Sounds like you need a Lightning rather than a blot, but even they're not really two up machines, so Gunter is probably right, you need a Useless (there should be a y in there somewhere
)

Hi all, I am potentially a new Buell owner, I'm going to look at a Firebolt next week. I currently have a Ducati 748 which I plan to keep, I'm considering the Buell due to it being something interesting like the Ducati, but mainly I'm after something more comfortable and that can take 2 people comfortably, is it?! My main thought is that I'd like to put 'wide bars/renthal style' on it like a Triumph Speed Triple has. Is this something that anyone else has done? Cheers and I'll keep you updated on my purchase! Ed. |

The LSL superbike kit is the easiest way to go. Others took the upper tripple clamps from a lightning, but then the ingition switch needs to be relocated. For two up, a Ulysses seems a much better choice to me. |

The firebolt has the same rear as the 1125 and my passengers have all said the 1125 is comfy enough

Well sounds like none of you have ridden a 748/916 Ducati, it is the most uncomfortable bike with just me on it let alone my wife who also loves me!! I'll have a ride and see! Thanks for the input! Ed. |
