  1. Not a fan of the beads.
  2. If I were to ever get another Buell it would certainly be an XB. The maintenance is simple DIY. I think I still have a service manual and a seat that would fit yours.
  3. Completely normal on an 03 Buell XB. Adjust the clutch per the manual. Check the adjustment 'shoe,' it's a wear part and could be ready for replacement. You can use HD trans fluid or motor oil in the trans. I always used 20w50 in both.
  4. Does it have a choke? Does it run OK with the choke on or partially on?
  5. CBRs don't come with tool kits anymore. But you can buy it for about $100.
  6. Everyone knows that air cooling causes global warming
  7. I'd like to see 1/4 mile times for the liquid cooled HD 750 vs. HD big twins. I'll bet the begginner bike nearly as "fast," probably "faster" with some basic mods.
  8. Can you describe odd? After takeup mine breaks pretty cleanly in SA. DA is light, but a little gritty feeling. Not the best trigger I've felt, but good enough to shoot accruately.
  9. What do you mean by over stiffen?
  10. There are tons of cool old bikes, I just need to remind myself not to buy them. I am only afraid of the old tech when I'm riding hundreds of miles from home in Buttplug, WV. Usually the louder the banjos, the better the riding.
  11. Every time to I see a cool carbed bike for sale...it takes a while to remind myself how much I like FI
  12. ^^ Never understood blocking out plates in adds. Thousands of people see it everytime you ride.
  13. Depending on what kind of riding you like, SE Ohio seems to have the best (twistiest) roads in Ohio.
  14. It's easy to love motorcycles
  15. If the wiring doesn't look the same, maybe they sent the wrong one. Call their support line.
  16. Aren't they all similarly plump?
  17. Here is my most recent (and likely last) HD experience: http://www.coreriders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2671
  18. What stator and R/R did you install? Sounds like it wasn't OEM.
  19. Most of the used GW's I've seen have a shit ton of miles on them. So people must like them enough to actually be riding them. If I had to choose between a Hog and a Wing...I'd get an FJR.
