Hi all,

Ok where to start.

I have been riding for 8 years now and mainly well actually totally I have been riding sports bikes, from Kwaks to Yamaha's but always 600. I decided to hang up the sports bike jacket and try something different. So I have just opted for a Buell Lightening XB9SX. It will be my first 1000cc bike well almost a 1000cc. I choose this model because for me it looks the business. I have to be honest I dont know allot about them but I have heard they are tops for handling.

Anyhow I have been to see one today and put a deposit on it. I cant pick up until the end of the month due to funds, so I'm chompping at the bit to get on it. I do like to personalise my bike so I'm on the search for some aftermarket stuff. I will be asking questions on this soon, but I guess this would be the wrong forum to ask.

I hope to chat to you all soon and perhaps get some meets along the way.

Cheers.........

welcome enjoy the site.

you'll love the bike.

Hi biker9

Let us know how you get on, hope you like tghe Muell.

IL4 600's suck arse (on the roads) in my humble opinion. Great for track days I imagine.

hi and welcome

Welcome. A Free Spirits belt tensioner is essential and should be top of your list. It'll give your gearbox and wheel bearings an easier time.
