Does anybody have any pictures of a blue XB-R with windscreens of any color other than clear?

Just so happens a Blue Buell XB is the featured bike at Zero Gravity's home page:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw the light smoke pictures on ZG's web site. Not too terribly impressed. I think the dark smoke matt posted looks sharp - really sharp. It looks like matt has the stock-sized windscreen. I was looking for a picture just like he posted to see if the ST screen would look too huge. I was also wondering if anybody else would be so asthetically challenged as to try a yellow windscreen (not that I'm that daring).

Mine is sold by Buell...same shape as stock. Honestly I don't like the ST or Double Bubble look. The only other color I might consider is silver but for my bike the complimentary colors are blue, black, and silver.

It is kind of cool ain't it?

The location is beyond Camp Nelson, CA about 60 miles north and 60 miles east of Bakersfield. The picture was taken is at the end of Highway 190 with Camp Nelson about 15 miles back...well sort of the end...it was the end of the plowing as right behind me when I took the picture was a snow bank deadend about 20 feet high. The sign in the background reads 8000 foot elevation. It was really trippy to ride "in the snow"...the bike got a bit muddy but it hosed off pretty good when I got back to the Camp.

Cool bike in your profile Ejiii! I am thinking of getting an XR650L and motarding it myself.

I thought the picture was up the Angeles Crest Hwy or something. Close enough. All that snow and a dry looking road...very cool.
A motard XR650 is sweet. My Duke was fantastic. Vibration was it's downfall. If I didn't have a bad disc in my back I would still be riding it! You, and I'm sure many others, will be happy to know that the Buell handles better believe it or not.

Looks good but it DID melt my gauge cluster a little.

Funily enough my gauge cluster is ok.

A tad cooler in Scotland perhaps.
