I've been snoopin around since before the fire sale and I can't find one.
My question is- can I put the various parts from my '06 X on a 2010 XT and get the exact same thing?
The differences may be something I could live with. Plus, I would have a perfectly good '06 XT parked right beside it.

Any thoughts?

I guess you could. The only thing a "real" 2010 XT would have that you wouldn't would be the larger diameter forks and offset triple clamps. I think you could buy those parts new for less than $1k if you wanted to go all the way.

Oh yea, the XT won't have the beefier wheels of the X model, but you do not want to swap your 2006 rear wheel onto a 2010 bike. The 2010 rear wheel may be its biggest improvement. You could use your 2006 front wheel and buy a 2010 rear X wheel and axle for about $350 (IF you can still get the parts).

So swap the shock, kik stand, front end including wheel, buy a 2010 rear wheel and I'm done right?

The only other thing I can think of is the headlight grill (not used on the XT).

Well there is that plus my pipe, lightbar, underseat trouble light, handlebar bag and tinted windshield but those go without saying.
When I'm done I could sell the '06XT and whatever loss I take on it plus the cost of the rear wheel would be the total cost of a 2010X (kinda).

This is very interesting to me!

Underseat trouble light?

Like if you pop the seat off, a dome light comes on?

No. Actually its much better.
Its one of those lights that chevy trucks used to have under the hood near the battery. It has a switch, a 15' retractable cord, a suction cup and a hook as I recall. Its base is attached to the pan next to my tool roll.
Great little item for camping.

No.
Well I mean you could if I didn't have to use some photo site to link my pics to in order to post on up on here. Maybe I could email you a pic?
