View Full Version : Picking up my 2017 SX on Monday

This has been nearly a month in the making, but I have officially purchased my first ever brand new vehicle, a 2017 EBR 1190 SX in Strike Yellow (1 of 10 built in this color) with 6.8 miles on it. Bought it from James at Action Powersports and I will be flying up there Monday to pick it up, and after a few fun days, start the 1000 mile ride back home to Colorado.

I've been sending parts up to Aagard's place to install right after I pick up the bike, so it will look, sound, and perform just how I want it for the trip home. IDS programmable ECM, APH twin exit exhaust, 44t rear sprocket, twisted designs carbon fiber tail tidy, T-Rex engine case sliders, 50dro axle sliders, RX brake scoop, Flexi-Glass racing front fender, Rizoma mirrors, Motosox reservoir covers, and a Motion Pro Rev2 throttle setup. I have always optioned out my bikes, but usually over time, start a big project, and get bored before I ever really meet my end goal. I feel very blessed, fortunate, and thankful that through a perfect storm of situations, I was able to buy this bike and extras, and make it all come together for really what I consider to be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I saw my bike at the EBR factory last month during the liquidation, so even though it's not technically at the factory anymore, it still feels more or less like I am picking it up from the factory. Showcasing this extremely rare bike on a ride I will never forget, that, because of my 1 y/o daughter and life in general moving on and getting busier, may not happen again for a very ling time, if ever. Also getting to ride up to Lambeau field is an extremely exciting opportunity in itself for this life-long Packer fan. Getting to meet so many new faces, see so many faces again, and, possibly, hopefully, the legend himself, is a dream come true for this new daddy : ) .

Congrats and what a way to do it! Take the tools for a chain tension adjustment JIC. I've done many oil changes in many Wal-mart parking lots;)

Man this is killing me. I am one of those dummies that thought "Wow, what an awesome bike, V-twin, made in America, not a Harley and a sportbike to boot". I took advantage of the big deal $2000 discount back in 2014 and "only" paid $16,000 for my RX. 3 months later it was bye bye for EBR.

Beyond P.Oed at this but what can one do except enjoy the ride. Some of the dealers I know are feeling downright murderous at the treatment they got. Bad chapter in American motoring history. Sure let us hate the Dot Indians, must be all their fault. Jeez!

Thanks Silver, I believe we had that conversation on the EBR Forum :) . I love the APH, I'm using Tim's APH tune in the programmable ECM for now. Planning to upgrade to Alan's headers and maybe sell my APH muffler and have him build me a new one with some slight changes.

You are probably correct, Check with Cooter he may want the pipe from you, he needs more HP. :D

Don't even start Silver:black_eyed:. I'm resisting buying an RX for a track bike as I am collecting all the stuff to convert the SX to an RX because I'm an idiot that can't control himself messing with stuff... help!:angel:
