Hi All,

I bought a 2006 Kick Ash colored CityX in July and love it! Now I find that I have the urge to change the look a little just to kind of give it my own style (or lack there of ) I love the way it looks so I don't want to change it too much, just a little splash of something. Any suggestions?

Go check out some of the sponsors of this site, like Hillbilly. There are lots of cool accessories out there. Also there is a neat thread on "show your custom Buell", or something like that, where you can see what others have done. I have a CityX, and I love it also!

I've looked at those and been bowled over. I like getting ideas from whoever has them. And I knew the Badwebbers always have great ones.

Nice!! I guess I should mention I don't want to void the warranty. I don't want to HAVE to fix it if I can avoid it.

I like my HID, which is both functional and visually interesting.

You could paint up the outside of the inner airbox as well, some cool things there.

I love my 9sx, and don't meddle much with the functional bits. It works perfectly.

Hey Terry! How is the cityx treating you? Hopefully it was a fun summer/fall.

As per things to add, a lot of guys really like the select seat. It adds some pretty cool looks and a nice gel pad underneath you. My favorite part is that you don't slide around on it as much as the CityX seat.

Other than that, some popular options are fork/swingarm sliders, different grips (Buell traction), maybe changing out your exhaust/intake.

I can help you out with anything you want, and give the 10% discount for BadWebber's (thanks for buying the bike here too!).

I'll buy your outer airbox cover if you are looking to swap it out for something else.

I did the HID upgrade as well. Best money spent. You might also look at different mirrors. The lollypops are ok, but something different could be better.

I have the Rizoma 851's and love them. They came from another badwebber who had a CityX.

DarkHorse moto has come very well made sliders. Black would look awesome.

Cheese Grater eliminators are also very popular.

My take on it was to categorize my customizations according to what was most important to me since available disposable income is finite.
1. Safety - Better tires, steering dampener, better brakes, etc.
2. Performance - Race kit, airbox conversion, etc.
3. Comfort - Seat, bars, pegs, etc.
4. Cosmetics - Chopped tail, Uly windscreen, paint, sprocket cover, etc.

Safety was most important to me, so I started there. Then I moved on to performance, and so on. Several grand later, now I'm just getting started on cosmetics. Our bikes are a work in progress. Have fun with it and make it yours. I'm getting to the point where I really like what I've done with my bike so far, but there's always more I want to do.

Hey Josh,

Good to hear from you! Had a GREAT summer and fall...um...autumn better not say the F-word to loud, motorcycle gods might not like it. I've even done a little Winter riding, when there wasn't ice on the ground. I love the CityX and I hope The Self Man told you how much I dig it. Just looking for some ideas to make a little different. I have been super happy with it all around and anytime people ask the questions like "What is THAT?" I try to send some business your way. I'm hoping to get down your way this year. Thank you again for all of your help! And if I need to purchase anything you will be my first call!

too short for the ULY, so the CityX is my work Mule. I make it dirt, tour, and sport bike. It does them all well and puts a grin on every time. : D Nice choice welcome to the family. Mine was originally Hero Blue, changed to Valencia orange and added the Uly front set.

Yeah a friend of mine has a Uly and I'm so short I can't get the silly thing off of the kickstand. The first time I saw a pic of your bike I wasn't sure what it was. I think I should have but it was a late night. I am partial to my Kick Ash body work but a color change is an idea. I could alway call Josh_Cox.

Um..well..because I never thought about that. Of course paying it off would make it "mine" as well i suppose.

Here is mine. Chopped tail(home made), cross roads 0 degree bars, third eye bar end mirrors. Special ops pipe, race ecm, and K&N filter.
I am waiting on a select seat to arrive.
Started out Hero blue, but I traded for the black plastics.

My cityx
