I tried to wait it out either on ebay or the badwebs classified for a set of XB wheels. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and just purchase them new. Anyone know who I should call that would have them in stock for immediate shipment?

My dealer said 3-4 weeks to get them : (

Really?? Everywhere I've called has told me 3-4 weeks for them to get them and less then a week to get them to me. Today I spoke with amanda from St. Paul HD/Buell out of Minnesota. I got the same answer.

I'll give you a call tomorrow for sure. The name is Phillip right?

Thanks.

Guys,

DarkHorseMoto just purchased a 2003 XB9R with only 13,000 miles and a nearly brand new set of Diablos on it. I plan to sell the wheels and the tires either together or separately. I would rate the wheels an eight out of ten. Let me know if you are interested.

Badlionsfan, I'd be interested in the villain black wheels! As long as Akironic and Jaydub don't want them. What type of condition are they in? Selling with tires?

Last Saturday at Buell of Danbury

Now if Jeff could just get them to become a board sponser & offer a 10% badwab discount, then we'd have something.

I would do a lot of business with them then, as they are much closer to me.

But paying full retail just stinks, so I'll continue to do business with my friends in Rahway!

Throw my 2 cents in here, if you can get a cheap set of silvers, have them powder coated. I want the translucent blue but I can't see paying 350.00 a pop! I am looking for a steal on those or a good buy on some silver. Most powder coaters around here have the translucent powder to make the silvers look very close to what I want.

Saintly,

They were the ONLY ones in the area that could get me in and out on Saturday with a new set of Pirellis. Bellmore (closest) and NewRoc (second best) both wanted me to leave the bike.

And they did it for about $120 LESS than I would've paid at Bellmore, too.

I have a rear translucent Amber that has a scrape on the lip that actually could be sanded out. I'm getting ready to throw it on Ebay. It also has the brake rotor on it. I just may sand out the scrape first myself.

I am willing to part with my pair of Trans. Amber wheels from my 12r. I am also in need of the Villians. AKI, I saw the same Ebay listing, I just couldnt part with the money at the time. Of course, now that I have the money and was ready to just drop the cash, they are gone. Oh well. I thought about just sanding mine down, but I heard it is a real pain as the coating is thick and takes many hours of sandblasting to get them prep'd. The front is a 9 out of 10, thanks to the bozo at Cycle Gear who put a small chip in the lip while mounting new rubber. and the rear is flawless. somehow. I wont be listing them anywhere, but if anyone is interested, let me know, we can work something out.

I have been needing someone to come on here and beg for some villian black wheels so that I can sell them to them cheap and buy me the blue ones.........problem is I wouldnt be able to send the black ones out till I got the blue ones in and my new tires mounted to them and on the bike.......chances are when I buy the blue wheels my 07' black wheels will be up for sale for $400 plus the cost of shipping.

i'm in the same boat that you are in Lazyj. i figured around $425 plus shipping with the tires.

i should clarify that the front tire has much more life left than the rear. as i said i'll get some pics up if i decide to do it and buellshiter wants to help me do a wheel change while we're doing the other stuff.
