I still have some work to do but she's running again. I put the Micron Full System (ceramic coated headers) on with the open airbox mod. I installed a catch can and filter and had my ECM re-mapped by Al at American Sport Bike. Just got it back from paint too. It's a flat charcoal color.

Yep looks pretty sweet to me, from what I have been hearing that setup should rip- have fun. Keep at least one wheel on the road!

With the alleged fragility of the belt, why would you risk damaging it sooner by removing the guard

I think the rims would look better silver than black.
There are a lot of blacked out bikes out there.



The XB12 being 04+ does not have the more fragile 03 belt.

I was planning on getting the black wheels and a black windscreen but I think I'm going to hold off for now. These little additions cost a few bucks so I need to chill out for a little. I actually like the way it looks as it is now. Silver would look cool but the main reason I want all black is so I don't have to wash it a lot. I hate cleaning my bike...it was made for riding...

That looks F-Ing Sweet!

I would suggest painting the muffler cover the same color as the seat

That's a great color! I almost like that better than a flat black. I've got lots of ideas for this winter now!

Alleged. I haven't had a guard on my '03 for a year and I have a gravel driveway.
