Make sure you post pics. A light kit would look awesome with that combination. What about valencia orange with the black and amber firebolt? |

I just want to add the worst thing about buell is having to deal with harley sales reps. they dont take you seriously and never seem to make it a priority to order the parts. if I was 30 years older and had a sportster or v-rod they would roll out the red carpet and have my parts in a day or 2 not a month or 2. not a hyperbole Ive seen it, but I digress |

Socal - Order your parts from DaveS here on the Badwab. He knows exactly what you are talking about in every case and you get the parts shipped right to your door. Yeah, there's some shipping cost, but no tax so its mostly a wash. There are two great Buell dealerships here in Jersey, but it's honestly easier to order from Dave and have it shipped right to me. |

The new 07 bodywork I have ordered has all come in about 3-4 days? 1-866-757-1651 ask for Dave in the sales dept. Save 10% for being a Badweb member No sales tax unless you live in WI And you get your parts! |

One of our fellow Carolina Corner Carvers riders did the same to O3s:
I think the new plastics are going to be a real hit! |

Cheap half-arsed job I did with Paint and some of the '07 Buell images...
But I, too, would love to see the real thing... 1313 |

I saw this new bike in a dealer's showroom near Oxnard, CA. It looks pretty amazing in real life. Don't think they have this for the lightning??? |

I was thinking of doing the same thing with the Amber Airbox cover to match my windscreen and wheels Hey 1313 could you photochop something for me? |

That really is a cool color. U4euh - Any idea where that little clip on the top of the open airbox lid came from? The one holding the fuel vent hose? I just did the airbox mod to my bike and was wondering what to do with that hose. Gregg |

Gregg-Twig works at a fuel pump building station, it is a part they use for the business. I asked him the same question. I think if you go to Home Depot or Lowe's and look in their Rope Lights section, they have clips to snap the lights into, these should work, if you don't remove the hose a lot. I found that after bunch of removal and installs, the clips tend to break. |

Ventura H-D / Buell (Oxnard, actually Camarillo) has one? The last time I was in there they only had the used blue 12R that they can't seem to get rid of. I may have to stop by and see what is new, not that I would buy from them anyway . . . |

E-gads, you can keep the purple and mean green. Planning on a cherry box on my red/amber bolt next month. Also have the open airbox and might have to put some lights in there. Definitely get more attention at bike night! |

All those colors you guys are coming up with reminds me of an iMac commercial. Maybe there's something to be discovered there... I hope not! Sam |

Although I do think that amber airbox would look pretty sweet on my bike... Sam |

I put the transparent blue airbox cover on my white 9R. It looks great! Since I also have a blue/green ZX-7, all my riding gear has blue in it, so it now matches. If I can figure out how to add pics to this forum, I'll show the bike. Ditto on Harley dealerships not getting in Buell parts. The local HD dealership here said a small clutch part would take 2-3 weeks to get in. They blamed Buell, saying it takes them a long time to ship out parts. One quick call to Dave, and I had the piece within a week. Thanks, Dave!! |
