Nice little custom made disk, well chuffed with the result.

And after all my chums giving me a hard time about the size of me "Rear" I added some nice little carbon lights and numberplate to tidy it up a bit!

AFTER




Aint stopped there either.


Dirty great belt guard




Nice clean Lines




Ok my brothers and sisters I know its still a buell but at least its a nice looking one eh!!

[Incorrigible]

Nice chicken strips mate

Sorry, what were we meant to be looking at







In all seriousness, very tasty. Do you not get MOT problems with a brake disk like that ?? sharp edges etc

[fergus]

please don't tell me someone has coloured the script on the tyre sidewall in?! A tad american?

[BU5T4]

Thats Goereous mate.

I was also wondering if that was MOT-able with a spinning rip saw on the back of your bike.

Nothing wrong with the buell I think its a stunning bike.

[Davel]

Like the chain saw/disk.

a real multitool buell!

[bikerkeith]

Is that a brake disc by Black & Decker?

[fergus]

no. De Walt!!

LOL@chicken strips!!

Steve: That looks like the new forest??

[DennisTheMenace]

I have taken the rear hugger off the kawasaki and it looks loads better , as for the shock getting ruined after 25k i dont think it could look any worse

[Mad Dave]

If the disk were on the other way, or if the wheel were spinning in the other direction, id guess you might have problems with sharp edges - as it is, if your leg were to clout the disk, it wouldnt take a chunk out of it.

[steviejay01]

lol@ chicken strips.....yea not rode it much to be honest, not sure about these tires, want to get some Diablo's these are hard as hell, worried its gonna slide out from under me.

Oh and the white writing......yea it does look american.
Thats the whole point, the bike IS american....lol

[fergus]

Stevie,

It won't slide unless you've on the gas hard... Look at the lean angle of most couriers who are on the hardest most durable tyres they can get their (dirty) paws on!!!

[steviejay01]

Very true....still getting used to her at the moment, dont want to overcook it.....they aint that bad anyway you evil little sod!!

As far at MOT's and that disk, I know the guys pretty well down the local bike shop......nuff said.

[steviejay01]

Ok was out today and JUST to make YOU GUYS happy I got rid of the chicken strips....hahaha



You were right btw.....the tires aint as bad as I thought!

[saleen05]

Yeah, yeah, let's see the other side

[hertsbiker]

Very nice machine! don't worry about anyone taking the piss about chicken strips - that doesn't *Actually* indicate cornering speed... 'cos as you all know, keeping the bike as upright as possible lets you get the power on harder. Just hang off a bit. Anyway, I never had problems removing the strips, but the latest bike seems to turn pretty fast & still leave unused rubber. Guess that's 160's for you. Less lean than a 180 for the same speed..

[steviejay01]

Dern>

I admit there is a little bit on the left...haha...my God your harsh.....lol


Saleen, hurry up man and get yourself one of these things, was down the pub with a mate who has an S1 Lightning, was pretty cool to have all the locals poking about at them........

Then get your ass down to southampton for a rideout!

Herts,

I'm a new biker with an early CBR600 (jellymould shape!). I've been riding since last Sept (about 6000 miles so far), and have about chicken strips of 1cm on my 130 back tyre - so the thinner the tyre the harder to use all of the tyre? Does this mean I'm progressing ok then?
