Seeing my bike this dissasembled makes me depressed, except knowing that I have parts on the way to fix everything. That is good.

The reason I have the rear wheel off:

If you can't see well, I had two small rocks embedded in my belt, so I think it was only a matter of time before I had a catastrophe.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Good to hear you got all the parts on the way.
Hope you're still on the up and up.

Yeah that was funny seeing the red text. Nice one.

Just got the stitches out today, feeling better every day.

Thanks for the laugh,

That text is in order, that looks WAY worse than what my knee did : ). Just remember, if you come up with a few extra bolts or nuts and it still runs, you just found a way to make the bike lighter, but dont try doing that, bad things will likely happen eventually.

It just looks so sad...

How did the belt get damaged? Was it before the "incident?"

I'm assuming the belt happened at the same time, since my bike came to rest in a gravel shoulder and I am still finding small rocks everywhere in the bike. No way to be sure though.

About the rocks...I have had 2 wind up in mine. I thought the belt guards were supposed to stop that. NOW IS THE TIME TO CUSTOMIZE!!!! Although it looks like you have already done a LOT of cool mods.

Yeah the only customization is going to be a black primary cover. I really like how the XB9 cover is black. I wonder why it's not offered for the 12?

Perhaps engine cover/primary cover and frame colors could be a option in the future when you're ordering your bike from the dealer.....

Oh yeah I also ordered barends. I don't need to bend another handlebar.

Expect the best but prepare for the worst!

Nice strip down, How are the rear engine mount rubbers?. Mine seem to be going downhill at a fast rate, I am considering nolathane ones to stop the tearing.

Yeah, I figure I would put a seat where the rear hugger goes and really practice wheelies.

Sam, I healed faster than you tho, I just flipped my bike showing off!
