I'm just curious what the benefits of the headlight grill are. Is it mostly looks?

Thanks,
Nick

It's real handy for cooking small meals while camping.

Nick:

You are too new here to remember but the day Buell rolled out the CityX with it's grill . . . . I stood on Madison Avenue here in NYC and took about 24 photos and posted them of all the cars, Range Rovers, trucks, Highlanders, whatever . . with grills.

Apparently the world is a lot rougher place than I ever imagined.

: )

How do you like your Buell?

I love my bike. I first test road a Buell at an AMA Superbike weekend.....and I was hooked. I have no complaints at all. It's an awesome machine.

Headlight grills came stock on XB9s. 9's take them off too look like an XB12. I have a grill on my XB12 to get a tough look. Grillz on the other hand is a piece of jewelry worn the teeth.

No, the XB9S was out of production when the grill came out. The grill was only stock on the XB9SX, XB12X, XB12STT, and XB12XP.

It protects your headlights from low-flying pelicans!

Best part is when someone was driving by and had their camera phone recording your wreck and there was no pelican to be found : )


Ironic thing is, the guy owns a body shop that specialized in wrecked exotic cars.

Hey Lancruza,
I am in a hurry to disappoint you... If I was you I would keep my money.

You have to find another way "that helps you get laid" : )

I use my grill to set my helmet on if the grounds dirty when I'm getting under the seat. I just bought a Shoei X12 and have been saving for it for half a year (was planning on buying an Arai Corsair V until the X12 came out) So I'm not going to set an 800$ helmet on the dirty pavement which is where my grill comes in. Anyone reckon if Eddies Gold Teeth could make 22k grills for Buells?

It's like fake boobs, they not necessarily perform better, they just better. Personally I see no use for the grill, unless you go dirt riding and would like to protect your cover from been hit by branches.
