So I painted it flat black and hand painted the Buell emblem myself to give it that graffiti look. Tank protector is duck tape. I will be working on the frame too and also give it a graffiti theme...

OhioX,
yes, the throttle rocker is a relief for long trips! I have been using it in all my bikes since it first came out some time in 2000-2001 I believe.

Thanks all for the kind compliments on the bike! I will be working on putting some serious graffiti on the frame now I ordered some graffiti paint markers but am contemplating having them done in decals. What to do what to do?

Glitch,

I should have consulted you before painting the tank (well, looks like a tank) cover! Did you design that graffiti buell emblem? Awesome man!

I like the color. Do you want to sell your saddle bags?

Hi Jreinke, no, I will keep the saddlebags as I do take it to work at least 3 times a week and the saddle bag does hold my lap change of shoes and clothes etc....It is a Gortech saddle bag and man looks so good on the XB. I do not think they were that expensive so check it out....
