[@TheBevo67]

thanks for the rundown on your mods - I also have a 2005 XB9SX and have owned it since new. I absolutely love it and glad to see others enjoying their Buells.

Absolutely amazing... Mine looks like a clapper compared to yours. Glad you got it up and running. Enjoy the ride!

[@kz6fittycent]

Thanks so much! If you go back to my earlier videos in the playlist, you'll see where it all started. Talk about a clapper lol! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mofch5uGZs1spck&pp=gAQBiAQB

Looking good. I kind of want to tear my 06 XB9SX down and paint some things and thoroughly clean it over the winter.

[@kz6fittycent]

Thanks! Good luck on your refresh!!

Question: Have you ever thought about installing a steering damper? Love Buells but the short wheel base & tight rake that make them handle so well also makes me feel like they can bite at times. Thanks for any input you can offer.

[@kz6fittycent]

@@r.williamcomm7693 I have not. But my buddy did I think he ended up removing it. I’m of the opinion that if the suspension is tuned properly, it won’t need a damper. My opinion is based on Dave Moss’s opinion.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

@kz6fittycent Thank you very much for the advice & quick reply. I went ahead & bought the Buell xb12xt! I'm an "experienced" rider over decades but honesty in recognizing my limitations & wanting to challenge myself is why I bought it. The longer wheel bases & friendly rake angles of my cruisers, touring bikes & even my Concours14 made riding easier instead of challenging me. It became more about the number of miles than enjoying each turn in a twisty road. The Buell reminds me of a dirt bike at times too. Thanks again. I'm going to look up Dave Moss & start learning more about setting up the suspension properly. 👍

GUYS… getting my hands on a 2008 Ulysses.. I want to take it off-road a bit nothing drastic but my concern is will I regret it because of parts to keep it running…? 20,000 miles on the clock, can I rack it up to 80,000 miles of enjoyment without regrets?

[@kz6fittycent]

@@bennoury8509 I think you’ll love that bike!

@@bennoury8509 that’s awesome!! Good luck with your adventure and I reckon it’ll be just fine with since tlc.

[@bennoury8509]

But does anyone know who bought all the rest of the parts when they went out to business? I think there’s somebody out there that has them all…
