Hi guys,
New to this forum and new to buell.
Having owned a Superduke as my last twin I would like to exploit the oportunity to tune the xb.
I have started developing the lower section of the exhaust so I can use a jardine style can.

I would like to buy a ECM spy cable, is there anyone who sells them in the uk?

Any help would be greatly apreciated..
Thanks
Rob

Buells have their own character and cannot really be compared to anything else. Don't expect it to be like your Superduke, as you will be disappointed.. Enjoy it for what it is....a very quirky, fun-packed, grin-factor ride!!

Enjoy!! :dance:

The two best tuning mods you can do are an AST shock and then an Albert exhaust system :yup:

No you shouldn't sell it, that was a comment on the negativity you got from your first post. Is your bike a 2008 model or a 2007 with an 08 registration? I ask this because ecmspy is for 2007 and back bikes, 2008 onwards bikes need the dealer flashes to alter them.
2007 bike speak to Pash
2008 bike speak to Jon64 at Black Bear
