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

[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.

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.

[cavey]

Yea best looking but fuk does it hurt your arse, You got a pick of you top shock mount joe?

[Razorback]

Hell yeah Buels are great... My mates 00 model was what first turned me on to the naked look

[joesbuell]

Thanks fellas, Cavey I haven't ridden it as yet with this seat so can't tell how uncomfortable it is! was very comfortable with the S3 seat, but there like chalk and cheese now! I do have a picture of the top mount below.

Nice mate. That's the kind of belly pan Hueyonabalde needs for his Blade I reckon.

[Knuckles NZ]

Looks sweet mate I used to own an S3T it was a good bike aside from a few electrical problems, but it sure didnt look like yours.

[joesbuell]

Thanks Fellas!
Here's where the bikes at the moment...

[Knuckles NZ]

Good job mate you may fool a few uneducated XB owners if they go past the tube frame?

[joesbuell]

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

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

Cheers

Jodie

[Gix11]

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.

[joesbuell]

Thanks for that :) Yes he is good! its what he does for a living, his profile is Madart and you can see his stuff on Bikeme. He's also a Buell owner :)

[Jockney Rebel]

nice yank u got there mate ...

[zx12argh]

Mighty impressive mate - you've got some great skills there - I love your dash. Can't wait to see your finished product.

[joesbuell]

Here's the final colour scheme less the decals on the swingarm and rear tail section.

Modified the pic a little!

I was having trouble following your build M8 but with the addition of colour that looks the Micky Quack (Bloody Sweet)Just for mine , I like the concept of the Red swinger , so when do you think you will be starting the completing of her?Keep us posted

[Iceman]

Red swingarm for sure!

[joesbuell]

Thanks Guys :)

I don't mind the red but because the left side of the swingarm is a lot of real estate it would be too much!

I'm hoping to have all the parts ready for the powder coaters this weekend.

Jodie

[Bikecraft]

Nice work, we think you've done a great job, we're currently modifying a 98 Cyclone, doing a 240 rear tyre conversion, front end mods and paint work. Great bike to modify, your colour scheme works well too.

[joesbuell]

Thanks BC:D

You'll have to post some pic's of the project!

I have a spare XB Buell wheel I want to send to Europe to a mob that converts them to 6.25"'s wide! Can then fit a 200 rear tyre with no mods! to belts, pulleys etc...

http://www.r-r-customizing.de/shop_b_eng/index.html

Some cool Buell Shit here!

[joesbuell]

I pulled the forks apart and made an adapter up so I could mount it in the lathe, used my power file to smooth out, then I gave it a little polish. They ill be powder coated black.
I removed a little extra material from the mounting area as the powder coat goes on at around 70 microns thick :)

Here's some pics of the leg in the lathe!
Sorry about pic quality as the batteries are stuffed in my Camera.

[themadpostie]

Awesome..... nuf said.....

[joesbuell]

I was trying to clean the shed today! and got a little side tracked :)

I made a mount for the license plate, I think it looks pretty cool.

I'd like to fit a cheese grater out of an XB lightning to it(who has one laying around?). It needs some tidying up then paint.

Here's some pictures!

Enjoy

Really looking forward to seeing this with the paint on Joe , I can appreciate how much work went into your number plate bracket but for mine M8, I would have had the Number plate tucked away in line with your indicators to keep it nice and short but thats just me!;)

[Gix11]

Very tidy work mate and probably keep the cops off your back as well. I like the cops though and would probably have gone short as well....

[dane_ra]

Mate, the other thing is that if u ever ride in the rain, that might just be enough to stop the rear tyre throwing water/road crap all over you. Mines a bitch for that!

[joesbuell]

I fitted my Digi-Beast dash I bought from Ben at Extreme Creations.

[JackTar]

Good work mate well done, wish I could use that photoshop still can't work out how my bike should look when I am finished, I have a theme in mind but not too sure how far to take it or how ghey it could look if I fuck it.

[Lucas]

Very bloody nice.

[BANDITROD]

thats bloody beautiful joe but how come you never left the forks polished

[joesbuell]

:DThanks Chaps.

Rod the main reason i spun the forks in the lathe was to remove the little ridges so that when i got them powder coated it was a nice flat finish. As I ride the bike every day and in all weather i don't want much if any polished metal, to much hard work to maintain. Eventually when i rebuild the engine all the cases will be powder coated black and the chrome push rod tubes done in a gunmetal colour, the force winder inlet manifold will be done too.

cheers
Joe

[old gsxrr]

hey joe,[just had to say that]did you know of a bloke in murgon called yorg,he bought a buell as well, take no notice of my ribbing harley's on [new slabby member] i like knuckles and pans myself but prefer old triumphs

[joesbuell]

No I don't know him, He probably bought it from Kingaroy M/C's though. I may see it around. What model and colour did he buy?

[joesbuell]

By the way no offense taken, It may have a Harley donk in it but thats all! Frame is Italian, wheels Chinese, forks and rear shock Jap(Showa) brakes are Nissin and the swingarm is made by Brembo. You don't go calling an Aprilia RSV or BMW F800 or Buell 1125R a Rotax just because there engines are from them now do ya;):D

[Fight_fan]

Hey Joe! Nah I rekon it belongs mate! Noice work!

