My Firebolt is a salvage title rebuild. As long as you can...
Any mods to the bike? I found my Firebolt to be lacking power under 3000 rpm, until I put the Drummer exhaust on there. It was like a whole new bike, with power much lower in the RPM range than the...
Very jealous. The SX is the first new bike I've considered in a long time. If my Firebolt ever dies on me, that's the only thing I'd consider replacing it with.
Those pictures are amazing... I have the same bike. 2004 XB12R in Black & Gold. But after 17k miles, being hit by a drunk driver, and more than a few mods, mine doesn't look so pretty anymore.
Chop it.
Just kidding. I'd ride the hell out of it, or sell it to someone who wants a museum piece and buy something to ride.
I do support the vendors here quite a bit, but I also have a spare set of headers that I plan on repairing and sending out for ceramic coating... but it's one of many winter projects.
It's current use on my bike is to hide the unsightly ding from a drop by the previous owner. At least it was, until the wrap came off the front pipe. I really need to repair that pipe and have them...
No problem. I have Scorpion Trails on the Uly with black wheels for my "daily driver" tires. It looks pretty good with black wheels, too. With a set of Pitbull stands, I can have the wheels...

Seeing one of your Uly's with hiking boots, and now you want to play off-road too?!
The TKC's feel a little rough on asphalt, but once you get used to them, they're completely capable for most...
I saw that video a while back... it made me want to take my Firebolt down fire roads. Fast forward a week or two, and I'm riding my Bolt with the local ADV Riders in what I was told would be a...
I really do need to spend some quality time with the Firebolt and ECM Spy... the only issue I notice is considerable deceleration popping. The Uly has a similar setup, but doesn't have the popping. ...
I talked with Kevin about this quite a bit, asking if the ECM needed to be remapped at all. He said that it works fine with the stock ECM. I haven't noticed any issues with the Ulysses or Firebolt...
I got to ride one this past weekend - RPM in Greenville, SC had the SX and RX available for test rides at Buells in the Alps. Checking my couch for $17,000 in loose change...
I run Drummers with K&N filters and stock ECM's on both my bikes. I love the sound, and they really opened up the low end of the bike over a stock exhaust. It also doesn't hurt that I now live...
Huhlysses - it was nice to meet you on Sunday. Sorry I missed the rest of the group, but I was only able to make it there Sunday morning, and I had to convince my ADV friends to take a slight detour...
I was able to test ride one this weekend at "Buells in the Alps" in Little Switzerland, NC. I'm definitely jealous now - if I was in the market for a new bike right now, I think this would be at the...
Last month ordered a 2nd set of axle sliders for my Firebolt, and a case slider set for my Uly. I've been playing off road a lot more and know it's inevitable that I'll eventually drop it at some...
Took them a few years, but Arlen Ness is finally ripping off Buell:

I had it happen on a "used but in good condition" cover I bought from eBay, and when I discovered the damage it was too late to dispute the purchase.
I keep it with the intention of using it for a...
They're a little rougher on the road, but not bad. After most of a day spent in the dirt, they don't seem bad on the road at all. The braking isn't as bad as everyone told me it would be... but I...
They're balanced, I checked them myself after I got them back. It's just the tread I feel.
I put about 250 miles on them yesterday - about 70 of that on fire roads and in the mud. (I love living...
I use a pitbull stand for both my Buells. They aren't cheap, but make it so much easier to work on the bikes. I can change the wheels out on my Ulysses in just a few minutes using these stands.
I just mounted TKC80's on my Uly wheels. They're amazing in the dirt and mud, but feel like a tank tread on asphalt. I run Scorpion Trails on my "street" set of wheels.
...
Just ordered another set of sliders for my Firebolt. I already have them on my Uly and love them. I also ordered a set of case guards for the Ulysses. I've been taking it off road more and more,...
