IIRC, you could get an RC30 for 10.5K in 1989. Mine used to eat back tyres...

There is quite literally no amount of money that would ever get me to part with my S1W's.........I have no fascination/interest in money.
Even though I rarely ride any of my Buells, they give me great pleasure........some things, money just cant buy :idea:

Under the 'BELL' logo, do I see an 'END' :?: :?:

I once went to the local bike shop to see my pal who works there and a kid rolled up on a Fireblade for a new rear tyre, he did a burnout and popped the tyre to the amazement of no-one and was then told they hadn't got a tyre in stock.......

Managed to win this and looking for some advice perhaps Maz can help.
I am looking at getting the frame chromed and has anyone got any PM wheels.
I would also like to get it painted yellow can anyone recommend a good painter?
Oh and I'd like a big chrome filter for it like you get on a Harley.

Don't forget the twin headlamp conversion to make it look like a proper Buell. 8-)
