BUELL XB RIGHT SIDE AIR SCOOP INSTALL: My first mod on the Buell Lightning // GIRL MOTOVLOG

[@tomp538]

Nice & thanks for including links and part numbers in the description section.

[@donwren5422]

Love your xb12scg. I have a 2003 xb9sl.We have owned it for 2 years and I doubt that we will ever sell it. Recently had a collision with a deer and the insurance company totalled it. The insurance company only deducted 500$ of the value when I decided to keep it. They said that the parts were not available, but Jutin at St.Paul H D. had them on the way in a few days. Love the videos. Ride safe

[@3thedward]

Thank you I will buy such a Kit for my wifes Buell SCG

[@michaelwhouse46]

As a fellow bueller i can tell you that you're going to want to get a big bottle of blue and red loctite. These bikes like to shake parts loose. I have the older verison of your bike, xb9sl, and love the looks of the low bikes. mine doesnt look as big as yours though being that im 6'3". I subscribed and looking forward to future videos. Soon you'll be rotating the motor and doing base gaskets like it's nothing

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you, that is something we've been wanting to do is go back in and add loctite. Thanks for watching!

[@hellraiserrec19]

I came here to say the same thing lol. Definitely comes in handy

[@rhinely850]

You are actually mechanically inclined. You may not have tons of experience, but that will come. Nice video, I may do the same add to my Firebolt. Thanks!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! 😊I'll have to give an update once I can test it out, but I've heard good things about the air scoop so far.

[@Viper918]

Your knowledge and ability on your bike is refreshing, great job well done, those air intakes look awesome, look like a fighter jet now with dual air intakes

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! 😊Together they do look pretty cool. Very streetfighter, indeed.

[@kweeliso3601]

An XB and a Royal Enfield ! Nice couple !

[@JoyonaBike]

😊

[@KricketSpaceBun]

I really liked this video. It’s cool to see people who are necessarily experts, working on their bikes. It’s funny though cause our next video scheduled for tomorrow morning, is about working on one of our bikes. Lol.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks! My husband and I watched and laughed through your video. 😆Nice job on that one!

[@KricketSpaceBun]

Thanks. I was worried it wasn’t funny enough and that I was trying too hard. I’m funniest when I don’t try to be lol.

[@MRTPR]

Excellent, you don't see many of the Buell's here in South Australia. I do simple stuff on my bike as well and let the bike shop do the hard stuff. Stay safe and well.

[@JoyonaBike]

We don't see too many here either, but will catch them once in a while. Thanks for watching!

[@MotoKari]

Looks good! Don’t think an install is complete without something not fitting right away LOL.

[@JoyonaBike]

Haha, that's what my husband said right after! Kind of like house projects, too. Any time something goes too smoothly we're a little weirded out, lol.

[@misplacedcaper9662]

This is known as a comfort kit. It's designed to pass more air over the rear cylinder and direct it out the back, to aid in keeping your right leg cool.

[@goldeniron8989]

You may not be a mechanic but we thank you 🙏

[@rolandkeith5322]

Yup things not fitting to well is a pain........but turned out good though and that will work well......Enjoyed seeing your install vid

[@JoyonaBike]

😅Oh yea. Thanks for watching!

[@heylex6135]

Awesome Girl! hope you and your husband are staying safe and healthy!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! And same to you. 😊

[@MotoMike805]

Just found your channel. Look forward to watching more. Ride safe!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks for watching!

[@theChestnutMtnTinman]

Great job putting that on. Hands on is the best way to learn. Great video 😎😎

[@JoyonaBike]

I agree, hands-on is where it's at. Thanks for watching!

[@RadDadisRad]

I suggest doing DEI exhaust wrap. Really helps with decreasing heat on your right leg as well.

[@turboslag]

Good to see a novice female biker do some diy mod work, well done! I have a question for the Buell owners world, I'm considering buying a Buell but here in the UK it is difficult to find a good one as they weren't sold in large numbers here. So, I've found a really nice XB12SCG 25th anniversary, and it's not too far away. Before I go any further with it though, as it's the lower version, would it be ok for a taller rider, I'm just over 6ft? And one more question, are there any known serious issues with the motor and trans that I need to look for? Thanks.

[@ChopperFett]

Well done video in my opinion! Keep it up Joy!!!!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you, thank you! I'm trying to start small, but there's a little more advanced mod in the near future so we'll see! 😬

[@DeluxeChimp]

Excellent video Joy! ✌😎

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you! 😁

[@edgarfigueroa6805]

Great video. I'm currently looking for that scoop but I can't seem to find it.

[@IanLandesman]

WOW your xb is so much cleaner than mine. My xb spent a lot of time outside in the rain apparently... but a previous owner DID install this part for me... my fan only kicks on when I pull into the driveway on a hot day and shut off the bike. Hahahaha

[@JoyonaBike]

😂I'm looking forward to testing it out! I feel like once the fan would kick in, it would stay on more often than not during the rest of the ride. But only turning on once you pull into the driveway sounds like it does it's job!

[@IanLandesman]

Joy on a Bike yeah I have never had it turn on while riding. When I first got the bike I was worried the fan was not working and bought a buelltooth module JUST to do the fan test.

[@JoyonaBike]

Ian Landesman Glad to hear it sounds like it does it’s job! I’ll be sure to give an update once I can test it out in the heat.

