Okay....don't start flaming me until I get a couple of answers to my questions.

This is the easy question:
1) Will the XBScg seat fit on a CityX? My wife is very interested in the bike. However, she needs at least 2-3" of extra clearance (she's 5'5" ).

2) Does anyone think Buell will release other colors of the translucent bodywork in the future? She really wants the bike in pink. I can see that it would appeal to the female buyer to have the CityX in pink. It might even look kinda cool to boot (remember, wife's bike : D)

Okay...now back you're regularly scheduled board.

I don't know how well Plexiglas would hold up on one of the bikes, but I can easily see someone setting up a mold and start vacuum-forming a bunch of transparent colors. Not sure what the price/point decision is on these, but I can also see Buell easily begin to sell transparent/translucent bodywork in a variety of colors (assuming past attempts at custom color buyer's choice attempts from the past doesn't kill the possibility). But then I could also be totally wrong.

As always, set her down on one to test fit the bike and go from there.

Translucent red comes to mind as a more marketable color, and on thought, would be darned appealing.

Clear, dual-layered, water-filled with glitter inside for a snow globe airbox!

I have to admit I have considered placing a string of led's around the base of the airbox cover, but then I remember that I AM 40 something.

I like the trans black idea. If I ever get a City I would pull the blue stuff and replace it with regular black anyway. The black idea is sick!

Gscheutte... get the translucid blue stuff, and put a good coat of black paint on the *inside* of the plastic.

I expect the result would be fantastic. Think black with 1/4 *inch* of blue clearcoat, a deep liquid black with blue highlights.

Silver would be cool as well.

The flyscreen can't be that expensive, get one and play with it.

Reepi, I'm following your City transformation/growth closely, so please keep us up to date. I may be *forced* to add one to the family in the near future.

A smoked, much like a tinted window, black would be totally sick.

The City Cross (XB9SX)has a higher seat height, and stiffer suspension, not at all lower.
You must be thinking of the XB12SCG.

Then why bring it up?
This thread is about the XB9SX.
And yes I read it just fine, that's why my post was very clear on what bike was what.

I second Reepicheep's idea of painting the inside of the plastic black. I was at the dealer today, eyeing up a xb9sx of my own and my idea was to paint the inside white. Black would be better though.

Yep...was thinking about the Scg seat on the SX. I think that would give her enough height clearance to feel comfortable. Now I just need to get her into the Riders Edge course next spring. There may be a new Buell in the garage by the end of next summer: D Of course, we'd have to keep the stock seat so I could get around on it also; )
