South of Fort Worth. I have run into a few who knew what she was, then there are those who have no idea. Good to know of another Bueller in North Texas.

Barrett, I found the part # but could not find one in stock in the dealership network. I ended up ordering a used one on eBay so I don’t have to splice the wires and can just plug and play. Thanks...
I always wondered what Erik’s reasoning was for the asymmetrical scoops. At one time considered finding matching scoops but decided that they are one of the many things that makes a Buell a Buell.
The original rear brake switch on my 04 XB12S has bit the dust. Looked online and did not have much luck locating one other than used, which can be a crap shoot. Anyone have a good one they are...
Yes, welcome fellow Texan. Not sure how many of us are out there and it is a big state. I can count on one hand the number of Buells I have seen in the Fort Worth area over the ten years
I have...
Congrats. I am eyeing one myself. A guy that lives in my neighborhood has one that he is thinking about selling and he told me if he does that I will have first dibs since I have a Buell and take...
Mine is worth more to me than I would every get for it. Will keep it and someday, when I have the time, money, and second Buell, plan to do a full restore.
Cooter, I would vote for you as moderator out of the shear humor and delight it would bring. If I ever found myself Buelless, I would still check out BuellXB just to get my Cooterisms fix.
On...
I feel you. We moved to the Fort Worth area about 10 years ago and bought my Buell soon after. The best I can say for North Texas is finding some back roads with twisties. Before Texas, and four...
I pulled my rear wheel to replace my tire, wheel bearings, and belt on my 04 XB12S. In the process the plastic elbow connecting the remote reservoir hose the rear master cylinder broke, see attached...
Nice work! I also am a fan of the headers. On my someday list is to get that done along with my Hawk exhaust. I know a guy with a XB9SX with 4k miles who is thinking about selling it and approached...
Meso, thanks for sharing. I have also tried to improve my XB12S for touring and commuting. I bought mine with 18k miles in 2011 for $3300. With kids in school and involved in lots of activities that...
He was planning on moving this fall. Not sure if he has already left the country yet or not. Give him call and see. He is always fun to talk to and usually learn something new.
FYI. I gave Randy a call this summer with a simple question. About 45 minutes later I learned that he is retiring, moving to central America, was invited to come and visit and offered to pick me up...
More times than I want to hear!
Wasn't sure where to post this. Interesting review of a prototype Fluid 1-S from Revzilla with an acknowledgement of Erik and his engineering advances in Buell and EBR.
...
Here is one of those examples of the forum making me laugh. Someone suggesting that Cooter doesn't know what he is talking about? HAHAHA.
Doing 50k Maintenance this weekend. Have a new belt and steering head bearings on order and will replace next weekend. Replacing axle bearings, oil, replace and bleed brake fluid, etc. The guy in my...
So, yesterday I turned 50k miles on my 04 XB12S. I had to take a moment to send a shout out to all the members who helped me learn about her after I got her, maintenance tips, troubleshooting,...
Thanks Cooter. And get out of my skirt!
34nineteen, thanks. Good to know that the fork ground might not exist on my 04. Good tip on cluster ground. Will check and post what I find. I even opened up the but all seemed good. Sprayed some...
lunatic, GRD 1 and 3 are on the right side of the tail and GRD 2 is on the left side of the tail (as shown on page 189). I am not the best electrical diagram reader, where am I missing the front...
Still curious if the 04 XB12S has the ground at the fork since mine does not and has not seemed to be a problem, unless related to tack. 49k miles, well maintained and taken care of.
Hey Cooter, how do I check the tach signal at the plug or what am I looking for. I know that there is a table in the electrical guide that shows the voltages that should correlate to speed but I have...
The tach on my 2004 XB12S is behaving erratically. I have checked electrical connections including fuses and relays, done the earth ground cleaning, cleaned all electrical connections, and added the...
