Nothing too fancy. Just a less-cluttered, more refined looking Lightning. I removed the decals, some of the belt guard, put rear turn signals on the front, chopped the tail section, and some other minor things. A very subtle, clean look is my forte. Now, I just need to scuff the new tires and get rid of the chicken strips. That is, if the snow ever stops around here.   (Message edited by cgocifer on April 10, 2007) | ||

I'd like to see an XB9/12s with an x1 single 8" round front headlight and fairing setup... Has that been done? | ||

Hellbender XB. Might have been posted up before, I just ran across it on the net and though I would post it up. And the price, OUCH!!!! Here's a copy of the article.  If you start with a bike like a Buell XB9R which is already fairly minimal and take off what you don’t think is necessary, you end up with a pretty basic bike. If you add a turbo, you end up with something that looks like a lot of fun. Jens Krüper has a company called Hillbilly Motors over in Germany and this Buell is the result of his handiwork. Specializing in high performance and racing parts for Buells, Jens put together the Hellbender to give other builders some ideas and to show how a few of his parts can dramatically change the bike. Horsepower with the M-Tek turbo is 145 plus you get 121 foot pounds in the torque department, the only problem I see is keeping the front end planted, but not everyone would consider that a problem. If you like lots of power in a short, light package, you can buy many of the pieces he used from his company. He offers the short tailsection and seat, triple tree, footpegs, handgrips, sprokets, belt tensioner, in other words, you can do some of this work yourself and try to build a bike like this or, if you wait until he is done with the final assembly work and showing the bike around, you can buy it from him for 27.000 Euro or $32,000. Pretty cool. Lots more pics and specs at: http://www.hillbilly-motors.com/html/hellbender_4.html Thought it was worth a post. Hodakaguy | ||

This is my first bike - my baby... a 2004 Lightning XB12S! I bought it in February and it only has 340 miles on it. I got a great deal on it.   | ||

not a buell but I dig it. I would like to see the straight bar for the seat be curved or something so it flows better.  | ||

Not so Cool Buell...  I found it on ebay  | ||
