ConeKLR 04-05-2005, 11:23 AM Picked up a 2003 white firebolt in NY. It has a full fairing, Buell race kit muff, ecm, air filter.
I've have ridden other bikes in the past from standard like V-Max, Radian and Honda CBR. The bolt is so different, lots of bottom end torq. :drool:

Good!!
ConeKLR 04-06-2005, 01:30 AM Pics :whistle:
Looks Good. I Would Go Crazy Thinkin About Which Graphics Would Look Good On It. Is That Gonna Be A Track Or Street Or Both?
ConeKLR 04-06-2005, 01:45 AM It's mainly a street bike but I do plan to take it some on road courses. Yeah, it needs a paint job and yes i have about 5 different paint jobs and schemes/graphics i have been thinking about. :bonk:
Be sure to post that sh_t up when it's all done.
Gas Man 04-06-2005, 05:56 AM Man o man, those things have short wheel bases... not bad lookin for a Buell... :D
pickle.of.doom 04-06-2005, 10:57 AM Sweet ride man! That bike will be a freakin blast!
2FURYUS 04-07-2005, 12:30 PM Very nice bike.. :dthumb:
Hey real nice bike man love the lights.
snakemann 04-07-2005, 03:43 PM that lower fairing is sweet
Gas Man 04-07-2005, 04:13 PM that lower fairing is sweet
Welcome Snakemann... Remember :twfrox: but :wtf: are you thinkng... it looks a little bare and needs something down there... a pic of somin, some racing stripes, a Twistiefied Racing logo, a couple of cool air vents...somin!
snakemann 04-07-2005, 11:15 PM looks like a good candidate for a race replica IMO :drool:
Gas Man 04-08-2005, 11:34 AM That would look LOADS better!!!! especially the first one..
lucky 04-09-2005, 07:52 AM i have a yellow 05 xb9r and would love to get the full fairings like that would anyone happen to know a good place to get something like that.
jeeps84 04-09-2005, 08:54 AM Man o man, those things have short wheel bases... not bad lookin for a Buell... :D
I think that's what makes the Buell and the Monster's handle so well.
I also think its the biggest downfall in the new Buell's :2cents:
Gas Man 04-09-2005, 11:04 PM Oh don't get it twisted!! I WILL be test ridin some Buells in about a month!!!
brupska 04-12-2005, 08:26 AM Do a google for sharkskinz. They are the ones that make them for the Buell Firebolts. They will send you to Hals HD and you need to email HALs. I can never get on their online catalog site. They make them for street or race.
ConeKLR 04-14-2005, 09:29 AM Here is some info for yuz guyz that are looking for firebolt fairings.
The company that makes my full fiberglass fairing is located at www.sebimoto.com
They have a reseller/dealer located in NJ.

Here's the sharkskin site, not sure if they have firebolt parts

:twfrox:
lucky 04-14-2005, 10:01 AM thanks i checked out sharkskinz and sebimoto. Sebimoto's dealer is less than half the price i am trying to get them on the phone though cause their site doesnt say anything about the street legal ones that have the holes for the headlights.

Its not hard to cut the hole.
Make a template from the OEM stuff. :dthumb:
lucky 04-14-2005, 10:32 AM its like you read my mind i just got off the phone and was going to ask someone on here how hard would that be.
jeeps84 04-14-2005, 10:37 AM its like you read my mind i just got off the phone and was going to ask someone on here how hard would that be.
I've used a Dremel and poster paper.
Always cut the holes small and trim out after test fit.
The last set I did I cut 3 or 4 times before I had a proper fit.
Luckily GSXR stuff isn't that much more to get the pre cut stuff. :luck:
Gas Man 04-14-2005, 10:42 AM Yeah like Jeeps said just do it yourself....
What did they say on the phone though?
lucky 04-14-2005, 11:02 AM just that they only sell them without holes and that i would have to do it myself. he also said that if i had a completely stock bike (which it is) i might have to make some more modifications but they shouldnt be a problem.
Gas Man 04-14-2005, 11:28 AM Cool deal!

Like making brackets?
Pleas elaborate!
lucky 04-14-2005, 11:37 AM i am thinking i should probably have some one else do it. i am worried about srewing up the actual mounting of it.
ConeKLR 04-14-2005, 12:22 PM Lucky, I can post some pics of how it is mounted and any additional brackets that were added. It's really not that bad, so it seems. I have taken the fairing on and off since I got the bike. It's really easy to do. So I can't see why installing it would be that hard.
jeeps84 04-14-2005, 12:25 PM There's your hook up! :dthumb:
lucky 04-14-2005, 12:36 PM that would be great save on labor costs.
Pigface1 04-14-2005, 12:49 PM I like them anyway, but that's an awesome looking bike with the full fairing on it. . Congrats. :here:
Gas Man 04-14-2005, 07:34 PM Just do it!!
ConeKLR 04-17-2005, 11:38 AM okay here are some pics of the brackets and attachment points.
ConeKLR 04-17-2005, 11:54 AM pics
There are a total of 8 attachment points on the upper fairing.
Working your way around starting from the kick stand side:
1) One bracket attached to the side just below the seat using the factory torq bolt and connecting to the fairing with small hex bolt and nut.
2) One screw and nut just below the mirror
3) The mirrors two mirror bolts going thru the fairing
4) windscreen screw
5) windscreen screw
6) The mirrors two mirror bolts going thru the fairing
7) One screw and nut just below the mirror
8) One bracket attached to the side just below the tank using the factory torq bolt and connecting to the fairing with small hex bolt and nut.
9) One bracket attached to the side just below the seat using the factory torq bolt and connecting to the fairing with small hex bolt and nut.
Then of course you have the small fairing that covers the muffler. It has four DIZ screws on each side.
Gas Man 04-17-2005, 03:16 PM See Lucky because :twfrox: it will save you money on your labor...but not on your car insurance!! :D
