    240mm. If you want to choose just one custom work do tire instead of exhaust.

    Ya, for sure. That makes sense. Instead of modding your bike inexpensively for better sound and performance, spend triple the money on a pointless one that kills the handling Buells are known for.


    MMarvin: Go ahead if thats your thing but IMO, I sure wouldn't make it my first mod.

    bikes back fellas just a friendly update. Front tire needed to be cleaned the needle was very dirty from my understanding...weird, and I will be purchasing the speed sensor myself and just put it on. Mechanic told me the threads were worn so its time for a new one regardless. All wires are good, no issues there so that's my plan. Found one on surdyke for 47.99. Cooter I don't plan on spending 1500 on a back tires lol I prefer sound and performance. Don't want to take away anything my my buell. Custom work leads to more problems down the road.

    I second all of this.

    Did they clean the valve stem instead of replace it? Speed sensor has no threads... aside from the screw that holds it in. (BTW I have had to replace mine on the same model and year, they don't last forever) Did you possibly mean the treads on the tire were worn and are just ADD'ing from topic to topic haha?
