since reading the posts about belts, i got to thinking. the following rant's not directed at anyone specific, but it does describe some of how i feel about...
The main reason I bought a Buell instead of a UJB is because of its almost infinite repairability. Ride it hard, fix it back up, replace what doesn't work...
that's actually a big part of why i got one, too. and i think one could argue that that kind of repairability is at least partially due to those very racing...
FYI- I'm the founder of the original "BuellsBlast" group that somehow disappeared last week. I've tried to recreate it and need the old members back, if you...
Any opinions about the new X9B based Lightning? Buell unveiled it on 13 July...go see it a Buell.com So, the Lightning and Cyclone are now Lightning and...
main opinion: the XB9R and the XB9S are identical, except for body panels. it should be easy to change one into the other with a half hour and a wrench. if...
I think I'll just stick to my M2. My big ass will hardly fit on a Firebolt! ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Health...
I don't know...Seems like the Firebolt is more like a "racing" X1 and the XB9S is more like a "hooligan" S1 (both really great, IMHO). I don't really see a...
Wolf, don't forget the higher handlebars and lower pegs as well. Here's hoping they graft a couple hundred more cc's onto these babies soon! "Don't make me...
i'd say don't hold your breath. rumor is that the XB engine will end up as harley's replacement for the XL engine. if that happens, maybe buell will work on a...
... The magazine IronHorse has a short article rumoring (is that a word?) what they're calling an XB12R _motor_ for a 2004 Sportster. From that you can draw...
Hey, I would like to join your group, the yahoo website isn't very friendly. Ruth Green is my name. My Blast has rear sets, recalibrated suspension, after...

Ruth, your Blast! sounds awesome! You should post some pics of it (and your other bikes) on the yahoo groups site. Where are you located? There is another...
i'd be interested in knowing what kind of ignition you've got on that blast. and who made the exhaust? post some pictures! there's a folder on the website for...

Getting ready to change out my rocker box gaskets on my '99 X1. Does anyone have any suggestions to make this task any easier? I've seen the links on...
Hello: My wife purchased a Blast today. The bike has 1,000 miles on it and needs the first service. Does anybody on the board know how to adjust the primary...
You loosen the locknut on the bottom of the primary tighten the bolt to 24inlbs{as i recall my manual is at the shop}and tighten the locknut. Feel free to call...
I note with sadness, a tragegy in our tiny community. The following is first news of the loss of a lady, that by all accounts was a happy, bubbly and...
Hi there, I had my Harley stolen last week so I've been shopping around over the past few days. I just took both an X1 and an XB for a ride here in Australia. ...
This is truly terrible, terrible sad news. I had just recently become acquainted/aware of Brad and Ruth from Brad's posts to the group. My heart goes out to...
