Re: Anybody That Stunts A Buell
Wouldn't say you need a chain conv. I think it would make things easier though. I have 1800 miles on mine stuntin from the beginning. I have some trouble with tight circles. Wants to chug real hard. I am in the process of converting the primary gear and chain from an XB9 into my XB12. I hear it reduces the final drive ratio by about 10-15%. The belt seems to hold up well 2. Doesn't appear to have stretched yet. I got a spare though, thinking it would have broke by now. Hope this help some. My

Are the 12s delivering substantially more grunt? I've been on both, but didn't spend enough time to make an educated decision. That lower centralized mass concept seems to be a winner, though. They both felt lighter than they are, to me, and just gave me a good center of gravity, especially noticeable at stops and slow speeds.
Do you notice the front brake seeming grabby? That rotor is huge.

I have not yet had the chance to ride a 9. Sorry can't help there. I have read on other sites that the feelings are mixed as well. Some say the 9 is geared to perform the same as the 12. Others say 12 all the way. My feelings on the front brake setup is it rocks. Works very well.
