Ah, better idea. I'd been told the original cables fit either but it sure didn't look likely.

To be honest, (purely for the excercise) I don't know.

It's a sometimes Buell thing, severe shudder at 'prox front wheel rev frequency on braking, worse as they heat up. It's sometimes curable but the usual fix is a new rotor. Thought I'd been clever by grinding it perfectly flat but, while it was noticably better at slow speeds it was still unacceptable at 80 - 90.

Must get them to fit a new rear tyre while they've got it. If you're headed deep south do NOT fit a new Conti road attack.

YES!!!!!! That garage has had a Buell in it before, and it's bloody good to see you have come over to the right side at last. The one thing you'll have to work on now is your pronounciation of the words "Muahahahaha" and "Bwahahahaha". Slight variations on a theme, but well useful mid-corner on a Buell.

His scowl may be endearing, but Man! He's an ugly brute.

Guess you can't see that from the seat though...

Hmm. . .was going to buy something worth ~ twice as much. . . Ahhh you must have been going to buy an Aprilia Hohoho.

Good to see you have it now Jim, Hope the forecast is overstated & you get out on it in nice weather. I would offer to go for a ride with you but us British bike owners can't be seen fraternising with you Garish Yank types.

Came late to the war etc etc. Bounders.

Nah. I've done it with all of mine and except for the routine checks and adjustments I don't want to work on my bikes anymore. I just want to ride them.

Glad the deal went through James

Wow, cool, awesome.

Lol. Excited. Slightly. Is. The. Dog.

Only bike I've ever owned where the suggested suspension settings for my weight are in the exact middle of the range.
