Title: maybe selling buell Post by LostArtist on 06/09/11 at 18:41:01 if I can't get the suspension adjusted to be a bit softer . . . when I get off it, I feel like Jackie Chan did in Shanghai Noon when he got off that horse after a long day's ride. . . feeling every bump in your crotch isn't the best riding experience |

Title: Re: maybe selling buell Post by Serowbot on 06/10/11 at 09:25:28 My buddy got rid of his, because the fuel in frame, was burning his right leg... No problems with that?... He's riding one of the new Triumph Bonneville's now,... and the fit and finish on those is amazing... beautiful machine... I imagine you have the shock adjusted to the softest setting already,... or is it stuck?... |

... nor is going numb from the vibrations in the seat. Now you know the REAL reason for the King & Queen seat on the Triumph http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Triumph/DSC00792.jpg and the springer seat on the Enfield http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/DamSite.jpg But that was never a problem on the Savage -- it got the custom seat for sore butt and lower back issues: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/drharveys/Suzuki/DSC00891.jpg |

Title: Re: maybe selling buell Post by LostArtist on 06/10/11 at 10:35:21 I would love a Triumph Bonneville, however, they dont' come cheap, ever. I need to mess with the suspension on the buell some more for sure, the heat from the engine and fuel in frame isn't really all that bad, unless you are stopped at a stop light that won't cycle for you, then it can get a bit intense. think I'm going to try to trade everything in for a Suzuki S 83 http://www.wildwesthonda.com/showcaseproductdetail.htm?ID=181148&Used=1&Model=2007%20Suzuki%20Boulevard%20S83 My only problem with my S-50 is that I keep looking for another gear on the highway. then I will have owned them all, the S-40, S-50 and S-83 ;D for some reason that makes me stupid happy |

Springs are relatively cheap. |
