1991 Buell RS 1200 VIN # 1B9RS11G7M2133035 9373 miles Stunning Condition I am the original owner. I advertised it over a year ago on this forum. Email me directly for photos and history: reykirkman@comcast.net Located in Salem, Oregon. My photos have too many pixels for this site. US$6,500.00 CONDITION •Properly stored the last 15 years, in good operating condition, ready to ride or display. Dunlop Sportmax touring tires and Westco sealed battery, both with nominal mileage. It was stored with a full tank of “Stabilized” gas; the carb float bowl was drained; battery removed; and cylinders oiled and filled with marine foam motor preservative. Restoration included draining old fuel. Bike was run on starter with plugs removed until there was full oil pressure. Once everything was hooked up, it started within five seconds. •Color. Blue. It is the color shown in brochures of the RS1200 prior to 1991. It was not an option in 1991, but was painted this for an additional negotiated cost of $500. •All RS1200s were delivered with mirrors mounted on the fairing. Road tests by motorcycle magazines indicated the mirrors were virtually useless. I negotiated with Buell to delete these fairing-mounted mirrors; and replace them with bar-end mirrors. The bar-end mirrors supplied by Buell were convex mirrors and of poor quality, so I removed them for better “flat mirrors”. •All RS1200s came with turn signals that were stock Yamaha items, complete with stalks that stuck them way out beyond the fairing. I “sectioned” the stalks, tucking the turn signals tightly to the fairing. •67 RS1200s were produced in 1991. In addition, for the California market 15 bikes were sold as kits. •White Power rear shock. Bike was originally delivered with a Works Performance shock, which is included. •C. R. Axtell #1 cams. C. R. Axtell is a legendary, but reclusive Harley tuner. His cams were sold solely through XRV in Los Angeles. These cams have quite a bit more duration than stock and about 0.007 “ more lift. Stock cams are also included. These cams are not radical. C.R. made a more radical race cam. These cams are just terrific for street use with smooth even power from idle to redline. •Stainless steel braided brake lines custom made by Earls Performance. Included also is a stainless steel braided front brake line that supplied after delivery by Erik Buell, who then was incorporating a braided front brake line onto his production. •1200 RSS dashboard complete with oil temperature gauge. Gauge is not hooked up, and may be inoperative. Stock dashboard is included. •Dyna single fire ignition. Model number is unknown. The advantage of a single fire ignition is a crisper exhaust sound and stronger spark as the “wasted spark’ is no more. •Mikuni carburetor adapted to stock-appearing “Ham Can “ air cleaner cover. . K&N deep stack air filter. Set up by XRV with 17.5 pilot jet, 165 main jet and different air jet. •Zipper billet oil pump with stainless braided oil lines. The OEM Harley pump could not fully evacuate the sump oil at high rpms, which caused oil leakage problems. Zipper did its own oil pump, whose basic design function was later copied by Harley. •Most fasteners have been replaced with polished stainless steel fasteneres. •E-Z Pull clutch assist mechanism. •Chrome Harley clutch and brake levers. •Rare Buell billet foot pegs, shift and brake levers that were briefly marketed by Buell. •Bike has rare Buell touring bars, which were rechromed by Browns. Stock bars are included. •M6 primary chain tensioner. •Currently running with sixteen Supertrapp Discs. PARTS, ITEMS, PAPERS AND MEMORBELIA INCLUDED •An extra set of painted body parts, except for gas tank. The fairing half has a small crack from a garage tip over. •Extra tachometer. •Chrome Lockhart oil cooler and thermostat together with stainless steel braided oil lines. It is not mounted. •All correspondence with Erik Buell; original documentation; most receipts; original brochures; original Buell RS1200 tee shirt. •New Sun Tech balance master crankshaft damper. •New Sun Tech clutch damper. •Barnett Clutch diaphragm removal tool. •Lockhart race stand to raise rear wheel.. •Amp clutch lever assist. •Original Keihin carburetor •Spare main circuit breaker. •Extra Buell body reflectors. •1991 Official Buell shop manual – without a cover and without pictures. This manual was never published, but I talked Dave Gess out of a draft copy. •1991 Sportster shop manual. •1991 Sportster parts manual. •1995 Buell shop manual. •9 extra Supertrapp Disc •Two PowerArc ignition systems. One has never been used. | ||
