I'm new to this forum, and just wanted to say hello to everyone.

I picked up my first Buell last year, and I'm hooked. Got a -05 XB9SX with just 500 km on it, so it was more or less brand new. I've done some mods over the winter, and can't wait for the snow to clear so I can show it to the public. What I've done is:

Breather re-route
DIY tail tidy
Painted black subframe
New mirrors
Renthal superbike bars
LED turn signals
H7 to H4 bulb convertion in both headlights
Air box deleted
New handles
Carbon fiber windscreen

I'm looking to upgrade the muffler and get RH scoop as well, but I'm not sure if I'll wait till next winter or du it during summer.

Jon

Thanks

Well, as you may know, we have a new ice age up here :D
Previous owner bolted it to the floor in his garage as hi couldn't afford to pay insurance or something like that, the dealer told me. I put about 1100 km on it before i put it away for the winter, and cant wait to ride it again.

Hi Jon and Welcome
I'm in Norway quite a bit (Stavanger, Haugesund, Bergen) and my claim to fame there is having a meal with Jens Stoltenberg and others at the Akershus Castle in 2000. He know f**k all about Buells tho :-)
