if anyone is interested I have put the build video on my youtube channel...

you can find me by searching @jtccc

saw the vids. very nice! Also those FCRs look sick.

I was so impressed with the speed/tacho I fitted to the Buell, I decided to fit one to this bike! A bit easier than the Buell housing as there were no complicated angles, bit it still took a while to machine. I managed to incorporate some grommets so its nicely rubber mounted as well.

I don’t know what the alloy was (The scrap yard said it was from one of the aerospace companies locally) but it machined so nicely, The downside was the chips were small and very sharp… I had an official warning as somehow she kept finding the chips in the house…. and one ended up in her heel…. 

The instructions are in english, but a lot was lost in translation, so it took a while to figure out the wiring, and the programming for the speedo calibration and Tacho pulses, but I got there in the end. Its also nice to have a trip meter. As always I did a bit of etching to personalise it.

At the same time I took the opportunity to change the bars… I wanted to drop the front end as I had done this on a previous build and it sharpens the handling. The Multistrada forks are a lot longer than many other models… I found some raised clamps on Aliexpress that fitted nicely to the top of the stanchions now raised above the top yoke.

I love it!

well I had a little ride on the Buell....  it goes VERY VERY well!  I cant believe how they have got that old Sportster engine to produce so much power and torque!  It spins up amazingly fast...  It's nothing like the 2006 Sportster 1200 I used to own, that had about 50 BHP

Its certainty MUCH more powerful than the Guzzi and I dare say a fair bit more than the Ducati as well!  It was only a brief ride but the handling feels very sharp as well, but I didn't push at all as the tyres are new...

Does it vibrate?  well...  yes, but not as bad as I imagined.  I will report back once I have ridden it in anger

IMO, best Buell I've seen
