    yea, where is your left-hand air scoop? It doesn't look like you did the zero-resistance airbox swap. If you had you don't need the left-hand scoop, but without the left-hand scoop you'll run a little rich otherwise. Not sure how much difference it would actually make though. I'd just mod for the zero-resistance airbox if you don't have one, it does give a small HP increase.

    Yes I always wear my Jacket Gloves Helmet and HD riding boots when i go out. Being 17 and going from $7g to $2g and next year iam a SR look at KSU so money is very tight Mums a teacher so Iam on my own with my baby. Iam proud to brag though I am very good with my $$$ and I might add a few more things once i get my license. Riding with friends on permit.
    The Pipe is a Randy "Hawk"ins pipe he does the dual as a standard, but mine are angled more out and down like a street sweeper. All his pipes pop a little bit on decel but I pull the clutch and coast kills the pop and is easier on the bike.
    As for the scoops I want a newer right side and am looking to get a replacement for my left. I got screwed on ebay and didnt realize it was missing till a week after i got it and i went back to the pics and it was missing in them too.
    ive been through two so called buell dealers on the phone and the air scoops just dont exist (yes they did have some on the sales floor) so iam planning on riding down and shoving my small size ten up their ass.
    Iam thinking about some new mirrors not barend though. and for the bars mine are good and $$$ is an issue so over indulging isnt happing much.
    AND THE PULLY...I know the belts last longer and are better than chains but you think I should get a new Pulley and Belt to have stocked just in case.

    With an 03 from eBay I would stock a spare just in case. You don't need the upgrade belt and pulley set on the side just keep an eye out for a good deal if you can get it. ASB stocks the 03 style and you can just get a spare that way. I put 12k on mine before I took it off and it's still like new. So if you ride reasonably it won't be an issue but you never know what the last guy did to it. The upgrade isn't mandatory, I did it for piece of mind. As far as bars, if you are happy don't change. But if you do want to a swap to chrome clubmans it should only be about $30 or so shipped and another $15 to mount. Mirrors are a matter of opinion, find some you like at a price you can afford, worst case, stick with stock because they still work.
    Protect your legs too. Chaps pants armor. Whatever you can get.

    Ill look into the armor for the summer and keep an eye out for a pully and belt. I tend to ride "reasonably" but being a teen atleast once I roll off and get up with traffic on the highway go. maby a hard take of once or so when i havent rode in a long time.
    And the only bad thing ive learned is it was prolly wheelied because they (dealership) put new tires on and my suspension was outta whack. It has also been through lots of water. She runs good and most rust has been polished and buffed out.

    let's see - where to spend money first for a 16 yo rider?...or any rider for that matter.

    advanced handling course would be a good start!

    Can be a sign of a battery on the downhill or a loose frame ground/battery connection.

    Why do we have a clock?
    I'm glad we do, can't see a wristwatch so with the clock on bike - I can see which route I can take to work.

    Does anyone know if i can still get the pagusus vinal that goes on the tank behind the frame pucks?
    Matter makes those, his email is buried somewhere in his thread - I'd contact him with that.

    And any advice before i ride 2up for the first time...driving and suspension.
    Take a look at your manual - add your weight & hers and check the settings. Might not have to worry about Compression & Rebound since you're going to take it easy. I would suggest at least adjusting the Pre-load though. (Don't do much 2up riding so maybe someone else will weight in.)
