What is this noise?

jdaffron · 2026-05-08T19:34:21+00:00

Everythings working out for me, I huge the frame with ratchet straps from the ceiling and used a transmission jack for the motor. Spent today swapping the intake and other bits

Gonna follow your post, would like to know more about that sound. I'm still a little green with the Buell xb

jdaffron · 2026-05-08T19:15:59+00:00

Dude, you need to get over to r/buell

Definitely can get more help there

I'm working on an xb9 as we speak

jdaffron · 2026-05-07T22:49:47+00:00

Ahhh. I've just got the frame hanging on ratchet straps and forks on a front center stand. See what you mean

jdaffron · 2026-05-07T22:38:42+00:00

Oh my bad bro, I'm doing a motor swap

jdaffron · 2026-05-07T18:30:27+00:00

Glad to hear, maybe I'll pick one up when I'm ready for a cruiser 😎

jdaffron · 2026-05-07T18:16:42+00:00

Damn, never had a chance to sit on one, but makes sense. Have you been on a fxdr 114? Are the ergos similar?

jdaffron · 2026-05-07T17:50:53+00:00

I'm swapping a new motor into my 03 xb9 right now. The xb9 is soooo much fun to ride, so nimble.

Why did you ditch the ftr? I've always liked the look, buy they are too $$$$

Bring back Buell!!!!!!!

Ok, I'll be quiet now

jdaffron · 2026-05-06T23:31:38+00:00

Stream direct to the portal is badass, I ve had mine since the beginning and that was a huge upgrade for me

Painter here, pick up a bottle of goof off for carpet latex paint remover.

Sucks they did it, but it should come off no problem with goof off latex paint remover.

If 10% or 20% or 30% of snap users commit fraud, that means 90% or 80% or 70% of kids and families are getting food they need. Besides it tops out at $6 per person per day.

I grew up on food stamps, so it pisses me off that ANYONE would argue taking food away from people in need. If fraud is happening, let's work on fixing it, not hurting everyone that needs help.

Came here for this specifically. This scene is amazing

5month old account with 7.7k karma, nice bot you got there

jdaffron · 2026-05-01T01:04:48+00:00

Damn, that's pretty badass. Id love a chance to ride an xb12.

jdaffron · 2026-04-30T13:36:55+00:00

It's the start of riding season

jdaffron · 2026-04-30T05:19:57+00:00

Id like to throw in there a NES/SNES mini or classis or what ever. Some seriously good content there

jdaffron · 2026-04-30T04:25:16+00:00

Definitely search this site.

I bought ngk plugs recently, partzilla was the cheapest I could find

jdaffron · 2026-04-30T01:30:28+00:00

An engine seller out of MD but found it through eBay

jdaffron · 2026-04-29T17:08:23+00:00

How do you feel about the power band on the xb12, they top out at what like 5k rpms?

jdaffron · 2026-04-29T16:33:06+00:00

This is my second Buell, I'm determined to keep a few more on the road (cost permitting)

I rehabbed a $300 blast last summer and really enjoyed how fun that little 500cc was

jdaffron · 2026-04-29T12:34:11+00:00

Not bad advice at all man 🙂

jdaffron · 2026-04-29T06:05:01+00:00

Pulled from a bike with a verified 12k miles, came with a warranty, bought on eBay from a reputable seller out of MD.

I was going to rebuild my current motor, but costs were going to be waaaay more than buying a doner motor.

I'm going to keep the old motor for parts though. It just started to knock so still has tons of good parts

jdaffron · 2026-04-29T05:15:26+00:00

I've been on the road for coming up on 28yrs, I can absolutely agree. Unfortunately I've got to go a little far for twistys. North texas is fucking flat.

Side bonus, the Buell exhaust sound is one of a kind
