CRG Mirrors rock... I was surprised at the quality.
Got some fork and swingarm sliders too...
I just need to chop that tail and it`ll be a done deal :rockon:

Are those tank-covers acrylic? Definitely a unique look for those Buells... Lookin good so far!
Anything in the works to really make it "pop"?

That's gonna be one minimilist rear end, when you do the chop and put the FE on the Bike.
Lovely Bike by the way...very fond of the Beulls, one just may find it's way into my garage one day, with any luck!

Dude, I've seen his bike in person. It pops all by itself. Those blue rims are sick as hell and the bike sounds amazing.:thumbup:
I think that that is not even a tank, I am pretty sure that it is just the air filter under there and the tank is a lot lower (or even inside the frame, i can't recall) but i have seen a lot of people run with just K&N's hanging out the top, it is more of a hooligan look.

This might sound like a stupid question, but if the frame is actually the tank,does it alter the centre of gravity as it uses fuel ?

time to clean the tank wave...I can see smudges on the paint. Bike looks amazing.

Nope, and that's why Buell does it, it keeps the center of gravity lower and evenly dispersed from side to side, I am not sure if this is one of the bikes that does that though (Wavex?).
Here is an article on some of the different technologies that Buell uses on it's bikes:

Looking good Wavex! This forum has conditioned me to dis-like the Blue in favor of the Red :Flip: but your bike really is the hotness!
Slight sidenote. Has anyone seen the new Buell 1125CR (Cafe Racer) yet? I just saw it mentioned in my Rider magazine. I like it a lot!

it is a nice looking bike for the most part, i personally think the sidepods are a bit too huge. I like Wavex's a lot better than the Cafe Racer. Just personal opinion though
Thanks! The plastic tank cover is translucent... you can see some control wires underneath it, as well as the top of the airbox
Suspension + brakes are awesome.
I love the ride
very torquy... fun in all gears at all rpms
Fuel is in the frame indeed... the plastic cover houses the airbox & filter.

Sure, just like on your bike
nothing that can be felt though... One of the main focuses of Buell was to centralize and lower the weight as much as possible and it`s even more the case on the Scg model... lowered suspension and seat... the changing fuel level won`t impact the CoG much.
haha I know I haven`t washed the bike yet... for some reason, everytime I get a new bike, it takes me weeks, or sometimes months before I give it its first bath... once I wash it once though, I will wash it regularly after that...not sure why :rockon::cheer:

Yeah not sure why they call that a cafe, but anyway, I don`t like it at all... we know the engine is amazing, but other than that I think it looks like crap with that weird headlight and huge air rams...

So you are going to cut off that tail section?
A friend of mine just got rid of the reflectors and such and that did plenty, I kinda like the rear section on those bikes. However, it is your bike though. It will be interesting to see what it looks like with out that on there.

Yes, that`s the last thing I want to do to it... or maybe I`ll do a slight exhaust mod too eventually (a guy on the Buell forum does the mod to the stock exhaust for cheap)...
It`ll basically look like this (with the regular tail angle... this one is increased) after the tail is chopped (with black forks, subframe, and the blue wheels and tank)
