Duct tape is good Duct tape is our friend. Visited with my brother the other day and went fishing. Caught a few and left for dinner at a really cool place. Good food nice people and HOT HOT HOT waitresses. Not that I notice those things. Got no wheels to get around so its been hard to visit any of the Buell dealers. I'm workin on a bitchin tan though. You can do that with a temp of 82 and 30 percent humidity. But who's watching the weather............Mattu |

Thankyou very much. I'll do my best to get-r-done asap. I'll have fond memories of the weather and bikinis not to mention dozens of pictures. Oh yeah, I saw a Buell today, it was in the movie Ghost Rider. Yet to see one. Lotta hogs and rice rockets. If I lived here I would certainly be unique. Tommorow Beachin' it. Cya.........Mattu |

rum-didya get the swingarm on OK? ride report from Utah-well I didn't ride, brought my gear but they didn't have any sportsters to rent and I don't make enough to rent a bigger bike at 130 per day, but I saw about 1000 (literally) out today. 70 and sunny, not sure where they were going as most seemed to be sitting in the gas stations jawing at one another but stil cool to see. I was kinda amazed that there were very few sport bikes (95% harley, 97% cruiser/chopper type) given the mountains and curvey roads, maybe they were all ridding and not sitting . My wife told me the weather was wonderful in cbus and that I needed to get back home and enjoy it![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/bigwink.gif) |

Ceejay, Yeah like a glove thanks for the diagrams I'll give them a A++++ they helped alot. Header & pipe is wraped & painted we decided to paint the pipe black also. I think im going to like the renthal ultra lows. Catch can is done i went with flat black also there to. All and all the bike is looking real good. But one thing is pissing me off. I bought a brand new battery last year and i think its junk already. Every time i try to start it it make a funky clicking noise from the starter but as soon as i hook jumpers on it fires right up. |

Rum, did you fill it then charge it? If its a maintenance free, you still got to charge it first. I always was told by the battery guy at work they get their first real charge when you do it at the shop. Check your connections too. Especially the ground on the bike side. Good luck and good job finding that aluminum stock. Rember to send diameter of the tank.....Mattu |

Having problems getting the carbon tank cover to mate up with the side panels that go on after you remove stock airbox. Going slow so I dont scratch 235 dollar part!

Man am I dissapointed. Got bike all together and that shiny new header done by Jet Hot is pitting. I called and they will make it right. Just means more down time for the Buell. Hey, you still need that chin? I found another. My bike looks awesome BTW. Ran around my "block" today and had a good ride. Just bummed about header. Oh well, they'll fix it. Cant ask for any more than that. |

Just in case you didn't get the e-mail i sent ya. You asked about aluminum yes i can get all you want. I paid like $12 bucks for those two chunks i sent you. I think it was a pretty good price but then again i might of got ripped off. Because i deal with Stainless steel not aluminum. I started checking on prices to get the manta tank painted red for now to match the bike. I plan on having everything done in black next winter. So you see a chin in my future huh. O great one how much do you think this chin is going to run me. |
