Performance Mods!: |
I changed back to OEM Muffler Exhaust Servo and ECM from D&D aftermarket and "Race" ECM... Low end torque is now much better. I feel that Erik Buell did a great job of setting up the XB for us non-racers.

Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
|
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
The aftermarket LED Taillight assembly that was on the bike when I bought it looks good but the integrated turn signals are hardly visible when the brake lights are lit even at night. So I added additional LED turn signal lights. Motogadget mo.blaze pin lights right and left of the license plate as well as Motogadget mo.blaze disc lights to the handlebar bar-ends. Also added LED headlight assembly. Additionally, I added Third Eye Design helmet brake/turn signal transmitter. Even though I do like the blacked out look... I do NOT want to be invisible to car drivers on the road so I guess the additional lighting is very much Look At Me. Soon I'll be installing T-Rex-Racing sliders for a bit of protection if I low side or drop the bike.

Away from the Chicago area. To many of my friends have been killed by distracted car drivers in the heavy traffic of Chicagoland.

Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
