No Idea who this belongs to just found it while searching discs for replacement.   Interesting exhaust as well. | ||

why don't these idiots just buy a sportster with a built motor? this is stepping backward. wtf ?? | ||
| Jersey_thunder |
i like it... | ||

Stepping backward? Nah, not really. As it is, a tuber makes for a much better starting point. Less weight and more performance right off the bat. That's why you start with a Buell over a Sporty! | ||

check out the Sporty cast sprocket cover, with the Buell diagonal brace cleanly slotted in me want! | ||

Its pretty fugly. I have to admit I like the spokes. Buts thats about it. | ||

Looks like he lost his lean angle on the right. | ||

the exhaust folly and twin shocks do indeed take it a step backward in tech and make it sportsterish buell | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Anybody else notice the twin discs & nissin calipers with adaptor plates. Do you reckon he bought a box of bits & built a bike with what he had lying around the garage? Looks pretty good to me, going a bit far to call the owner/builder an idiot just because it's not to your taste though. (Message edited by Mr_grumpy on October 02, 2013) | ||

Yes I noticed the twin discs and brackets . I don't know why we would have to hate on the bike , I see no problem with what has been done . I don't agree with all of it but I do appreciate his efforts . | ||
| Dannybuell |
looks good to me. The old school rear shocks is bad? Why? | ||
| Cyclonecharlie |
There have been times I would have loved to have twin conventional shocks on my Buell. If for load capacity if nothing else. | ||

I can take it or leave it. I would like to see more of the actual conversion process, like what happened to the shock connection on the swing arm, etc. Is it just me, or is the 99+ M2 seat fugly? Will someone teach me how to make the pictures "clickable" to photobucket? I am so stupid!  | ||

Not too shabby, it might look a lot better if the paint was more coordinated. | ||
| Lynrd |
THere are a few things about that bike I really like, and Jayvee is dead on - put the right paint scheme on it and it is a great looking bike. My favorite part is the spoke wheels. Re, the shock connection to the swingarm - I bet the answer was "It met MR. Sawzall and decided not to hang around" | ||

KC if you upload your pictures to Photo bucket they give you links on the right side of the page . Right Click on where it says IMG then copy , come here and right click in the box and paste all done. | ||

I wonder how he keeps the exhaust in one piece? The engine is still rubber mounted, right? | ||
| Kc_zombie |
Thanks Mark! | ||
| Ratbuell |
I hope he reinforced the tail section, since it was never intended to carry those loads... | ||

Well, I like it and have been looking for pix of dual shock buells to get ideas for a M2 rolling chassis, sans front wheel, I picked up at a junk yard for $40. It needs a motor, tail section, and seat; already have a front wheel from when I put PMs on my S3T. Ideally, I'd like to put an XB (9 or 12) engine in it w/the dual shocks, and spoke wheels. I'd also lower it and add slight swingarm extensions; one reason for getting the shock and muffler from underneath the bike. I'm thinking power cruiser. I know this is blasphemy for some on here, but I would be putting a chopped up tuber back on the road. I already have a beautiful stock S3T that I want to keep that way, but I'd like a 2nd bike more suited for straight line cruising for when I ride w/my father-in-law on his street glide. I know I could just buy a sportster or a big twin, but then it wouldn't be a Buell! | ||

hey Bikerrides, go for it! build for yourself, & let others provide their unwelcome blasphemy assessments |
