Bill I'm not really sure about the best brand!! I bought the buell ones from Central on closeout, and really haven't tried them out yet, maybe tonight. Oh yeah you need to come buy the house and find out why fiddy's are fun, Larry just put a 12 bar on his and we are scraping the hell out of it. | ||
| Hanses25 |
Oh yeah . . . . . . . . .  Welcome Cereal!!! | ||

According to DaveS, Buell doesn't have those suits any more. Don't want an H-D suit, although their latest actually looks good. So I am looking at motorcyclecloseouts.com since they have a store in the area....... Just ordered CityX bars for the Blast and am looking at rearsets now...... this is fun..... | ||

Cereal, I'm awful fat and I discarded the original seat and the first Pro Series seat. I now use the second Pro Series seat that Buell offered on the website. ($200) It's good for 300 miles. I use a Corbin for the TwinTail and it is good for more miles but has it's own problems, too wide between the thighs and can't hang off. Too hard also. Corbin fit is spotty, I had to file mine to fit. The perfect seat for the S1 has not been made. Try Gel pads for long distance. or get an S2. | ||

Tripper: My issue isn't comfort; it's feeling like Wile E. Coyote on an Acme rocket (which isn’t half bad!). Kccylcone: Weather is cooperating? What’s your source? All I’m seeing is thunderstorms. Hanses25: Thanks for the welcome. Shazam: Too late! | ||

Anyway good turn out and lets plan on the same next Friday. Peace out!! (Message edited by hanses25 on May 13, 2005) | ||

Cereal Thanks for coming out tonight, your bike is really cool. Figure out the size of that bolt on your mirror and I'll throw a wrench in my tank bag next time. Zues I almost Shat myself under that bridge man!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . NO . . . . . . . . . . . . . Really | ||

Thanks for the props on the bike, but I feel like destroying it right now. I made it four blocks from The Other Place, and the belt broke clean in half. I spent the next three hours trying to run down a friend with a truck to get it home. I couldn’t have made the run to Lawrence even if I tried. Looks like I won’t be able to make the next ride either, depending on how much this is going to cost me. | ||

Cereal, give Zeus a call tomorrow at Central, he will be able to get you a price and probably a belt. That was a great ride tonight, those bugs looked a lot like rain drops coming down really fast. | ||
| Kccyclone |
Zeus, hook the brother up..... Cereal, sorry to hear about the belt...Next time give me a call we have several trucks between the group and would have happily detoured the ride to help you out...If you need help changing it out just give a holler... Larry | ||
| Cereal |
Larry, Is this a job we can do in your garage? I thought this may be the time I was going to have to bite the bullet and just have the dealer do it. | ||
| Kccyclone |
Cereal, I'm pretty sure we can handle changing the belt ourselves...Do you have the service manual for your bike? | ||
| Cereal |
Larry, Give me a call when you read this. | ||
| Kccyclone |
Hanses' Brothers, what time are we going to Jim and Joany's????????  | ||

What model Buell does Cerial have? We have 2 X1's and a S3T that have thrown 4 belts between'em...the last one was $178 and some change...the X1's were easy to change, the S3T not so much...I fabricated a frame spreader similar to the one pictured in the service manual but, it wouldn't give enough clearance to get the swingarm isolator out...ended up buying a portapower to spread the frame. | ||
| Cereal |
4 belts on three bikes? That sucks! And I thought I was mister bad luck. I've got a '96 S1 with 14500 miles. | ||
| Blktye |
Hi Cereal, That means you'll need to spread the frame...your welcome to borrow my portapower if you need too. Let me know. Andy | ||
| Tripper |
Somebody check those boys' belts tension. Loose is where it's at. Disconnect the shock and lift the rear tire through it's entire throw. The belt is just right when it don't cause any tension in lifting the tire through the center of the arc. Forget the manuals method and NEVER trust your local dealer. Take it to Franks house. | ||

JJ and I just got back from Joany and Jims, (Thanks for the time this afternoon) and they have invited everybody out to the  14th Annual Heart of America Motorcycle Enthusiasts British and European Motorcycle Rally and Swap Meet. It's next Saturday 5-21-05 at Clinton Lake. We thought it would be a nice ride, if anyones interested post up or send me a pm. | ||
| Hanses25 |
Wait till your guys see my new baffles that are taming the stock can I modified!!! Jim is a wiz on that lath!!!! Next year or whenever, we are going to fab something even better, I can't wait, all I need to do is brush up on my welding skills a bit. | ||
| Dustyjacket |
Got my bike home today. It is wonderful to not smell burning oil when I ride, and to not have a white cloud of oil smoke burning off the cylinder when I pull into the garage. However, the dealer did WAY overfill the oil, so I need to drain some tomorrow. | ||
| Shazam |
Cereal, I have two of those belts "just laying around". one used one that you are welcome to if you want to come and get it , and one new one that I would let go for half price - $80 | ||
| Zhdman |
Cereal, Shazam is the man! I figured that if he didn't have a belt, I would have you check with Frank. Speaking of Frank, I guess he waited for us til 7:30 on Friday, so I got to here him wine Saturday,when I got to work. I told him that's what he gets for being a CAR PUNK!!!! To the my fellow SOAKED SIX PACK, once again, thanks for riding Friday! In my opinion that was still better then just bickering on he frigging computer. Let's do this again. Who knows maybe we could get a few more to come over to the darkside.  Mr.Fischer, good to see you today sir! Now let's get some miles on that XB. I'm going to get your turn signals for the front, what was the part # for your helmet, we got busy at the store today and I forgot. Sorry, my bad.  Dasbuell, good to see you today! Thanks again for the sling bag. Now I just have to keep it hid from my wif. If she see's it, it'll be a goner for sure.  Did you guy's make it over to Dennis' today? Should've went with you. Worked on the mustang for four hours and the thing still isn't fixed.  Just need a bigger hammer! | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
We didn't make it to Dennis's house today, I had a graduation party I had to attend and JJ and Larry didn't get home until later tonight and then boxing was on. If JJ can get a hold of Dennis we will go over there tomorrow. | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
Ceral, if you want to get a hold of Sam give Larry a call and we will get you his number. He has his own tuber parts department in his garage. (Message edited by thansesxb9rs on May 15, 2005) | ||

Zeus, unfortunately Jim's exhaust mod took longer than expected and we didn't make to see Dennis. We are going to have to reschedule so maybe you can make it then. The baffles Jim made for double J look PIMP... | ||
| Thansesxb9rs |
Zeus, did you ask Paul if he is ever going to come back to the Badweb and talk with us again? |
