You should look into a regulator from either one of these companies. Roadstercycle.com or https://ricksmotorsportelectrics.com/l/rectifier-regulators E

Ummm...... As soon as that hits the belt tensioner or belt guards on your Buell, it will cause damage and probably lock up the rear wheel
I've had better luck with this brand of belt vs factory. I put the last one through 32,000 miles of blatant abuse before it broke. No guards, dirt/gravel roads, short shifting, minor wheelies, and...
Maybe clutch slipping or not adjusted correctly......?? I can hit 110mph easily with my GF on the back(combined weight 340lbs) and it's not even topped out.
My family moved from the Portland area to the Colorado mountains, just west of Denver, 28yrs ago. Best decision my parents could have ever made. Your basically trading around 300 days of crummy...
First part of the vid used to be my commute.
Little brisk at 40 degrees, roads were a little dirty, still had a blast riding 65 miles of curvy roads.

Nice find, wish I could have picked up mine that cheap.
You really lucked out on the exhaust, one of the best made and hardest to find.
Frame damage looks to be relatively minor in the...
I have my handle bars filled with BBs. Never noticed any affect on handling and my right hand no longer goes numb on longer rides.
2006 XB12Ss - 39,xxx miles
last 6 months: only 1500 miles :(
Been a light year, tend to put 5000-7000 miles on during the summer.
Forgot to mention, I had a stock seat shaved an inch to try and help with getting my feet on the ground. Didn't really help at all and it killed the ergonomics of the bike for me. Bike went from...
No idea how it would be for a passenger, almost no padding on the back part of the seat. Plus a cool little logo saying no pass. allowed. I use the stock seat for the rare occasions I have a pass.
Welcome to Colorado. I play in the canyons just west of the Denver area on my 2006 XB12Ss. https://youtu.be/ekeR2AoFvCw
I've put over 30,000 miles on my Ss and looking forward to the next 30,000 plus miles. :)
I'm only 5'7" and use an urban assault seat on mine 95% of the time. It's easier for me to touch the...
Glad to hear your getting the bike sorted out :)
^^sounds more like Harley's screaming eagle oil.....
I've been using Lucas full synthetic 20w-50 for the last 20,xxx miles and have been very happy with it. Bike shifts better, runs better, runs...
Same user name on the csc forum :D
What part of Co are you in?
"Hi" from a fellow Colorado Bueller :)
I would start with the fuel pump problem, mine left me stranded 30 miles from home. Had a wire worn through at the pump, repaired it and have put another...
Interesting, didn't realize the 08+ bikes mpg was worse.
Tempting to try the same oils and see if I notice any difference in my mpg.
Kind of surprised you mpg was that low to begin with. Done anything with the muffler, intake or ecm?
I average 50-52 mpg at my general riding pace in the mountains and I average 58-60 mpg at a...
I've been adding 1.5-2oz of Marvel Mystery oil to my tank for the last 20,xxx miles. Very happy with the quieter fuel pump and how much smoother the bike seems to run.
The only reason they say to take the pegs off is because the urban assault seat is not rated for a passenger. Even has a nice imprint on the seat . It's just some legal bs, leaving the pegs on will...
Your not getting enough air, fuel or spark. I'd start with checking the air filter, spark plugs and fresh tank of gas.
Because of the shape of the urban assault seat I can get more of my foot on the ground then I can with a stock seat. It's less then 1/2in taller and has a little more narrow profile.
