You may remember that on November 8, 09 my orange bearings on my 09 seized. I needed to get the wheel, swing arm, braker roter and of course bearings replaced. After some discussions they agreed to give me the 10 wheel. I dug my trailer out of a snow bank today and drove the 300km round trip to pick up the bike I bought the only Buell merch they had left in the store, (not that they ever stocked much) And as a parting gift they gave me this cool plaque All I need now is the snow to melt |

Looks like a new brake rotor as well! I have the '10 wheel kit sitting on the bench ready to assemble, but I had to fork over the cash for it as my '06X has the original bearings still running yet. |

How many miles, Dio? Very cool. Did you avoid the brake surging problem too? |

I can't help but cringe at the 4th photo. Having that windshield on and the triple tail up is killing your gas mileage! |

I wouldn't be as concerned with that as I would the huge air brake on the rear of the trailer. |

If it was me, I would rolled it into the back of the SUV and laid it on its side |

you fellows are funny lol, it was me and I decided to trailer it down the salt encrusted highway. on a side note, the tech pointed out some scrape marks on the front wheel and asked if I had had the front tire off before. the anwser was no and I was a little suspicious that they had done the damage installing my new tire. I kept those thoughts to myself and its a good thing as then I remembered crossing this bridge in the summer and my front wheel getting jammed between the boards |

a 2010 wheel reltated question. In 2009 (my bike year) the x had a heavier wheel and the t a lighter wheel. Is that the same for the new 10 3 bearing wheel? The service manager showed me the warranty invoice at $2500 bucks (ouch) (Message edited by paralegalpete on December 20, 2009) |
