How to setup 04 Buell XB12R, just got this from new sponsor
Just picked this up from our Buell sponsorship and Toys For Big Boys Moncton, got another one coming up soon.
Any help or advice would be great on how to set it up. Has anyone ever stunted these?
How to put the idle up?
Any cage for this bike?
Handbrake?
Looking to setup a round bar if possible?
Any special mods needed, oil pickup?
Here's a few pics and small test drive vid.

Thanks for the advice but why a chain? We want to keep it as close to stock as possible we only want to add a handbrake and then cage and round bar for protection. If it's a lot better a chain then we might have to that mod too.

just got rid of the buell myself. but powers stuntworks makes a cage. i woulnt get it though because it bolts to the front motor mounts...
you have to put a new piston on the rear brake for a handbrake setup.
12 bar hasnt been produced but s doable.
the idle can be adjusted by taking off the air scoop on the left hand side.
and a sprocket can easily be aqcuired....
check out badweatherbikers.com
and
buelletinboard.com
they are always helpful, and always welcoming stunters....

my friend stunts his buell or is just catching idle on it...it's all stock...and im pretty sure the fuel in in the frame, and the tank is a cover? and the oil is in the swing arm lol
he's just gonna fab up some really long sliders and use the pucks for back up...but as of ride now when your on idle it sucks cause the idle bounces up and down

Bubba's 12R does not have stock gear. It may have a while ago.
Bubba's 12R has a 72 as well as his xb9. Both his bikes are chain drive. They just built a long "slider" instead of a full cage. Custom bars for both. They fabbed a 4 piston the on the 12 and welded the stock pegs up for a subcage. I have some pics at home i will put up. Team blackwell is killin it this year!

All you really need is a chain drive i have one PM me. Also if you get another one from your sponsor get the XB9R way better stuntbikes then the 12's. I rode both it's like night and day.
