After we were told about 2 mo. ago that there were problem with the bodywork and then received a letter from hd that the problem has been taken care of , its now coming into aug. and i was just told today that there is now more problems with body work this $hits getting old I JUST WANT TO RACE THE DAME BIKE. i just hope that when we get it the season won't be over. if we get it by the end of aug. will have it at pocono for a track day with a $hit load of buell at least 15 | ||

I think most of us have the same story man. At the show a couple weeks ago I was told ours would be here by the end of the month. I'm crossing my fingers so hard I almost bet you can feel it! Josh | ||

| Trojan |
just told today that there is now more problems with body work Ask them to send us the bodywork or moulds and we'll get it made in top quality pre-preg carbon for them no problem  | ||

Thanks alot thats really nice of you guys, but im sure there gonna get it worked out soon. And its nice to see you guys doing so well with you XB, bike looks great | ||
| Xb9 |
I guess good things take time, hard to wait though, especially when the seasons sliding by. Hope you guys get them soon! | ||
| Mutation_racer |
the good thing is my xb12r is running o.k. but we held off on spending money on better suspension and it come back to bite us in the a$$. As of right now were still sitting in second place in LW GP, LW SB and third in LW SS, thunderbike also in 11th in ASRA thunderbike | ||

All good thing to those who wait. It's driving me crazy, too, but I know that we'll have a top notch racer when it arrives. Here's a feeler put out there for Anonymous, could we get the Liberty XBRR shipped ahead of the bodywork and we'll provide our own in the interim? Please? Also, the Mutant is in the process of making us a Rockett Fuel dealer, so we'll see about trackside support for those interested. No promises, but let's see who'd be up for using Rockett Fuell. | ||

Odin, Court replied to this on the "Anybody got an XBRR parts book yet?" thread. | ||

I've got my XBRR. I will be racing it at Barber in a couple of weeks. I hope to see a few of you there! | ||
| Mutation_racer |
SIPP YOU luck dog, i guess being a EX. and being a few points ahead of me in thunderbike gets you the bike quicker, heck im just a AM. fighting for a top ten in ASRA thunderbike so why would they want to give me ours . also let me add i've been selling them for 9yrs. all kidding aside i wish you and your team good luck. i'll see you there with my ONLY race bike my XB12r | ||

Sorry, guys. Our carbon fiber supplier absolutely screwed us with one disaster and lie after another. Therefore we had to start from scratch with a new supplier. The way we do the body parts is by CNC milling the model of the part out of a special material, then build the molds off of this to make full-prepreg vacuum bagged and autoclaved parts. This takes much longer than the usual splash-and-go moldmaking that suppliers do. This time our good intentions have set us back, but we are getting there. | ||

Gotchya Brian, had to try though Thanks for the update Anonymous. I know that you guys & gals out in East Troy are working to get us the best finished product possible. The Mutant up there is just a bit frustrated and all. Just out of curiosity, what were the problems you were experiencing with the bodywork received so far? Were these the same pieces used in the prototypes being raced currently? | ||
| Mutation_racer |
thanks for the update . i cant help it im just a mutant | ||

Mutant. SPOC told me today that 4 XBRR's shipped this month but the rest of us shouln't expect them until the end of August. By the way, I saw it mentioned you had some connection to Rockett fuel? Can you send me a PM about setting up a dist. There is nobody in MO who sells it. Since I need 114 to run in it, I'd better get a couple barrels before too long . | ||
| Mutation_racer |
just go to rocket fuel.com and you can do te rest | ||
| Diablobrian |
I think Hal's is a distributor, but I could be wrong. | ||

Different anonymous, but: We're up to almost half of the total XBRR build as having shipped. Mutant should have his bike soon, as it's not as if we're waiting until we have them all complete to ship; we're shipping each bike as it's ready. The bodywork is the issue right now, as there's a flock of nearly finished XBRRs sitting naked. And we have been learning things as we race, which will result in both some updates and some important accessory parts becoming available. | ||
| Mutation_racer |
but we love naked bike don't we , just playing . it just would have been nice to have it for barber . its still a week and a half away | ||

The H-D legal group will not allow us to ship bikes without bodywork. We shipped a couple at the very beginning that way and then they stopped it. | ||

>>>The H-D legal group will not allow us to ship bikes without bodywork Thank you Chrysler Motors for setting the legal precedent. HD legal is doing the right thing as agonizing as it is. | ||
| Mutation_racer |
you guys know im just busting chops. thanks for the great bike that our dealership will get one day | ||
| Odinbueller |
You guys think the Mutant is bad on the board, you should hear him in person talking about this! Yikes! | ||
| Court |
I got raked over the coals yesterday....it's the first time I've actually cried in a long time. | ||
| Odinbueller |
And just so you know, Court, the flat rate for adjusting your nuts isn't worth the time & materials! | ||
| Josh_cox |
Mutant, when you get your bike call Henry before starting it. He has a couple changes for everyone to make first. | ||
| Court |
Buell dealers.....geeesh. You go in with a simple request to get your nuts adjusted and I get nothing but abuse. I told them...."Buell said you should adjust my nuts". They're having no part of it! | ||
| Jlnance |
Court - You have to get the X B Double D for that. | ||
| Diablobrian |
You should have asked them to torque your nuts Court, that may be the problem  Either that or your dealer isn't in the right part of town to be inclined toward such "full service" options.  | ||

Hey mutation racer I bought you some tissues and diapers. Wahhhhhhhhhh Wahhhhhhhhh.... Or maybe you just need something for your bleeding vag! |
