Man, I'm tempted to buy an XB just so I can put one of those pipes on it! Looks great. Gives me goose-bumps when I see it.... |

>>>>Man, I'm tempted to buy an XB.... You are going weak....weak.....weaker by the moment. You are trapped in the Buell net, ensnared in the grill guard of passion. Let me know when you get it. You will be under this spell until you get the Buell and I snap my fingers. Court Oh yeah....and bark like a dog while I have you here!

Court! Didja do it! Have you loosed a 9sx into it's native environment there in Gotham? (And Ferris has far sexier thumbs then you, give it up!) (Message edited by reepicheep on October 13, 2004) |

96hp is very good for a 9 with only bolt ons. Wonder what a 12 would do...? Would really like to see the torque figures from your dyno sheet, if it's possible? |

Hey Peter nice looking ride! Where can I pick up one of those single sided swingarms? |

You can pick up a used 916 arm for very cheap money these days. They're often on Ebay. You'd need to do some alloy fab and welding to the shock\link mounting on the arm , but it wouldn't take much to get it there I don't believe. The rest, hub, wheel, rear brake set-up etc is all taken care of ala Ducati. Rocket |

Bubabuell, I like it. Shifts a bit better than standard, but the main reason is that there is a higher top gear. Gives a low like the USA spec 27/61, but with a similar high to the Euro 29/55 ratio. Cyclonemick, That one is from RAM. |

Hey Peter, sweet looking ride, is that rim mounted disc out front an easy mod or did you get the forks from an XB and just mount a disc to your rim? |

Peter, Do you ride it or just polish it whenever you get home? You back yet? SteveP |

Ceejay, Thanks. The front wheel and brakes came from Braking. They used to use a wheel the same as Buells, but now are using a five spoke from Oz Racing. Steve, I'm back. Quite an interesting place. |

Ceejay, take a closer look, those are DUAL perimeter brakes. Better for rapid stopping at the proper place in the red light district. |

Tripper- Nice job with the grinder, but the scratches should be going front-to-back, not outside-to-inside next time for more realism. Sherm |

hey peter. the 2 tubes coming out over your oil filter, what kind of connection is that, who makes them. is it a homemade flange ? the seat is that a Corbin Gunfighter. Cool Bike udholmdk |

It's an oil cooler adapter with built in thermostat. Click here. The seat is an accessory from Buell. |
