Author Message   Jima4media Posted on Saturday, January 19, 2002 - 09:10 pm:        Greg, Thanks for those pictures. Did you notice the larger side mounted oil cooler under the frame slider? You can see it better in the February issue of Road Racing World, page 30, without the fairing and belly pan. In that picture you can also see the race exhaust, larger ram-air intake, chain conversion, and dual disc brakes instead of the single ZTL rotor.

Cant wait to check it out.   José_Quiñones Posted on Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 10:59 am:        Pictures from the IMS in Philadelphia Some bits of information that I picked up from somebody at the Buell Display: 1. The Pro Thunder Firebolts are still using the Fuel Injection, and the only difference in the airbox is that they removed the filter and altered the intake plumbing a bit. So the stock airbox can handle the extra HP. And to put the icing on the cake, the F.I. bikes fuel efficiency is THREE times better than the Dual Carbed X1's (30mpg vs 10 mpg). 2. The frame sliders are mounted to the frame via a welded on mount. 3. The rear fan was removed, they don't need it on the race bike. 4. The full fairing/belly pan is designed to mount at all the stock locations, and Buell is "considering" selling this as an aftermarket option, but it wouldn't be cheap. Start writing those letters to Buell! 5. The Idler pulley has a sproket instead of the wheel to help to keep the chain in tension. 6.The suspension is Showa's "top of the line" stuff, but Penske supplies the rear shock on the race bike, and Traxxion Dynamics works on the forks a little bit. And the last one which shocked me, was that there might not be an Sport Touring version of the Firebolt, as Buell apparently does not feel there is enough of a market for it. Is this the end of the S3? I hope not.   Kpo Posted on Sunday, January 20, 2002 - 09:08 pm:        GOT SOME COOL PIC'S   Eeeeek Posted on Monday, January 21, 2002 - 05:30 pm:        XAT will resize, too.   Jugger Posted on Monday, January 21, 2002 - 11:16 pm:        \image   Jugger Posted on Monday, January 21, 2002 - 11:19 pm:          Jugger Posted on Monday, January 21, 2002 - 11:29 pm:        Yes i know you have seen it before, but i'm testing out my new Sony707 digital. What do you think? Maybe to much glare from the overhead floresants! Colors seem right on though.
