True, but with a lil work you can get all the changes (except the swingarm spools ) onto the 08... and still have a 25th anny, and the blue frame/swingarm.

I'm thinking about swapping out headers (thus getting updated O2 placement as well as better heat control) and then getting the new spark and map. Should be up to par.

If the buells werent so small, it would be the next bike I put in the garage. And not because im a HD owner. I was a complete disbeliever in buell before t-mall got one. I didnt even ride it very far, at 6'4" its far too uncomfortable for me. But it is the most nimble bike ive ever ridden. It didnt give me the confidence my rc51 did, didnt feel as planted, but everytime i touched the bars the bike did everything I wanted. It wasnt lightning fast, but it had great acceleration.

Troof dat!

Trackrider54 is a 6'4" yeti galoot. The Uly is a sportbike for tall people in Chad's own words.

I'm 6' and can't flat foot the bike. The seat to peg dimensions are the best for long legged people of ANY bike on the market.


PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do yourself a favor, Apoc, and find a Uly to test ride.

Do it, and you'll be another Buelligan in a heartbeat!

It's no XB...but HOLY FUCKING MOTHER OF FUCKING SHIT! Damn that sounds absolutely WICKED. Kevin did a hell of a job, as usual...

But I must say...I'm not a fan of the looks. But so far, it's the best I've heard...and if I know KDfab's products, the performance will be there too.

I'd like it more with a belly pan to cover it up.

Then again, I think the stock pipe looks like azz fabbed up from old suits of armor and discarded stove pipes.

It's the only part that I absolutely HATE. I can even stand the giant jug scoops.

The dog bone sucks.


Now, the drummer? It's like white hot pissed off rage ripping throught a snare drum.

Yay!

Troof!

The Drummer (in black please) with a chin fairing or even a belly pan would look sick

Kevin says materials are ordered... just waiting on final dyno results and production will BEGIN!
