Are these just for appearances, or will they offer some protection? Never needed mine but I have read the pucks basically help for tip overs...
Either way, Nice job on tackling this project.

They do a pretty good job of spreading the load and avoiding a frame dent for a minor crash. Buell frame dent = salvage:(

Hi All. I am so proud to let you all know we DID IT. You can see our listing for the Pucks on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-XB-No...X/383531519344
We ended up going with a different method of making them because in the end we decided a harder, tougher polymer was better than the soft rubber ones. Our stock will be low on ebay until the end of the month because we are fulfilling commitments we made. We will be cranking up our output 3 week of this month.Attachment 13421https://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-XB-No...X/383531519344Attachment 13421Attachment 13422Attachment 13423
Nicely done Doug!!! Thanks for helping the Buell community to get a long-lost part back into production.
At first I was wondering why you went with the rougher surface, but I see that your model can be spray painted over if minor scratches. What kind of speckled paint are you recommending?
Whos gonna test them!!!!
Nice job. :eagerness:
We are gonna gather a list of things you need to make....just sayin....
We are using (2) coatings on them. First is a flexible rubber coating which is then over-coated polyurethane for UV protection. I have been testing for months with crush testing (testing one material vs another) and outside exposure. The final test is when I mounted them on my 2005 XB9 which is pictured here. Attachment 13427
Are these the same ones?
