Seamed materials come apart , especially if you put your ass on them ...LOL....and they tend to be pricey....Would have to have a sample to see if it can be laced, as I don't sew, glue, or pop-rivet anything together...

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

I needed a left side turn signal lense for the Buell. They are the same as BMW, Ducati, etc., I'm told. Went to the dealer ...$13. They would need to order one. Drove around the corner to a *used parts* shop, and got the whole thing for $5.

Lots of good new and used parts here, & complete bikes,etc.

So... if you are in the area, and need some parts, have a look here. You will probably save some bucks.

Hi Max;
I will have been away from home for 9 months as of Mar. 25th, so nothing was done. I want to get on with it, but I won't be stripping the Buell. I'm going to leave it as is, and use a big twin 5 spd. setup. So once I get back, I can start bolting on some parts.
UHWHAT?
UHWHAT?
