well, some of you may have seen my last XB12s at the home coming, but due to recent events ie: my friend totaling it out! I've begun a new project let me know what you think so far, I'm painting it this weekend.      I jacked the sub frame up a few inches and lowered the bike about 2 inches so it should have a little different stace when its done.  | ||

Your getting me confused, in some pics you have a black swing arm and it's back Grey again. Other then that good job. Why did you choose to go with the R this time instead of the S? | ||

What's on the seat in the first pic? looks like one of those plastic pinch-snap things for a tank bag... dude, looks like you're doing some nice paintwork with the black parts. looking forward to seeing it done... no friends joyrides this time, eh? (Message edited by chasten on April 16, 2009) | ||

I was debating on suing the silver or black swing arm, I powdercoated one and left one stock, I think I'm going with the black one it'll work with the paint scheme better. And yes the snaps are for a tank bag that came with the bike. | ||

how did you lower the bike 2 inches? i saw that you are using the yellow shocks in the rear from a low xb, are the forks from a low one too? anything else you have done? the reason why i'm curious is my wife wants fairings on her next bike but tiptoes on a firebolt. | ||

yeah, i personally like the black PC swingarm... i'm interested to see the finished package, but already i think the black goes better with that fly carbon muffler. seems like you've got a fair selection of parts around the garage... what happened to the polished one? | ||
| Rieguy187 |
yeah the bike got the low suspension front and rear and the low kick stand as well. As for the pipe it was sold on ebay but the buyer hasn't paid yet so we'll se how that goes? I startd the paint last night it's going to be sick, hope to finish it up this weekend, still waiting on some other parts. all my other bike I usually use a 60% gloss on the black powder coat but this time I went with a high gloss so it should really shine in the sun. | ||

"seems like you've got a fair selection of parts around the garage..."  That's like the cleanest, emptiest garage I've seen! What garage are you looking at? | ||
| Chasten |
hey Andy... i was just saying that he was swapping around complete suspensions, had multiple swingarms, and Jardine mufflers... seems like a decent inventory. not commenting on the cleanliness of the garage, which is pretty nice. Ryan... are you doing anything with the frame, or leaving it silver? PS: i really like the way the Lightning in your profile turned out. is that the one that got wrecked for you? | ||

Looks good Ryan. I'll have to stop by see it. Been busy with a SV 650. Mine is going to be done soon.  | ||

Uh-oh, you have the dread assault rifle silhouettes on the airbox cover. Probably on a list already. | ||
| Rieguy187 |
the supermoto is a 08 wr250X it's my stunt bike. and the guns are very suddle you can only see them in the sun on the tank  | ||
| Js_buell |
Nice, I'll get myself an other SM bike soon but that one will be track only. | ||
| Augustus74 |
No hand grenade decals? (not sure what they stand for anyhow?)  | ||
| Juniorkirk |
That is one sexy buell.......im jealous now | ||
| Fastxb12r |
Rieguy187 The bike looks amazing its one of if not the best looking buell xb's ive ever seen.Its right there on the edge without going over the top and being to flashy you do one hell of a good job. I also have a question that 08 wr250X looks just like the one off of super bikes.Where jason britton visited a parts maker is that you on the show or your bike? | ||
| Rieguy187 |
no that wasn't me it was Ryan Moore, he is a really great guy, he has made quite a few one off parts for me. And the gernade logos are for gernade clothing its a snow board clothing company, no me to promote them unless they want to sponser me. | ||

I know his name would have been 50stunt but you never know. It just look weird that he would have been owning the wr250 since he is always on a crf450 from what I know. | ||
