My fault for not being more specific. I wish i could combine my two hobbies; good audio and good motorcycles.

This motorcycle had a pretty nice stereo for a bike. It's in the lobby at Kicker HQ.

Can't fit a subwoofer in/on the buell?

Until you ride the thing. It's stupid putting speakers in a bike, I'd much rather just listen to the engine (of course I wouldn't be on a cruiser with grandma on the back, with a skull bandanna over my face either).

[Ohjay 116]

This was in there too and had a nicer stereo.

It's stupid putting speakers in a bike,

It's asinine. But i keep on wasting time trying to think of a way when they clearly, clearly don't go together.

And surprised Sean remembers i have a buell!

That's not all he remembers.

I would say just use headphones, but then again, I'd rather have whatever hearing I have left for traffic.

Most of us Buell owners have quite a grudge against HD.

[S.DeYoung 967]

What about modding your helmet with some badass headphones?

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Without HD, there would be no Buell.

Without HD, I couldn't get any lumber either.

But yes.

[Frostedflakejake 148]

Without HD, there would be no Buell.

That's heavily arguable and something that no one will ever know.

However, it's hard to argue that its not a dick move for HD to not carry Buell parts and refuse to service Buell motorcycles even though they announced that they would be carrying parts and offering service for 3 years after dropping Buell.

Isn't Erik buell trying to get started back up? I saw awhile ago he was releasing a new bike under "Erik Buell Racing." Idk if it ever happened though.

I think they may be in production, but for racing, not street.

Edit: I guess it may be street legal, but there only making a hundred, with a price tag of ~40k.

Yup! EBR is out there and racing; and doing pretty well. Erik made a road legal version of their race bike as... essentially a promotional/ media stunt. Only 100 of them were made and they cost like $30,000 i think. But there is a full line coming, they just aren't there yet. The 1190rs was just Erik finally being able to make a bike the exact way he wanted. Check out their website!

That would make sense. I hope they are able to start back up, making street legal bikes.

[Frostedflakejake 148]

They're even a smaller company now than Buell originally was. They don't have the money the big companies have; it will take them a while to get a line out there. I'm excited to see where it goes! But i'm mostly a streetfighter motorcycle fan, so I'm a little nervous to see what happens!

Holy hell. I was looking at buying a buell this last summer. It just didn't work out, I had other commitments that took all my money. Maybe this next year!

[Frostedflakejake 148]

Sean now is the time to buy man. They seem to only get cheaper and cheaper. Got mine, a 2010 xb12ss with ~1,100 miles for $7,200 out the door.

This year a guy on my forum got a 2009 xb12ss with 1,400 miles for $4,900 out the door. They're dropping like hot cakes.

But remember, lots and lots of parts are really hard to find. Both cosmetic and mechanical parts can be hard to find. And its a coin flip as to whether your HD dealer will service it or not; essentially ignore a warranty if your bike comes with one.

[S.DeYoung 967]

Damn! Time to start looking again.

[Frostedflakejake 148]

Wouldn't hurt to join buellxb.com

It's by far the most helpful forum I've found in the past 3 years or so.

We would love to add another member to the buell brotherhood =]

You'll find out that it's a pretty tight community

my great uncle had a marine amp hooked up to aftermarket marine speakers mounted in (I'm assuming it was a factory option) factory cutouts in his Road Glide/Electra Glide and was plenty loud even at freeway speeds.
