CRG Mirrors rock... I was surprised at the quality.

Got some fork and swingarm sliders too...

I just need to chop that tail and it`ll be a done deal

Are those tank-covers acrylic? Definitely a unique look for those Buells... Lookin good so far!

Anything in the works to really make it "pop"?

Thats cool David!!
How is it riding? I bet the suspension is really nice.

Wolfman · 08-28-2008, 10:18 PM

That's gonna be one minimilist rear end, when you do the chop and put the FE on the Bike.

Lovely Bike by the way...very fond of the Beulls, one just may find it's way into my garage one day, with any luck!

Dude, I've seen his bike in person. It pops all by itself. Those blue rims are sick as hell and the bike sounds amazing.

I think that that is not even a tank, I am pretty sure that it is just the air filter under there and the tank is a lot lower (or even inside the frame, i can't recall) but i have seen a lot of people run with just K&N's hanging out the top, it is more of a hooligan look.

This might sound like a stupid question, but if the frame is actually the tank,does it alter the centre of gravity as it uses fuel ?

time to clean the tank wave...I can see smudges on the paint. Bike looks amazing.

Nope, and that's why Buell does it, it keeps the center of gravity lower and evenly dispersed from side to side, I am not sure if this is one of the bikes that does that though (Wavex?).

Here is an article on some of the different technologies that Buell uses on it's bikes:

Looking good Wavex! This forum has conditioned me to dis-like the Blue in favor of the Red

but your bike really is the hotness!

Slight sidenote. Has anyone seen the new Buell 1125CR (Cafe Racer) yet? I just saw it mentioned in my Rider magazine. I like it a lot!
