    XB 9 Pulls to the left

    easy check first is your tyres. wear and pressure. wear and pressure will affect your bike handling. then yes, start looking deeper to whell bearings and suspension mounts. has it been crashed? i always recommend that when someone test rides a bike that they let go of the bars and hover...

    Xb9r lowering

    man... adjusting the spring is not lowering the bike it is changing the suspension setting and the geometry. this needs to be set to suit your lady's weight etc first and foremost. my lady is 5'2" and she rides a lightning. why? cause its the only real bike that you can find that is small and...

    Tire 240mm ....

    what i notice is that i use the entire rear and really wear the front more, so she definately does push a little but i reckon the short wheel base and good dynamics compliments the conversion well. i treat oompah the same as i did before but smile more when i round up others after they question...

    Tire 240mm ....

    mate... interesting! looks good too. well done. have you taken it out yet? any rubbing? i am so wondering why i have this rubbing. it couldnt just be cause i did it on a 09 model where as others are the older swing arm. i would think other than the swing arm that the geometry would be the same...

    Tire 240mm ....

    woohooo... mate i ride mine almost everyday now when at work, instead of my company car. just too much fun. i was looking at mine today and i am thinking that i may put some spacers behind the rear sprocket, and shave a few more mm from the inside of hte swingarm. it would clear then, but its...

    Tire 240mm ....

    well today was interesting. while doing some panel swaps on oompah, i thought i would do a quick chain check. lucky!. one of hte links had broken on the inside and the outside was about to go as well. i reckon the next ride it would have gone for sure. unlike a belt there would be some damage...

    that is something to see. it makes you realise that throttle control is everything.

    Tire 240mm ....

    it will be interesting to see your set up then. i asked that exact same questions. and got the same answers only to find that none was true. i was told all cleared, then found that i needed to file a bit from the swing arm to make the bolts fit. then i saw this updated on the web. then i...

    bwb crash

    and that is the risk with this sort of riding on these sorts of roads.,, he puckered while setting up and lost the front. and thats what happened. he is real fortunate to not take out the other guy too. if they all accept that risk that they can injure or be injured then woohoooo, but usually...

    Translucent Airbox/windscreen (CLEAR)

    i cant see the point in the front fender being clear. the reason it came black to start with on the translucent models is because of all the road grime on the underside. the same for the chin spolier. you would be taking it apart to clean every weekend! i like hte idea of firebolt headlight...

    Tire 240mm ....

    i have had to try and create a spacer to go behind the front sprocket, but it still wasnt enough and i can go no further as i loose bite on securing the nut. yeah they were helpful. the needed to also learn a little more as i think they also get bits from grandstand designs. i am not certain...

    Translucent Airbox/windscreen (CLEAR)

    interested.... i think too there will be a call for all colours as HD will stop supply of new ones. as for the cracking. that is already an easy fit. use hte right fitment! the screws with spacers means no pressure on the plastic. i have never had a translucent crack since using hte correct...
