This is a local guys' XB. I met him when it was orange, and I prefer that better, but this is it now. I'd like to say this is my handiwork, but alas, that is not true.

Yes, it's just as clean in person.

I like it. It would go down the strip probably pretty good stretched like it is.

Same as yours. Just infront of the rear wheel in the swingarm.

dude even chromed the passenger peg arms.

I'm not sure I like the frame painted other than black or silver. The welds just dont look right to me.

looks nice though the only reason i would use such a long swing arm is for drag racing

Mirrors, license plate, passenger pegs, STOCK turn signals, STOCK controls....


I just don't get it. I do, however, like the color. A lot.

4/10, purely for the color.

I like it for what is. As far as some of the stock pieces?? I'm quite sure this bike isn't done.Money doesn't grow on tree's and I don't think any of us here did all our mods over night. I know that swingarm is some ching. The paint wasn't cheap either. Wheel's he had close to 8-900 into chroming them.Everyone has taste of there own. If ya like cool thats great say so if not why say anything at all.

i like the bike. i think they went a little over board with the shade shifting pearl. but like dana said it may not be complete yet either.

It's as done as it will get with this owner, the thread I linked to is the "for sale" ad (Weird some of you can't see it, thanks for posting pics).

The owner built the swingarm himself, and this bike is definitely street-ridden. The first two times I saw it, he had ridden it to visit us at CycleConnection, from Springfield, a 180 mile round-trip. He hit twisties with it too.

I don't care so much for stretched swingarms (Maybe an inch or two, but that's it), and I liked it orange, but the work is top-notch.

what it shows it how customizable these bikes are. It's a blinger that's for sure.

Not my style, but +1 for going out of the box and taking it to the next level.