[@Charlies_Riding_Adventures]

Nice video.that looks like a very practical mod. I found myself wondering what you were saying when the camera was high speed and your sounded like Alvin from the chipmunks. :) Keep you the good work.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks! First time I put that section at high speed I couldn't stop laughing so had to include it. It was basically me talking to myself trying to figure out how everything lined up. 😁

[@caskstrength7629]

Well done .👍🏼

[@FeedOnSpeed]

Good on you for doing this one yourself, here’s to many more! 🤩😀

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks! 😊

[@mattr2773]

Well done, Start small> soon you'll be taking apart engines with ease

[@BlackphoenixEntertainment]

Nice and simple mod, Good job.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you much. 👏🏻

[@chrisconley8105]

Nice job!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks!

[@tomr2982]

Good job - did you use any Loctite on those screws?

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank ya! And no, but thanks for the idea. Will probably go back and do that.

[@TheDutchGuy]

BUELL X1 here

[@RomainD]

Cool! Eheh, you manage to make a Buell look HUGE 😂

[@ElGuapoDeSantoPoco]

Exactly.... That's what I thought as well. Seems huge😂

[@Supermankev2001]

Nice video I have done a few of these I take a lot of ribbing because I do the simplest how to videos that being said those are some of my most views so someone watches them.

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks! I have a couple pretty simple videos planned, but the way I see it is that someone out there will learn from them, just like they are with yours. And if you're the only channel (or one of the only ones) showing those how-tos then you'll be at the top of the searches!

[@Supermankev2001]

Joy on a Bike I think you hit the nail on the head I did one about putting chrome covers on my passenger floor boards it has like 600 views when I search there is only 2 videos I say just do you and don’t worry about it the video that does great is never the one you think it will be .i have one video with 43000 views and it took me 5 min and no editing lol

[@RichardSmith-yv8pe]

Searching for an XB myself nice to know getting parts doesn’t seem like a hassle.

[@JoyonaBike]

We haven’t had any issues getting parts yet. Good luck with your XB search!

[@fvgc454ss]

St Paul harley has a PILE of oem parts

[@nenadmomcilovic9133]

Front isolators are very hard to come by. Buy one even if you don't need one.

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

I'm guessing this will not be your last Mod video. (smiles) I chuckled at the ending. Pssssst I sent you a secret message to your Discussions Tab.

[@JoyonaBike]

No, I don't think it will be either. 😉I'll go check it out!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

That looks pretty good 👍

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks!

[@jesusissonshine]

Enjoyed your install🔧🔩

[@JoyonaBike]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

[@kz6fittycent]

Hey Joy, checking back with you - how's this mod working out for you after a year?

[@JoyonaBike]

Hey! I seems to still be doing its job. The fan doesn't really kick in as much as it did before. It's getting hot again here so will be able to see how it's holding up.

[@kz6fittycent]

@@JoyonaBike awesome. I'm planning a trip to TN to ride the Tail of the Dragon during July - HOT. I'm just curious what the outcome will be for you. Also, planning to take ANOTHER trip to the Twisted Sisters down in Leakey. That should be fun.

[@brennanthescott]

Where did you get the part from?

[@JoyonaBike]

This is the website I ordered it from: sphdonline.com/. But it looks like that part is no longer available on their site at the moment.

[@raposaoda150]

Olá parabéns pelo vídeo top o seu canal já estou acompanhando

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you!

[@dfcvda]

its a Transformer of a bike! What is the bike in the background?

[@JoyonaBike]

Yes, I love it. The blue bike is a Royal Enfield Continental GT650, and theres a tiny bit you can see in the background of a Buell 1125CR.

[@eduardodobek5950]

Where can I get it, is there a site or link to buy it?

[@JoyonaBike]

Yes, there’s a link in the description but you can buy it here: sphdonline.com/products/m0851-7aa-m0852-7aa-genuine-buell-right-scoop-kit-fits-all-xb-models-l19c?_pos=3&_sid=df19acc15&_ss=r

[@eduardodobek5950]

Thanks

[@ihateemael]

still enjoying mine after 12 yrs

[@JoyonaBike]

I hope I’ll be able to enjoy mine for just as long. It’s a great bike.

[@jackkanow5562]

Part number? Thx

[@gentlemandriver1982]

😲😲😲🔝🔝🔝🔝😁✌

[@steve-zg3xp]

Pro tip, use lock tight on anything with a harley motor...

[@JoyonaBike]

Thank you, might go back in and do that.

[@steve-zg3xp]

@@JoyonaBike all good HD motors and any, bolt, nut or screw are not friends lol, was going to buy a XB today but it was already sold 😔

[@JoyonaBike]

@@steve-zg3xp Lol, for sure. But too bad about the bike being sold! What a bummer.

[@hootNhollar]

Uh, 🥴 why wasn't the scoop already on the bike? It totally balances the look. Good job, Joy Ride Safe, Ride Free

[@JoyonaBike]

Good question. 😉Thanks for watching!

[@dustinbarc]

for not being a "mechanic", you sure wrench like one!

[@JoyonaBike]

Thanks 😊

[@hanswurst9437]

Mhm, why are you likeable for me...maybe because you ride a buell 🤘🤗

[@JoyonaBike]

☺️ Buell people are special people. 😉
