After how well that thing saved my shit, I'm a firm believer that anyone who owns a Buell XB without frame pucks is a fucking retard.

Despite how retarded I am, I am going to rock pucks. I have the new ones... I'm thinkin' takin' off that other frame puck and putting the new ones on might be LAST thing I do... Seriously, it was that much of a pain in the ass.

yeah I really didn't think you were gonna leave it bare frame...

even with the heat gun it was that hard? damn... if you think about it... get some goo-gone and once the outer part is off... soak the SHIT out of the Styrofoam and it should help. it'll also clean up that area where your other puck was.

just be sure to use some brake clean or something to remove all the residue before you put the new pucks on... or you'll not get good adhesion


Edit: I just noticed... your bike didn't come with the pucks? I thought they were standard! damn

It's not the styrofoam that's the problem, it's the double sided tape that sticks that shit to the frame... it's serious stuff.

I have Goof Off which I was planning on using to clean that up... The pucks also come with a two stage kit of some shit to prep the area...

ahh ok... well try the goof off on that double sided tape...

I'd imagine it'd be some tough shit... considering it'd gotta hold up to the force of sliding...

Good work man! The only thing... how do you remember to stop and take pictures? I mean, I just came in from a while in the garage and the camera was RIGHT there. I just was to into doing what I was doing LOL

Good luck with the pucks - I loathe things that are stuck on rather than bolted.

Thanks... Pictures generally happen when I stop to grab another beer, piss, or take a step back to think of what I want to do next...

So those pucks were optional???

Every XB I saw at the Buell dealership had 'em on. But the 1125 didn't have any. wonder if the regular XB ones will work on the 1125?

Yeah, the pucks aren't standard... The only one that comes with them from the factory is the Ulysses IIRC...

The 1125 technically shouldn't need them.. Since it's got Darth Vader in a headlock, that protects it in the event of a drop... Either way, the regular XB pucks probably won't work on the 1125... Different frames... Mine are different than the regular XB's.

True... I guess that is the second reason behind them big ol scoops... cheap crash protection.

I just did a complete build on my chopper... took about 1500 pics during the process. Multiple reasons.

1. For future refrence when putting it back together.
2. To share with others the build
3. To help others with future problems. Many times a pic is worth 1000 words and helps ALOT online.
