I have Goof Off which I was planning on using to clean that up... The pucks also come with a two stage kit of some shit to prep the area...
ahh ok... well try the goof off on that double sided tape...

I'd imagine it'd be some tough shit... considering it'd gotta hold up to the force of sliding...

Good work man! The only thing... how do you remember to stop and take pictures? I mean, I just came in from a while in the garage and the camera was RIGHT there. I just was to into doing what I was doing LOL

Good luck with the pucks - I loathe things that are stuck on rather than bolted.

Thanks... Pictures generally happen when I stop to grab another beer, piss, or take a step back to think of what I want to do next...

So those pucks were optional???

Every XB I saw at the Buell dealership had 'em on. But the 1125 didn't have any. wonder if the regular XB ones will work on the 1125?

Yeah, the pucks aren't standard... The only one that comes with them from the factory is the Ulysses IIRC...

The 1125 technically shouldn't need them.. Since it's got Darth Vader in a headlock, that protects it in the event of a drop... Either way, the regular XB pucks probably won't work on the 1125... Different frames... Mine are different than the regular XB's.

True... I guess that is the second reason behind them big ol scoops... cheap crash protection.

I just did a complete build on my chopper... took about 1500 pics during the process. Multiple reasons.

1. For future refrence when putting it back together.
2. To share with others the build
3. To help others with future problems. Many times a pic is worth 1000 words and helps ALOT online.

Well, I take pictures through something that I haven't done before. But, right now when just working on it... I just remember to take pictures at the beginning then forget.

Pictures? I'm usually too busy working on a project to bother. Besides, my bike mods so far have been really easy.
