Another New Bueller

[JoeSchmoe]

Hey, Joe here.

Bought an 07' XB12R (Blk & Red). I've put about 1000 miles on it so far and love the hell out of it. The previous owner did the ecm, air filter and the Jardine, and a brand new set of Diablo's. I took off the belt guards and passenger pegs and relocated the plate and installed light n bolts for the plate mounts. Tonight the RT-1 repack kit comes and I will repack it. The rivets just started comming loose so the timing is perfect with that. Now all I have to do is build confidence in the corners. This thing is a keeper!!

Thanks to everyone who shares info here on the board.

Welcome Joe allot of good people here sounds like your off to a good start!! I would definetly suggest checking some of our sponsor's out ----------> XBLights and 50Dro are some of the best things you will buy for your bike Integrated tail light and axel sliders are great protction!!! Ask questions round here and you will get allot of help!!!! Beautiful bike!!! I am changing mine over to the same color combo!!

Beautiful XB12R! I am going to put that color combination ony my 1125R somewhat soon. Welcome to the family, and Congrats on the purchase!

Thanks for the kind words.

I repacked the RT-1 at work today, it had 15,000 miles on it and was pretty blown out. I bought the repack kit from ASB. Like a dummy I didn't take any pic's during the steps but it went smooth. Looking forward to hearing it tonight, it was getting pretty loud.
I paid $5k for the bike with 14k mi. It came with a set of pit bull stands and he threw in a $400 Alpinestar leather jacket for $100. Oh, and he just had the 14k mi service done. So I feel like I got a pretty good deal.
