Man, I'm not exactly getting the warm-fuzzies here. I know all bikes have issues (I've owned a number of bikes over the years) but just don't like the thought of having to deal with broken primary covers on a bike that has been out of production for the last 5 years (IE: parts are only going to get harder to come by).
Still, I love my Buell. I'm going to have to mull this one over for a while.
Its really not a hard problem to fix, either get a new cover or get the dflack cover fix. The buell's are a pretty hardy motorcycle plenty going to high millage.
