    Does my Buell fit in here? G'day from joesbuell

    G'day all here's some pictures of my 1998 Buell S3T thats been transformed into a S1 twin tail mutant!

    It has XB a Buell front end
    XB swingarm and wheels
    Mods are quite extensive but have been carried out in a way to try and keep it all Buell. I'm waitng on an order of parts to come from the US , post some more pictures as I progress.

    I hope I've been successful!

    Colour will be Pearl white with orange Buell decals on the tank and Sunset Orange wheels and frame.

    If your unfamiliar with the early model Buells they had an extention/pull rear shock wich sucked! I've adapted an XB Buell swingarm and shock onto my Buell. I got rid of the plastic oil tank so that the shock had some where to go. Oil is now in the swingarm. Battery has been rotated so that it nearly lays flat and a new battery box made out of chrome moly sheet. Modified XB headers then wrapped them. Custom made exhaust pipes 2/1/2 2" straight through.
    There's a link in my profile to more detailed changes if anyones interested.

    Enjoy

    Jodie

    This fly screen wont be used I have an XBSTT one on order.
























    This is what it used to look like.

    Welcome aboard mate. Looks like you've put a lot of work into this baby, you must be a big Buell fan? The tail end conversion was a must mate as that, without doubt, is the best one they brought out. Enjoy the site mate.

    Well I took my Buell for a shake down run, I did around 550klms, from Kingaroy to Caloundra returning via Nambour, Mapleton Maleny etc etc. And everything was sweet!
    I met up with a fellow Bueller, who happens to be a top bloke and an illustrator! He took a couple of pictures of my Buell and before I had gottten home had photo shopped them in the colours I wanted.

    I think he has done an awesome job!

    so here they are

    From this



    to these



    With single tail!






    So what do think?
    Buell should have built this bike!

    Cheers

    Jodie

    He must be a bloody good mate as that kind of effort in photosgop takes a good few hours. The result is outstanding mate! The final photo makes for one of the nicest looking "Bomber" Buells I have ever seen.
