At risk of upsetting you HD owners, but it's the nearest thing to my Buell, I wonder if anyone knows of an engine specialist who might be interested in doing some work on my Buell lump?
Bike is an 06 Buell XB12X Ulysses which lunched it's top end on the rear cylinder in France. This happened a few years ago (er, about 8 or 9 I think), and it pissed me off so I just got the thing recovered and chucked it in the shed and ignored it.
Anyway, decided to look at it, dropped the engine and whipped the rear head off - lo & behold a broken spring on the (I think), inlet valve. End result is bent valve, a few dings on the piston, and a slight groove in the bore.
I want to get it rebuilt, not just the one cylinder but I want it completely overhauled - if possible upgraded a bit for a tad more oomph but that's not critical. I'm looking for someone who's a whizz on what is essentially a 1200cc Sportster engine, if not an actual Buell specialist.
Anyone have any contacts or can refer me on to someone? I'm based near Bath but can of course travel a reasonable distance to take it to someone.
Thanks.
Clive
