I like it! Perhaps a few Jap(anese) insignias, as in "shot down"! | ||
| Paulson |
Well done No_rice!! I like the XB9R stencil you did. That bike looks good. | ||
| Ratyson |
No_Rice, Cool idea! That looks great. +1 with Buellfighter's idea. | ||

Very nice! Good use of material and making something out of nothing. I would love to have another bike to take to the complete opposite end of the spectrum like that. I can see your bike in a 4th of July or Memorial Day parade. Only thing I would do is add a few more military type details such as "warning" maybe some #'s and introduce some flat black into the paint scheme like around the lights and the windshield to balance out the color with the seat and primary cover. Also instead of trying to hide the hole in the fairing...show it off and accentuate it like you took some enemy fire...maybe a line of bullet holes with flat black around the holes. Sorry, that is just my years of critiques coming out in me. I do that for a living so take each suggestion with a grain of salt and a thumbs up. I really like what you have its just me creative directing again. | ||

No_rice, nice look! James, not everyone needs to have a "Shiny Show Bike" to have a cool ride. Some would say that a red Buell with amber wheels and stock exhaust leaves you no room to say anything. But since these are opinions we all agree you a entitled to your own as we are. No asskissing, just Buellers enjoying each others bikes. It may seem to be asskissing to you, but to me it's more "if you've got nothing good to say, STFU." Otherwise you may catch yourself on the wrong side of a custodian or even Blake. Now back on topic. StealthXB, a good friend of mine and a fellow 3%er has done something similar to his XB12S. XB12R top triple clip ons Header wrap (no in this pic) American Sportbike intake system Odie's Special OPS pipe Maybe more mods, I'm not sure. I really like the scheme of his, and No_rice's. Here's an old pic of Stealth's bike  | ||

No_rice--that is awesome! Boisebuelly, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but the way you conveyed it was just rude and I would bet you wouldn't say that to his face. WT | ||
| Race_pirate |
Looks Great!!! Thats all I used was spray cans. Ultra Flat Olive drab, Black, Red & White. I hand cut my stencils and numbers.  | ||
| Blackxb9 |
Man if I saw all three of those bikes coming down the road together I wouldn't know if I should salute or run for cover. | ||
| Isham |
I love it. I like the fact that its not perfect. Great idea!!! | ||
| Jerseyguy |
Nice job guys! You have really captured the look you were after. | ||
| Odie |
Here's one I really like of Stealth's bike.....  | ||
| Fcbuell |
Yeah, props to you all. Bikes are sick!! | ||
| Stealthxb |
The bike looks dope No_Rice! I just painted my helmet with green. I like to think of my bike as having anti-bling! Boisebuelly... You are missing the point like a retarded kids crayons! The title of this thread is "Ultimate streetfighter". From what I know, a streefighter emphasizes function over form. They are similar to military vehicles in the fact that they are designed for simplicity and ease of maintenance.  | ||
| Tq_freak |
Stealth you hit the nail on the head. I have to give props to all three bikes cause that are so BAD*SS looking. Stealth I really like the "kills" flags on the side of the frame | ||
| Boisebuelly |
Jeez, you guys are really sensitive. What ever happened to free speech? You have to admit that it is ridiculous that Im not permited to state my opinion on a bike, abliet negative, without my account being threatened. | ||
| Drift |
Ahem... One more time. You are more than willing to express your opinion. In fact we prefer it that way. The point was made that your inference was hostile sounding. You may not have intended for it to be that way. No worries dude. Just be a little less condemning and keep on telling us what you think.  | ||
| No_rice |
i dont think its so much that u state your opinion at all, i think it is just that u dont have any tact. i mean i could make crap of someone all day in such a polite way that they dont get offended and i still get to tell them what i think. but on that note im not offended. it honestly doesnt bother me if you like it or not. it is nice that you notice it is a crappy spray can job, because thats exactly what it is supposed to be. if i wanted something else i would have just pulled it in our paint booth and done that then. i also think the whole account thing was just pointing out that since all you seem to have to say about ANYTHING is negative comments that you could almost just as well not be around. i mean really you are in actuallity only one year younger than me, but i had to look in your profile to make sure you were even old enough to drive. sorry, attitude threw me off alittle bit on the age. this is just to much fun!  | ||

What ever happened to free speech? No one has hindered your free speech. Start your own board and say what ever you want. You agreed to the terms of BadWeB, now live with the rules as they are, or leave, this is not debatable, period. Trolling is not allowed. You can have a negative opinion without being rude. without my account being threatened. Too bad, live up to the rules of live with the consequences. | ||

Now back on topic. | ||
| No_rice |
mr cruell... you know how neat it would be to have your 3 yr old daughter to have had something to do with the paint design on your bike though. what more of an explanation would you need, lol. my 6 yr old daughter helped me do some sanding last weekend when i had her. i would have let her try painting too(although it kinda looks like she might have done most of the painting on it, lol) but she wasn't here when i was finishing it up. ps(see i can slam my self and its way funnier!) | ||
| Rocketman |
No rice, Never has so little done so much to this community LOL. That paint job is awesome. It's that good I want to go lay my hands on a wreck! Stunning!! Rocket | ||
| Diablobrian |
It would be really cool to get No_Rice, Stealthxb, and Race_Pirate's bikes together for a photo. If we could get an Apache, Cobra or an Abrahms in the background....... Maybe for a new BadWeb calender? | ||
| Glitch |
That would be cool. Too bad they all live so far apart. Looks like a job for photoshop! If ya'll send me a full sized picture of your bikes, I'll see what I can do. Send them to glitch @ badweatherbikers . com | ||
| Roc |
I love it! You will need to replace the black plastic pieces that tape to the fairing under the headlights, or maybe some aluminum strips?, or the sun will damage the plastic there. Like burning ants. | ||
| 99buellx1 |
That looks like CRAP! The brake lever that is!  | ||
| No_rice |
lmao, hmm i wonder who let me borrow that so i could get it back on the road for a bit?????? craig! | ||
| Cosmo751 |
I only have one negative comment - I wish I'd thought of that paint job first ! LOL... Great work - clever and highly original. | ||
| Diablobrian |
Glitch: "If ya'll send me a full sized picture of your bikes, I'll see what I can do." I want a high res copy if you do it. Let me know if it's going to happen. | ||
| No_rice |
hey glitch i'm all up for that if you think you could. i couldnt photo shop something if my life depended on it. have no idea how. would love to figure it out sometime. anyway i would bet the other guys would like it to. let me know what kind of a pic you want(angle and such) and i'll take one. wanted to take some pics of it in the sun outside today, but it started snowing this morning and there is like an inch now  i havent even gotten to ride it since i put it back together. that was my big plan for today.... brian, sorry i havent gotten back to you yet i type so damn slow it takes me forever to sit down and send emails back, lol. | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
I love the scheme guys!!! After I saw Race Pirate's original post of his bike I just knew I had to do it, but different. I'm going to go with the dark and light grey that the Marine SeaCobra attack helo's use. I admire the time you put into it No_rice. I instead am cheezin it cuz I'm going to ask the boys down at MALS to cut the stencils for me.  |
