Nice! Congratulations!

I just put the "phantom black" ones on my Lightning. They're like a satin (matte?) black. I got them from Saint Paul HD. They're supposed to be for the SS and SCG but they seem great and look super....

55 here... My rides: Firebolt, Lightning, Ninja 636, Ninja 1000 and for days when my back needs a rest, a '19 Camaro SS. It does help to have a good chiropractor too! 😉

Thanks lunatic - I will try this... nothing to lose! It’s really a very small amount off, so hopefully I can correct it old school. Wicked - thanks for the tip. My next block of bike time is mid next...

Hey Lunatic,

I’m not sure if it’s the pullback or not. The right side seems just a little bit closer. You may not be able to see in the pic, but looking at where the bar is in relation to he top...

Hey all,

I made a “soft landing” with my Lightning yesterday due to pea gravel on a paved surface. Minimal damage to me and the bike... mostly my pride. Anyway, after much measuring, it appears...

Love the XR1200’s ... wish I had one but they’re getting a little expensive and like someone already posted, if you’re gonna spend that much on a used bike, it’s hard not to get another Buell. I saw...

I run a DDM HID for the low beam only. It's been installed a couple of years and has continued to work through periods where my Firebolt has had starting problems, electrical issues, etc. I don't...

Not as spectacular as some of you, but definitely dumb.... I had to remove the front fairing from my Firebolt to fix something and when I reassembled everything I put the front turn signals facing...

Shorty levers are perfect for the XBRs IMHO. I bought mine with Pazzos already on it and was gonna change them because I was used to the full length stock levers on my Ninja. After a couple of rides...

Good news then!

frost, I feel bad that no one has replied to your post. I'm in Southern Cal but probably not close as I live between Palm Springs and Coachella. I'm kinda the blind leading the blind... I have ECM...

A couple of years ago I replaced all my Firebolts plastics with carbon fiber. I finished off the air box with the aluminum tank "pad" (which ironically I'm always afraid of scuffing) with the Buell...

I just discovered You Tube videos posted by Mike Baldwin of Buellers riding Deals Gap. Very awesome videos!

I just bought a Shoei RF-1200. I forget what they call the sub model, but it's one with green graphics to match my Ninja. It was a bit expensive, but sometimes you actually get what you pay for....

That trade doesn't seem like a good idea. You might end up with problems in the near future that will cost you money. There's something to be said for knowing your bike well. As the other members...

Have a great Christmas and/or Holiday Season everyone! Stay alert out there!

Cool! The first Firebolt I've heard of with an LED retrofit. I run an HID in the low beam and a halogen for the high. I rarely need to use both. If the lenses and reflectors are in good shape, the...

Awesome - thank you guys for the pointers. I'll start out with the checks you recommend. Oh, and no I didn't set the TPS to zero - don't think the bike would even start in that case.

I've got a couple of issues with my bike (03 XB9R)... Feel free to comment; as always, advice is welcomed!

First, I've had an intermittent starting issue. It used to happen once in a while but...

I'm going to re-revive this thread too.... My Firebolt has been having intermittent start problems and it sounds a lot like this. I haven't yet delved too deeply into troubleshooting but my question...

Damn, I had no idea Michael Czysz was terminally ill... Man, that really sucks. His team was featured in the documentary "Charge". His determination and vision really made an impression on me. It's...

Maybe that was NYC - not sure now. We were just passing through and wanted to stop and look at new bikes.

Yeah, that's the place then. They weren't particularly friendly though.