[old gsxrr]

joe ,went and had a look at yorg's buel it's a xb12ss-07 model sounds impressive as he
talked about passing bikes going up mt. mee that had passed him on the way to mt.mee

ah now i see and i can tell ya from experience polished shit is over rated anyway i am in the middle of doing something about mine

[Iceman]

Top job Joe, it looks great.

[BillyWhizz888]

Awesome Joe...
will send you some pics of mine...
the rest of you can wait for a while

what absolute insanity, that is a wickid build. very neat work. i have long hoped to fit that XBS sub frame to my blade eventually, not at all tryin to copy what you've done, it's an awsome short frame even with double seat it is well worthy as a fighter subframe. i'd love to build a removable frame for my build. your build has taken the wickid parts of the new buell but left the new style fat frame that most buell die hards never wanted. i have to say i like the dark color instead of red on the swing arm though.
are the XBS frames hard to come by? i'd like a buell one as they have the nice fat alley look which would match the look of the old fireblade

[Surt]

absolutely noiciest buell mate! looks 1000 times better, than recent boikes!! lookin' forward to seein' new pics and ur story!!! :)

[Docktor]

Thats a damn fine lookin tuber indeed. dunno how i missed it when it came on here ?. did u buy a trashed xb for all the bits ?

[rock hard]

joe thats some impressive work mate if you get to the AFR billywizz will probably want to hump your leg..

[dingo]

most impressive work , i like it

[joesbuell]

Well I thought this thread was dead!:D

Thanks for the comments chaps, Sorry I won't be at AFR as I have plans to go to the Buell muster later in the month.

For those interested my Buell will be in next months Rapid Bikes magazine with Rennie doing the write up. And those who know of my bike through the Buell forums will see I left so many build details out as I forgot to tell Rapid! whoops....

Dockter I never bought a trashed XB for the parts, most were from ebay and new genuine parts plus all the stuff I whipped up.

Here's some links

sorry about the poor atempt at the burn out! tyre sliped on extension lead! thats my excuse!!!

[Docktor]

when/where is buell muster ?

[knucklehead]

Mate your Buell is awsome, nice work champ.Always liked the Buells, nearly got one instead of my yammi. Hats off to you for all the hard work.

In my opinion Eric Buell invented the street fighter, but hey opinions are like arseholes!:D

nice work, gotta say it looks the shit! but i would definantly tuck that number plate in.

[Gix11]

The Buell Muster isn't until two weeks after the AFR mate, you'd have time to lose the hangover and get a new tyre by then! Doug from Buellers is even going to be doing a stand there: http://buellersdownunder.com/showthread.php?t=3309 and your bike would go great in the Show n Shine.

i raise the dead mate if they don't stink yet [}:)]

so jodie, did u change the bike geometry, the rake, the wheelbase etc.

p.s. nice u r back!

[joesbuell]

The wheel base is 2 inches longer, the rear ride height has been raised to increase turn in and the front XB triples are 5mm closer to the frame than the stock triples. I'm also running a 120/65 17 Pilot Power front tyre instead of the 120/70 17 this also helps sharpen the steering. It handles and has better ground clearance than stock :D I've done 17500k's since Feb last year when I got it all back together and loving it. The bike has done just over 70000k's in total. Not bad for a tractor[:p]

[joesbuell]

PS I've never gone away, just lookin and learning. Single sided swingarm comming next ;)all fabed out of chro/molly tubing.

not bad indeed, u must have had some hot time ridin' her, meanin' the rear cyl :D. and u r a maniac mate if stocky rake of 23 ain't sharp enough for ya. what tubing size r u using for the frame and the sssa?
:)

[joesbuell]

The rear subframe I made out of 3/4" chro/molly from here http://www.airportmetals.com/stocklist.htm and will probably use 1" tube for the main tubes on the sssa and 3/4" for the supports, it will also house the oil tank. I will use either use a triumph rear hub or a vfr so I can use a car wheel. It will look similar to the Ducati monster one only in reverse because of the right side drive. Plus I'll probably go chain drive.

[joesbuell]

The rear cyclinder is no bother for me as I'm 6'5" tall and the leg misses it :) Stock steering angle for this model is 25 degrees.

which wire do u use for weldin' holly-molly tubes?

[Surt]

and another question. i've bought an xb front wheel and a brake rotor separetely, now could u tell me, if the rotor fixes straight bolt-on to the wheel, 'cos there r square chases? and what's the bolts thread? i tried m8x1.25, but it didn't screw in by hand... just wasn't about to screw the thread... :D

thanks jodie for the detailed info, yep i know them at st.paul, i'll enquire them shortly.
so do u have an equipment to build frames and swingarms? i mean a frame rack [i know u've got tig'n'mig welders and, apparently, a tube-bender]. have u started with ur sssa? also would u mind an irrelevant question, just out of curiousity, what do u mine?
regards,
surt.

[joesbuell]

No worries Surt;) I haven't started the sssa yet but when I do I'll build a jig for it.
I work in an open cut Coal mine, we supply coal to the power station next door to the mine.
I operate Komatsu 630E and Cat 789 rear dumps, 777 water carts and 16G/H graders. And currently taining on the Cat rubber tyre dozer.
