Check out the before and after pictures. Just new paint, but I think it looks a whole lot meaner. What do you guys think? ![before buell and after buell](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/159113.jpg) The blue is before, and the black is after. I am loving it. Next comes matte black powder coated wheels when these tires wear out. Too bad they're brand new. |

Looks very intimidating. Any plans for the frame and swingarm? Perhaps a black tint windshield as well. What paint did you use? Primer first? |

I just used semi-gloss black automotive paint without primer. I "washed" all the plastic with steel wool and detergent to remove all the oil and rough it up a little. The paint stuck just fine to the rough plastic. I am trading a friend for a clear windshield which I will paint on the inside with black. I won't be doing that until the wheels get powdercoated. |

Thats a good start to a blacked out bike, but you should probably just get a smoke shield in case you really want to use it. I saved this pic from a while back, he had it for sale in the classified section. Its by far the best blacked out 12R I have ever seen,plus you could probably get some ideas.![black 12r](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/159123.jpg) |

Deuceman, I really dig the flat black bodywork. But those wheels are showpieces and I think painting them black is going to far. But I do kinda like the all black bike above. Heck, I dunno. Best to go aheda and do what please you. ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

Looks good I've debated changing mine from white to black several times. |

Lonexb, How is it going? Is the bike fixed this time? Can't stop riding the new XB12X. See you soon. Mike (Message edited by rkc00 on November 13, 2005) |
