Evening all.
Have finally scratched my Buell itch, ten + years after a test ride at Riders of Bridgewater.
XB9R, spotless, (until I got hold of it) late of Mr Jez N of this parish.
At the moment am tweaking the suspension, which even given its sporting nature seems a bit harsh still. Will doubtless be posting daft questions in the future.
Hi to XB12s owner from Snozzle in Cornwall who was at the Bideford Bike Show this Saturday.

Welcome,

lets see some pics sometime

welcome John
no such thing as daft questions , might get a few daft answers

Welcome Enjoy the bike - you'll get all the answers here and if you want the full treatment for your bike, get it up to Maz in Manchester. It'll be well worth the trip

Afternoon John.........you need to eat some pies like the previous owner! Hopefully the Higbee settings or the manual will give you some pointers.

Oh yes indeed!
I was stalking UKBEG for a while so hopefully knew what to look for. I bought it from Jez in Preston, so a lot nearer to Maz than where it currently lives. For specs and pics look at Jez’s listing under For Sale (XB9R Firebolt for sale. 16/05/19). (Not being lazy but lack familiarity/time/enthusiasm for keyboard twiddling to copy here - Ok, am being lazy.) Very pleased with bike, chief burden of ownership so far is keeping it clean. It’s a good un Jez, pleasure doing business with you and thanks for your help launching it up the ramp into the van.
