Well we have a white one now and i do like it. Picked up a black fairing. Another awesome thing is the ability to easily swap colors. I like black but have not seen a black firebolt with the silver frame. All the 12Rs I have seen, have the graphite frame. So I like the black but also tossing around the idea of a flat color. I like that look too. Not black, seen that one done.

Any suggestions?

Is that yours? Nice. I also got black passenger heel gards and want to paint the passenger peg supports black as well. Need em. Looks good, lots of contrast.

That's not mine, just an online search result.
I've got a black 03 XB9S. I've been thinking of going to white body work. I'd consider a trade if want, airbox, f.fender, and lower fairing.

I swapped my blue plastics for black when I came back from Japan, then swapped out the controls, heel guards, pegs for black and added carbon fiber frame protectors and the pucks. Pic's in the profile. I need to update it one of these days.

Ok, my overplan: Get a set of the black wheels with the red pinstripe. throw tires on them and then every time I swap tires swap plastics. Will probably get old but a good idea. : ) So not trading the plastics but is a good idea.

All plastics are off an 03'. Had to modify the airbox cover for the 07' air intake.

Nice bike. That is the idea I was thinking. Basically the 2 bikes posted here. Black w/ silver rims, and the white with the blk rims w/ red pin stripe.

I like the color combo of the white plastics and blue wheels of the '09 1125. Would look great on a Firebolt as well.

Dont the 12R come with hero blue wheels and the 1125R come with diamond blue wheels? They sell the diamond blues though. So you can make it that way too.

If I were to go custom paint, I'd go with N0_Rice's 1125r color. Copperish. I love that look. Put some black rims on and you'd be set.

No_rice, how did u do the flat colors? and where did u get the front pulley guard?

just olive drab green paint.

the sprocket cover is a prototype from drummer that never got put into production that way. to many worries that someone would get a boot lace or something stuck in the pulley. there are only a couple of them around, and even less black anodized ones.

That's a sweet colage ya got there Mr Rice

yes it is pretty cool looking. wonder who webbed that thing together?!
