This site has proved to be a valuable resource while shopping, and will become even more important to me as I rack up the miles. Good to be a Bueller!

Initial mods are;
Headlight modulator
Brake light flasher
Bar end mirrors

sss


Like this?



Nothing to it really.

make sure that the image is not too large, and that it is less than 100kb.

In the case of this image, it would not post, so I saved it as a lower quality .jpg to reduce the file size, not the dimensions.

Real sweet bike, by the way.

Of course you want to ditch the orange reflectors on the front forks, (they just peel off, a hair dryer helps), chop the tail, and replace the stock blinkers.

But then, you don't have to worry about painting a whole lot of stuff black, do you?

Very nice.

That will be my next bike as well - all black.

Love that look.

SWEET! Ss is the way to go, and yes, I'm totally biased.

I envy your updated suspension! I've heard great things about it.

That's where the beauty in the eye of the beholder comes in! See I dig the bigger one, reminds me of my Cyclone. Will the bigger one fit on the Scg?

All hail the only black 09 XB's in existence!!!

I wanted a black Ss when I was looking last Aug, but the dealer couldn't find one, couldn't get one, didn't even know that black was an option, and of course had a red one in stock.

Guess what I ended up with?

Great looking bikes!

I hope to have a new 2009 XB12Ss as well soon : ). Red or blue however...

And I agree I like the Scg's hugger but hell, I think my R6 looks better then some buells, but I have learned looks are important but the ride is what counts when your on the thing.

Looks like you forgot to tell us about the satellite dish mod. How did you attach that exactly ?
(look closely - just above the speedometer)

Millerwb, is that a 69 Camaro behind the Buell in your pic?
What's the car in the other bay? Looks kinda like a Ford, but I can't tell for sure.

Those Dark Horse sliders look nice, very clean...

Think I will have to get some of those when I get the buell!

I know the buells crash better then most bikes and I never thought I'd crash my R6 but I was rear-ended last month and without the sliders front and rear I may have had a bigger mess then I did... Of course he would've had to pay for the mess either way so who cares : p

But still, if I ever were to drop it etc... those would definetly help.

AHHHHHH.........Black forks - sweet indeed!
You need to blackout the satellite dish to complete the LOOK!

Man the 09's are such sweet looking bikes.

Why did it take buell 6 years to realize this is how the xb line should come?
