So here's the next thing I need out of the garage: It's a 2003 Buell XB9s with about 8,500 miles. Lots of good things with it but here's the story: I was on my way to Ocean City bike week about 7 years ago when the bearing under the front drive belt pulley took a dump. I noticed it when it started spewing oil onto the wiring right beside it, which made the bike buck like a bronco. So I got it towed home, and it has sat in my garage ever since. This morning, I emptied the old gas, dumped some new gas in, put a battery in, and cranked it so I could take a video to prove it runs. Only problem in that plan is that it wouldn't start! It will start and run briefly with starting fluid but it's not getting fuel. So, the problems with the bike are: 1) bearing needs replaced and 2) not getting fuel. It was running great after the bearing thing - not sure what happened to it from sitting. It's a really nice looking bike with some tasty aftermarket stuff which I will list below. Any of the plastics missing in the photos are in my garage, they're just not installed. I also have the black windscreen. The bike has always been indoors so there are no issues with rust or corrosion. Anyway, here's some of the good stuff that I remember. There's probably more that I don't. - Race ECM and open airbox mod. These really wake it up. I swear it's faster than my XB12 (or it WAS anyway!) - Corbin Seat - Carbon fiber fender - Upgraded sprockets, very new belt. Apparently this year of XB had a crappy belt system, so the PO upgraded it. I bought a new belt because gravel punched a hole in the old one. - bar end mirrors - fake carbon fiber turn signals (kinda cheesy) - Authentic buell soft panniers if you want them (not pictured) - I put brand new Pirelli Diablos on right before the trip. Been stored inside so I think they might be okay to use. They look and feel new to me. Respond to this thread, or text 804-496-8153. Price is firm at the moment. I think it's quite low actually. If it's unreasonable I'll go down in a couple of weeks or so. Thanks for looking!
