Here's mine. It's an XB12. It has the Hal's swingarm, Bison exhaust, Hal's ram air, Penske, Ohlins 25mm, Woodcraft clipons, unknown triples, EBR 6mm rotor and lots more. The bike is WAY better than me.

Yes, they are. I like Woodcraft rearsets a lot. They're pretty basic and just work.


Very Badass!!!

Thanks, but I have nothing to do with it's bad assness. It was originally built by Danny Balanski. He deserves the credit.

I have to say, there's a bunch of really nice Buells on the board already!!! I love rearview's tuber.

My Italian is terrible. I can't speak it, but I can usually get the theme of the story. My grandmother used to speak Italian in front of my mom because she hated her for not being Italian. That's where most of my Italian language skills come from. My quick look at the page, looks like a great write up on an incredible bike!

I'll babble fish it when I'm feeling better. Thanks!

The poor beast has served me well in a decade of racing. Last weekend managed a 3rd in Middleweight twins after being out of the saddle for the past four months. LOADS of mods to the bike. Showa BPF front, Penske 3-way rear. Lots of engine mods - big bore/short stroke, Hoban Brothers lightened 2008 flywheels put into 2003 cases. Spins quick. .643 cams, 1.9 valve sets... custom combustion chambers and matched CP pistons. Running about 11.5 compression, 110 leaded fuel. Bulletproof motor. One more year then I'll (probably) stop racing.

Is your front tire on backwards in that pic or is the tread supposed to be going the other way.

Optical illusion due to photo angle. Look at the bottom of the tire, and you will see the tread going in the right direction.

Hello Guys, to make this sad and silent time untill EBR opens again going a bit faster, let me show you some pics of the bikes from my wife and me.
We really love what Erik has done and so we cant keep it at one bike.

My first one was a original black XB Ss in 2007 and after a few months i crashed on oil from a Suzuki before me. (Japanese crap!)
From the money of the insurance i build my first dream in green:
http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=724&thumb=1&d=1448186262

At this time, i bought a red XB R too, in my mind as a daily driver, but after i finished the green one, i selled her.
And i rue it untill today.

But i build the red R in a silver one.
I used it first on the road, than for trainings and racing.
http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=725&thumb=1&d=1448186268

So i met in october 2010 Erik for the first time in Oschersleben, germany on the race track.
We race for 4 days and it was unbeliveable to race with 30 XBs and 1125, the track only for Buells.
http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=726&thumb=1&d=1448186271

http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=727&thumb=1&d=1448186275

It was my first time on a podium with congrats from the master himself. :bannana:
http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=728&thumb=1&d=1448186276

We all was deeply impressed, how friendly, likeable and moderate Erik is.
In Jeans, boots, a sweater and always a look on the bikes. No boss with graces, only a real motorcycles enthusiast.

In december 2009 i bought one of the last XB for my wife as a christmas present. (Yes, i think i like her..... )
It was a SCG and i give her a R-front and work on some details.
http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=730&thumb=1&d=1448186953

http://ebrforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=729&thumb=1&d=1448186947

My wife ride her in Oschersleben too and after the races we made a custom show.
Erik was one of the judges and he made her winning the first place.
4 weeks i must speak to my wife with " my beloved queen....."

Here is a pic of us from 2010:

If you want a nice storage system for your wheels, I really love my PitBull tire tree. One tree holds two sets of wheels, and the whole stand can be rolled on its own wheels. It takes up very little floor space, keeps your tires from flat spotting, and it looks great. When I went from the Buell to the EBR I sold all my extra Buell wheels, but I plan on doing the same thing with multiple color sets for the EBR in the future.

My first Buell was a 2003 XB9R(White with Blue) and I had a 90" shovel Wide Glide.

Disappointed with the handling of the '08 1125R, Very happy with the 2012 RS Carbon.

Same year I got the 1190(2015) I got a 1991 1200RS Westwind.
