The mirrors suck. Look into bar end mirrors.
Amazing riding out that way especially the three sisters. Was out that way in march and can't wait to get back.
Got the bike back today. I have to give a big shout out to Conrad's in Joliet, IL. They were very easy to work with and the mechanic that worked on my bike seemed very interested in getting the bike...
I am waiting on a stator also. Dealer says it isn't back ordered, just waiting to be packed and shipped. I think that is a fancy way of saying 'SOL'. Already suffering rider withdrawals.
Purchased bike in march.
Mile1 - Bike will not start after being dropped off by the dealer. Adjusted throttle cables to get it going.Headlight blown. Replaced it.
Mile 4200 - battery stops...
Nice bike! Should have gotten black. It's much faster than red! :)
Check out the buell finder. From a 100+ CR and R's in May down to 1 each in Illinois. Wow
I too do not mind the lobster claw look. I was able to see the rear of my bike lined up against other sport bikes recently. I hadn't noticed how squat (lower to the ground the rear is). I think I...
This trip was definitely last minute, but I will post up the ride if I decide to do it in the future.
Now that I think about it, there are two other factors that I think aided in the reduction of the wind blast. Maybe it's just my perception but I think the tank bag has helped to deflect the wind. I...
I have had the lip on for the past couple thousand miles or so. It has made a huge difference to me keeping the wind blast off my chest and helping me to sustain speeds of 75mph or so for long...
US2 was not a problem. The only real delay was going through some of the touristy towns as to be expected. It was a great experience. Do it if you can.
Finally did something I thought about for a long time. Checked the weather report Thursday evening got a good report and loaded up the bike with tools and camping gear to ride around the lake.

Both from ebay. Just search and they will come up if the links below don't work. I drilled a hole through both sides of the head lamp cover to mount the signals. Nothing major.
Turn signal:...
Ok this is it. I think. I will not, I swear, will not spend any more money on additional parts for this bike I am done. Well maybe a tailbag, and a fender eliminator, and a stand, and a .......

What you don't like the front signals? Neither did I, they were just what I had available in the garage at the time. I have since upgraded them.
After installing the laminar and taking it on an 850 mile weekend jaunt I am extremely happy with the purchase and not looking for another screen. The lip fits the bill.

You really notice the difference on those longer rides.
Ok so here are a few pics of the installed laminar lip in smoke gray. Took it out for a quick spin up to 100MPH. The screen makes for a totally different riding experience. I no longer have the...
AussieBuell - I have never been one to wash bikes much. This bike seems to be a dirt magnet so I will have to change my ways to keep her presentable.
I ordered the laminar lip in smoke. I will...
I picked up the Wilson Tennis racket Foam Grip from Wally World. You need one pack per grip. Grand total is $5. Don't know how long it will last. The vibes are down and because I have big mits, I...
Finally got around to taking some pics of mods for the CR.
