Wish they came in Sunset Orange to match my Lightning Long, but its not one of the color choices. Oh well.   Buelltroll Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 07:07 pm:        THOSE are computer generated...   99buellx1 Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 07:08 pm:        I like their pulley cover.   Pupu Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 07:17 pm:        he had them on ebay, only had like 4 sets and that was it, at least that is what he said, there were blue ones on there like 2 days ago   Duff24 Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 07:24 pm:        Saw a guy selling some of those on ebay, they went for like $130 a pair (claiming they were limited production?). Also saw some blue ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Heel-guard-set-for-Buell-XB-blue-anodize_W0QQitem Z4642499922QQcategoryZ35568QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Only thing I don't like is the color, it's not an exact match to the gold wheels, but are brighter which brings too much attention to them...

I like their sprocket cover, but I like the Norris Performance/Drummer cover I've got better! I've got the billet one on my street bike, and we have a black anodized one for the race bike. Better yet, Drummer aka kdfab.com is a board sponsor! I do not see the sprocket cover on the website yet, but if you call Kevin He'll be happy to give you all the details on this new item!   Diablobrian Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 08:15 pm:        Never mind, I read the auction description. Seems a little odd that after paying to have the dies made he would only have a few sets made. Once you are at that point it is very easy to crank out a hundred of sets a day or more. The hard part would be over, unless his dies were of poor quality. I worked for years as a machinist, both prototype and production line. I am very familiar with the manufacturing processes involved. Compared to CNC parts, stamped parts are very close to printing money once you have the "coining" dies made. (pun intended) I wonder if Mike Norris has any heel guards for the XB's in the works? Maybe cut to match the sprocket cover? I'd buy a set   Duff24 Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 08:18 pm:          Isham Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 09:14 pm:        Even the sprocket guard looks hot   Indy_bueller Posted on Tuesday, May 23, 2006 - 09:20 pm:        Maybe one of our sponsors could buy the design and dies.......
