    So, today is the day that I broke even. A little over a month into the project. The rest is gravy, as they say. I have hundreds of items left to sell. I haven't even touched the wheels yet, and picked up another huge box of plastics on Saturday.....and there's more to get also. So at this point, it's just work, but it's a direct pay back now. Definitely a lot of work.....but I knew that going in. And the project forced me to clean up the main room in my basement and build some great shelves.

    Will do, but doubtful there's any Buell part at all. It's mostly sportbike stuff.

    I have a complete yellow tail from a 2007 xb12r with trunk and pillion.
    I also have a black airbox cover and flatscreen off a 2004 xb12s.
    PM me if you're interested.
    Sorry Webbie, I'm not trying to thread jack, 3419 brought up the plastics.

    I'm mainly looking for airbox covers, windscreens, and fenders. I already have black and blue. I'm still trying to lock down a white chin and fender.

    I strongly suggest being VERY cautious with any sales of any of those wheels....do you know if they are true, wobble, have cracks? Do you wanna be the guy responsible for another guys get off?

    I agree with a good inspection by both parties, but buying used parts comes with an obvious Caveat Emptor.
