Post subject:  Letting one go
After much deliberation I have decided to let my 2004 Firebolt XB12r go....... :shock: I really love riding this bike but I am finding it too uncomfortable on my arms, when covering higher mileages.
I will be looking to replace it with a tuber, later in the year. :D
I bought this bike last year, with around 17,000 miles and very shortly suffered the Oil pump failure. Thanks to Pash, I found a 2008 Ulysses engine with 6,800 on it. Lightning Services of Trowbridge did a fantastic job fitting it and renewed all of the frame/wheel bearings etc. and the drivebelt. I had the exhaust system ceramic coated by Zircotec. The bike is not pristine but it is in very good condition - except for the indicators - they are cheap crap but they work.
I will be putting it up on E-Bay in a weeks time and hope to raise around £3,600. That will cover the work done.
I owe a great deal to this site and to one or two folk in particular :clap: so I thought it fair to offer it here, first. If anyone is interested at about £3,400 please pm me. I will donate £100 of the sale to the site. Like I say, I am indebted to many here. :clap:
I will try to attach a photo or two but if your are interested I will send you more.

Hi,

I have sent a PM to you. I am having trouble uploading pictures through the site so I have sent my e-mail address, so that I may send direct.
Thank you

Your riding it wrong, hold the tank with your knees and it won't hurt your wrists.
Tuber is better though anyway 8-) but you need to develope a much higher pain threshold, lol
