Resistance is Futile! 
M2! 6 foot 2something hundred lbs. fits great. If the Xb fits wear it. The first words out of my bro Wulfstan's mouth when he saw the M2L was "thats small" After a test ride, "It takes too little effort to turn" "the brakes stop too fast" "I couldn't drag any parts" a truly disgusted reaction from a pro bike mechanic.  (no lie) Wulfstan did complain about short shifting to keep it under 2500 rpm, he said "Damn thing wants to rev too quick". Buy what fits you. Other people have to deal with the looks. |

I'm 6'5" and ride an '02 M2. Comfort and fit is excellent. If the XB9S fits give it a good look.
I do believe the new fuel-in-the-frame Buells look small. But you know, every bike looks small under tall/large riders.
FWIW, I believe recent year tube framed Buells are well-sorted out, tremendously fun machines. You can't go wrong with a newer Cyclone.

If you look like this on the XB9S you got a problem.
If not then the bike fits. This is me riding a pocket bike last summer. The first time I ever rode one and the hardest part was getting the damm thing going. I also can say that going 35mph is fast when your an inch off the pavement. Afterwards the bike was surgically removed and both the bike and rider recovered. |

Smile on my face,
Has anyone ever rode one of those things? They are a blast, I only wish there would have been another around that day could have had races. |

I have a 1999 Buell M2 with a borla exhaust and a performance ignition. Whenever I start the bike it only runs on one cylinder until it fully warms up. Sometimes its on the front cylinder and sometimes on the rear. Which ever cylinder isn't firing I'll take the spark plug cap off and hold it slightly above the spark plug while the engine is running. While i do this the bike begins to run on both cylinders and you can see the spark arcing from the cap to the plug. After holding the cap above the plug and giving it small amounts of gas for a few seconds I can put the plug cap back on the spark plug and It will run fine. I have replaced the plugs and wires and it has not helped. Is the ignition or the chip messed up? Please Help!!!!!
Thanks |

How did you get the High Beam thing resolved? |

Me?
If so.
I wired them sepratley into the harness.
On low beam just the right light is on, when the high beam is on both are on. |

Yeah...I'm going to do that soon, too...keep the high beam to the switch, and wire the low beam in the switchgear housing before the switch to bypass it and keep it constant on.
I've had a few people come up and say, "hey dude, you know you have a light out?" |
