This would be what you would add for zinc:

Too many variables: location? How much someone is looking for that model/year and is therefore willing to spend; season of the year; whether your mod's are desirable for someone else; etc.

Get the x1. There are more interchangeable parts with a sportster in the engine. The tube frame makes access to the engine easier. They are rarer, so scoop one up now; you will find xb's around a...
Yeah, Shinko makes other tires besides the longer-wearing Ravens, if you don't mind shorter tire life with better handling. Look at 003 Stealth, 005 Advance or 006 Podium. A scrub-down with brake...
I see you've been moved over to the Blast forum, which is where you will get the best Blast-specific info. Welcome.
Walmart Supertech works fine. Cheap as chips. Change often, like every 2500 miles; also before putting your bike away for the winter if you do that, so old oil with water and crud in it doesn't get...
What bike? XB's: check oil when bike is hot, on side stand (not upright).
What MacBuell said - change filter with oil. I'd go every 2500 miles.
The colors denote the strength of the "lock." Purple is lowest, then blue, then red. I think there are even others, but not used so much. Permatex and Loctite are basically the same, and I think...
If you check your manual, I believe the '09's tell you it's fine to use HD Syn3. Funny how, before HD sold synthetic blend oil, the manual didn't mention synthetics, but when they started selling...
You should clean off the engine really well and powder it up with spray foot powder or baby powder, talc, whatever, to see exactly the source of the leak. It could be a leaky rocker cover gasket -...
Yep. It goes in the gas. But if you need to clean the exterior of the heads, just go to an auto parts store or to Wallyworld and buy an engine de-greaser to spray on. Follow the directions.
For turn signals integrated, go to Robert at xblights.net
Even brighter than the Buell LED unit, and customizable, including license plate light, light pattern, etc.
And he uses the stock light...
There are a couple of references in the manual to using purple Loctite.
Most of the shop manual references will tell you either red or blue Loctite. There are also a few references to purple...
Proper chain tension helps a lot of things. How's the shifting with the adjusted primary?
Your 2006 has the updated primary tensioner piece, so no worries there.
The problem with going to the hardware store for these is that they will nost probably not have the conical shape that seats well into the recess of the plastic, with the nylon washer. It might...
Not as "cost effective" as the above option, but Baldwin saddles is another option. Loren, the owner, is a Bueller.

And can be "pulled" by deactivating it in ecmspy as well, so no need to physically pull the wire out. Yes, for 9's only.
I like it w/o the chin. And it does look a lot like the 'Trapp on my S2.
Have you checked the battery's charge level? I keep wanting to steer you to the simplest things first, and if you can knock out options like an intake leak (fast and easy to check), a lot of...
Can you hear the whine of the fuel pump when you turn the key with kill switch on (before pressing start switch? Just a quick audio diagnostic check.
If you need to replace the fuel pump before...

What a great idea for sport touring on a Buell: get your Yam-riding buddy to tote all the bags!

+1 on best bearings out there: look for NSK or Timken, not made in China stuff. Buell...
Standing allows me to pull off one flip-flop and slide it under the sidestand, and then use the bottom of my wife-beater tank top to keep any stray gas drips from a'fallin' on th'airbox cover. It...
