so on my XB9S i hate the mirrors and turn signals... so i want to get something that is fairly cheap but still looks good. Any suggestions? | ||

Alex, For the mirrors, I really like the look of Bar End style mirrors. They are nice because you can actually see directly behind you. The cheap route would be going to your BICYCLE shop and getting a set of the 3rd Eye Bar end mirrors (plastic housing and glass mirror). They run about $15 bucks a piece and they might have to order them for you if they don't stock them. However, if you have the cash, I would splurge and buy the CRG bar end mirrors that are billet aluminum. You can see them on bevelheaven.com. About $120 for the pair including the bar end adapter you will need. As for the turn signals, I have been to other sportbike shops that commonly stock lots of aftermarket turn signals that are fairly cheap. I think Lockhart Phillips makes some decent looking signals for $30-$50 bucks. | ||

I second on the CRG mirrors. However I also got the flex mount on both sides, so moving it in and out of tight spots is not so bad. American Sport Bike can hook you up. Just remember you will have to replace the turn signal flasher also if you go to low voltage LED type signals or the flasher will not work. Again American Sport Bike can square you away. You can see an example in my profile if you like. Good Luck. | ||

Vv, have you seen the new heel guards and tailpiece offered by Buell? They match your Voltage bodywork! HellBuelly J | ||

a bike shop should have some catalogs to go thru for signals. I just put on some 'lockhart philips'for the cyclone , they were 27 bucks for one set. | ||

don't know Drake...the tail is a little much for me, plus I got a really nice unit from Odie...but the foot guards...hummm what did they go for did you notice? | ||
| Dtx |
Foot guards are yours for just $39.95 for Rider and $35.95 for passenger. (But you don't have passenger pegs). I think the rider guards would look sweet on your bike. | ||

hummm we have to not show this post to my wife...as I'm getting to like the foot guards perhaps too much......but knowing my dealer...They will never come in, or get ordered wrong. oops, did I say that! | ||

Mail order them from Daves in Appleton and have him ship them to your work. Thats what I do and she never finds out... "Drake, honey...why is your bike suddenly louder?" says my wife (after delivery of my D&D from Daves). "Thats just the way these bikes are..." I reply!  Daves will get you 10% off and get your order right, too. | ||

yeah yeah, that could work... | ||

saw what I guess were the prototypes of the foot guards outside of the factory around 9 months ago. They do look good in person too. | ||
