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...

Thanks Rays et al. Your info is much appreciated!

My ignition switch has started to act up. It has become very sensitive to the position it is rotated to. The normal detent position no longer works properly. I have to finagle it a bit to find a...

I have Pirelli Angel tires on my 07 XB9R. 180/55 ZR 17 in rear and 120/70 ZR 17 in front. I just it would be wise to check the date codes but I'm not sure how to decipher what I found. I'm guessing...

Hey either way the helmet is head protection :D

Guess that leaves a helmet security tie-down? If so, it seems kinda kludgy. Where would it anchor? The tail section seat latch? I suppose I could figure out a way to anchor it to my fly but that...

I'm close? A tow rope? :)

I'm starting to get an idea that the cable is used with a helmet as a security device although I don't see how. Could be wrong. Maybe a tow rope for pulling a mini-bike? Looks like I'll forever be a...

Oh crap, is that where the helmet is supposed to go!?

Hmm... Too small to hang myself - at least by the neck...

Am I missing anything (tools that is)? What is the wire bail for?

I need to fix the mounting for my turn signals but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to access the area. The "trunk" liner doesn't seem to want to come out. Do I have to remove the whole tail...

Well now, your frame picture makes it clear. The problem is, the little piece is missing on mine. That's a puzzle. I guess I could fabricate a replacement and weld it on.

Thanks guys. It looked a little curious to me. Another question, is the seat supposed to be held down by something more than the two bolts at the rear?

I installed the missing exhaust bushing I described in a different post (https://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?56861-Missing-bolt-question). Yes I loosened all exhaust fasteners and tightened...

I'm picking up what you guys are putting down. Not riding the beast until this is fixed! Thanks!!
