle with less expensive stock parts. I have been very well pleased with the pricing on factory replacement Buell parts...... dean

That kit up here would cost about $100,000.00 by the time you add in the exchange rate, taxes, duty, customs and of course the awful handling fee charged by UPS.

Tip for those shipping to CANADA - DO NOT USE UPS AS THEY ARE GOUGERS - NEXT TIME THEY SHIP ME SOMETHING I WANT A KISS TO MAKE THE EXPERIENCE A BIT MORE PERSONAL
