Thanks so much! If you go back to my earlier videos in the playlist, you'll see where it all started. Talk about a clapper lol! ua-cam.com/video/dVyVhP1h9og/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Question: Have you ever thought about installing a steering damper? Love Buells but the short wheel base & tight rake that make them handle so well also makes me feel like they can bite at times. Thanks for any input you can offer.
@@r.williamcomm7693 I have not. But my buddy did I think he ended up removing it. I’m of the opinion that if the suspension is tuned properly, it won’t need a damper. My opinion is based on Dave Moss’s opinion.
@kz6fittycent Thank you very much for the advice & quick reply. I went ahead & bought the Buell xb12xt! I'm an "experienced" rider over decades but honesty in recognizing my limitations & wanting to challenge myself is why I bought it. The longer wheel bases & friendly rake angles of my cruisers, touring bikes & even my Concours14 made riding easier instead of challenging me. It became more about the number of miles than enjoying each turn in a twisty road. The Buell reminds me of a dirt bike at times too. Thanks again. I'm going to look up Dave Moss & start learning more about setting up the suspension properly. 👍
That's amazing, you kept the original spirit , which is absolutely perfect
@@tontonsatan3093 thanks!
Wow! Looks great?
Absolutely amazing... Mine looks like a clapper compared to yours. Glad you got it up and running. Enjoy the ride!
