Well I will be saying goodbye to the hog any day now cos I have confirmation that my parts have finally shipped. Blimmin clutch hub was on back order and Harley/Buell only just released them last week...around the same time that the parts supplier managed to source one from another dealer... typical!

oh well I ain't complaining. In fact I am over the moon cos I can't wait to get back on my baby and blow some cobwebs...

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So hi there young Floss.

Whats the up date on ya bike.I little birdy

told me it travelled back south on a bike transporter after you picked it up.What did you do

**buellbabe** · 4th August 2008, 06:41

HA! I rode it back to Auckland in the storm...that was an interesting ride... and as soon as I came off the motorway and wasn't at full noise I heard the damn whistling sound that it was making when I took it into the shop!
I thought "no f**ken way! you are being paranoid!" So took it to work on Monday and there was no doubt, the noise is still there, its subtle but I know my bike so well that to me it stands out like dogs balls!

Rang R&S and as luck would have it their van was already on its way up to Auckland to do a pickup from AMPS so they picked my bike up as well.

Spoke to them the next day and they can't hear the sound! So at the mo I am waiting for it to be delivered back to me LOL.

Gotta say it actually felt a bit weird getting back on such a tall bike after the luxury of being able to have both feet flat on the ground on the Harley! But I ain't complaining! I just want it back!

**Rob Taylor** · 5th August 2008, 22:25

Well it sounds like you need to ride it untill it breaks

Maybe its just the sound of a sweet ride

Come up and see us sometime

**buellbabe** · 7th August 2008, 07:09

UPDATE! Got the bike back and the noise was f**ken obvious to me. I rang the shop and told them so. They are mystified.

By the time I got home yesterday I was seriously concerned. I can hear it while riding but can't determine where its coming from and its worse at lower revs. Anyway I was determined to figure it out so I put it in first and ran along beside it trying to ascertain WHERE the sound is coming from... it has gone from a subtle whistle to full on rattle...
Well I sussed straight away that it was nothing to do with the clutch cos it was coming from the right side of the bike.
Less than a minute later after starting at the rear and working forward I had found the culprit. My air-cleaner cover is cracked around the bolt that holds it in place. It is gonna need a plate welded inside the cover to give some extra reinforcement. In the meantime electrical tape is doing a fine job holding it in place and VOILA! no rattle!

In fact the bike is running like a dream

Brilliant!

Stray noises are often really hard to trace even if you know roughly where they're coming from.

Peace of mind returns!!!

**buellbabe** · 7th August 2008, 08:27

HELL YEAH! Praise be to electrical tape.

I reckon it just may be the best invention EVER!

I have witnessed many roadside repairs using this miracle tape... always carry a roll under the seat, ooh and don't forget the cable ties LOL.

Nope. Duct tape is better. So is 100mph tape (for what it's good for). But my favourite is self-amalgamating rubber tape, cos it's just so damn cool.

And for the nerds:

Q: Why is duct tape like The Force

A: It has a light side, and a dark side, and it holds the universe together!

**mud boy** · 7th August 2008, 18:07
