Enter, 2004 Buell XB9R Firebolt At last, a new toy! The heart of a Balrog (Buell enhanced Harley V-twin) and the finesse of a ballerina. It doesn't get any better than this!
Now, for only about $700-, a ten percent increase in power... That means now I'm finally over 100hp. That's barely enough to wheeze along at 140mph with 5-spd tranny....
The final configuration, "The bagger". Someday I'll go on a long trip. No major failures after 30,000 miles, aside from events resulting from the grossly negligent services of Lee's Cycle of San Diego... The Cro-Mags that work there installed new wheel bearings with a hammer and a drift punch, the job calls for a bearing press. If the press is not used, BAD things happen. I'd love to see them use this same"Primitive Pete" technique on a race bike with ceramic bearings. Oy!
