I'm thinking that with my large tax check I'm definately going to install SPS cams and maybe a 1036cc kit from BCM . Headset bearings,grease the swingarm,change fork oil,and replace the second set of belts(which at 10K don't look bad at all).And usuall maintainance,blah,blah,blah

'though the proportion of the mound of snow in the shot to the duc is not far from the actual amount of snow we all got!

Hey - it was actually warm enough there to go for a short spin (42*). Only 5-10 min though. Warmed it up so I could do an oil change and winterize...can you say procrastination. Sound was sweet though after not hearing it for a few months!!! Next weekend we repack the cans while watching the Pats

Not to be obnoxious like some other fans but after suffering through 35 years of horrible seasons I'll take every win the sox and the pats can scrape up! Certainly won't last forever, I'm sure.

Whoops! While repairing my '99 X1 Buell from my wifes' crash I discovered a bent frame.I paniced.replace the bike NOW.1 zero miles '05 Buell XB12R

.Officially for my wife

as she wrecked the X1.I now discover frame options on the X1 .. 1.) send bad frame to factory.new frame with existing VIN sent back. or...2.)This company called "computrack" laser guided alignment for frames is minutes away.Anyhow,it looks like basic maintainance for my '996 barring any bad rockers.

Well,there are no mods. this winter due to my new Buell XB12r. I'm posting because spring begins today,I have all parts to reassemble my duc.I got help with the forks R+R from "GMD Computrack". I supplied the bushings and seals.I've got about 10 hours labor to completion and winter maintainance will be complete.And my bike is safely maintained.
