"Makers" examples - The Buell


No repair / restore pics of in progress work, but I basically cleaned it up, straightened it out and made it run right. Sold it in January for almost a grand more than I paid for it. Fixed, repaired, replaced:
  • New Corbin seat
  • New stock handlebars
  • New brake pads front and rear.
  • Replaced / polished badly oxidized parts. Used new stainless steel where ever I could.
  • New rear fender / belt drive guard.
  • Removed all the faux leather "bras", there was even one on the oil cooler (???).
  • Polished the wheels and most of the aluminum.
  • Tuned it to run right with the "race" engine management chip.
  • Turned the suspension for the fancy adjustable mono-shock.
  • New battery. Cleaned a bunch of electrical leads.
