Author Message   Xmrmx Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 07:50 pm:        Took delivery of my 09 XB12X today and had a blast working on 100 miles of that break-in. Crappy cell phone pic but it's all I have atm...   Aeholton Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 08:22 pm:        Congratulations and welcome! Nice bike (even though it is of the slower blue variety).   Xmrmx Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 08:42 pm:        Blue... yeah. Personally I was disappointed to find out I couldn't get a black or white 09. It's not clear to me yet whether I can purchase an alternate color airbox and bug screen in a different color - plan on getting the carbon add-ons eventually for the rest. I'd also like to change wheel colors.   Bertotti Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 08:46 pm:        Is there a new shape to the 09 air box cover? Look like it hangs over the frame a bit more then my 07. I also thought it was odd you couldn't get a black bike in 09, seems like a standard color choice to me.   Xmrmx Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 09:51 pm:        I'm not sure but the Buell parts catalog seems to have a lot of "except XB12X" in it though...   Skinstains Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 10:08 pm:        Be carefull if you swap out the wheels as the 12X wheels are heavier (more stout) than those on other XB's. Maybe just paint the ones you have ?   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 10:12 pm:        I have the R/S wheels on my Uly. They are 1lb each heavier. Unless you are doing serious off road work, the R/S wheels are fine.   Xmrmx Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 10:23 pm:        Thank for the heads up. I'm not that experienced in painting. As I spend more time here and learn more about the bike I just might take on some projects though. For now, I will work on getting it broke in and getting a better feel for it. Hopefully in spring-summer I will have time to take a trip of 2k miles or so for her real maiden voyage   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, November 15, 2008 - 10:36 pm:        You can also get your Uly in any color of the rainbow you want including translucid colors. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/409608.html?1225508252   4_pete_sake Posted on Sunday, November 16, 2008 - 07:54 am:        Congrats on the new ride... crappy cell phone pics .... yeah right...who's been modest.... I love the blacked out engine and the black pegs dress it out nicely... Again congrats.... Cheers-pete   Svh Posted on Sunday, November 16, 2008 - 10:19 am:        Congrats. You made a great choice. As Ft Bastard pointed out there are plenty of other choices just have to order them up. Ride safe and often. Sam
