Dang - thanks Barrett guy! You made that look easy. I ordered it.
My pin broke off the foot peg so I'd like to find a replacement. It looks like they just screw into the peg. I'll try to easy out the broken piece from the peg which is in otherwise perfect...
And thanks for the tip about Matt...
Wow you are right. I ordered one at my local Harley dealer. I guess I'm so conditioned to expect everything is obsolete & unavailable for most of my bikes. Then again, maybe I got the last one haha
Anyone have a genuine Buell front silver brake lever with pivot bolt and nut for an 07 XB9R that they would like to sell to me?
Hey 3419 - thanks for your helpful info. I didn't know about Stillwell. I gave them a call and they said bring the forks in and they would source the parts & do the work. And they are only 2-3 miles...
I'm clueless. Vats Dat? Something Maxwell Smart would do?
Looks like it's time to give the forks a little attention on my 07 XB9R. The right one is starting to get wet. Any advice? They are 43mm Showa, right? Is this an easy DIY job? My local Harley and...
Hagerty wants $315 for CBX now. Progressive $160. What a pain trying to find the best insurance deal. Glad I have Excel to keep track of everything!
If anyone else is curious, here is what I have so...
Thanks chief but I got a quote of $763 from Dairyland and $375 from Progressive so far. Gotta love the $2,861 from Nationwide!
Well Geico did me a bad thing. My yearly rate went up 80%. They say they are readjusting rates for the state (Arizona) & it has nothing to do with me (no claims & perfect record). No notice, just a...
I appreciate all the thoughts on my question. Barrett, I had similar thoughts which is why I asked for opinions here amongst the "experienced". She has changed her mind a bit after reading comments...
My daughter really likes Buells (good kid) and is even thinking about getting one. Other than a 3 hour introductory class which she loved, she has no riding experience other than horses & bicycles....
Somewhere last year I happened upon some kind of doc that showed how many of each model were made each year. Durned if I can find it again. Anyone?
30 in the back yard!? That's where they all went? As for repairs, I can't imagine not being able to handle most myself. Probably goes without saying but I guess I'll say it, if you can't make most...
Well I've had my 07 XB9R for 14 months now. So far I've put 1137 miles on it. Not a lot but enough to know I like this bike. I've kinda wanted a Buell since around 2004 when I became aware of its...
Just because I can and to be a smart ass:
Gasoline combustion - 3250 F
Induction furnace - 5450 F
Acetylene flame - 4080 F
Glowing cigarette - 1450 F
Dull red heat - 1300 F
Cherry red heat -...
Hey no hate. Who knew what stuff would be worth in the future? Even in damaged condition, it would now buy several refrigerators full of beer (including the refrigerators)! But probably not the big...
Left to right: 2007 Buell XB9R, 1975 Honda CB400F, 1979 Honda CBX, 1971 Honda SL350. Things are not all bikes here. Building a 428 CJ engine for my 69 Mustang Mach I.

Sometimes the problem is trying to decide who to give some attention to. All four are cool but the Buell exceeds my expectations :)

I self train and filter as many ways as possible. Couldn't find an applicable Buell video. Perhaps that's why I asked here...

Thanks. Got the gasket. Upon replacing, the "old" gasket looked great but there was definitely a leak. Is the gasket installed dry or should I use a gasket sealer? Any torque spec for the two...
Me again. I just noticed an oil stain on the engine. It's not so bad that it leaves anything on the garage floor (yet). I know engine work quite well but I've never been in one of these engines...
I finally got off my tuchas and fixed the switch. Rays was correct. Not a big deal to fix. Here is a before pic. Yuk...
