Actually . . and if I could find it . . . . David Haworth, the builder from Topeka HD/Buell, and I took EVERYTHING we'd bought for the project . . . spread it out on the floor and had him lay in the middle of it spread eagle . . . . it was a very cool project.

EVERY piece of the motorcycle from the crank pin (Truett & Osborne) to the brake calipers was done. There was barely a stock piece that went back on.

I didn't realize that they were that unreliable that you had to completely redesign a brand new bike back then!

Nah . . .you just need to do it to get your bike featured in MOTORCYCLIST as a "what does a Buell guy do when he builds his own Buell" story. . . .

Perhaps . . . one of the most famous Buells of all time. Say the word "Barney" to anyone who was around Buells in the 90's and they'' tell you about the bike.

We had some serious fun with ol' Barn!

No.

Sounds like you are thinking of "Diablo" the "wedding bike". It never got released to the public.

Changing in numbers, in Brazil a XB9SX costs U.S. $ 17.000!
