Welcome, great bunch of guys on this forum. Now, lets see some pics of that '09 XB12Scg

 

[XB12ed]

Thanks! Got it at the end of March.

It was raining on and off when the pic was taken.

Here's mine, man the all black look good

 

[steve may]

Great bike XB, are you planing any modifications?

 

[XB12ed]

jsq-the all black looks great!

Steve - the mods so far have been the bar-end mirror, reflector delete, and breather reroute. That is actually a modified stock muffler...not a good mod yet. I was actually at a buddies house to finish up another modified stock muffler (he has a better welder...Miller Syncrowave 180 vs the Maxstar 150 lift arc I have use of).

Funny story about that, took the muffler over in several pieces in a back pack, after welding it back together...couldn't get it back in the back pack.

Will go this weekend in the wifes car to pick up, repaint and install.

edit: btw, I go by Ed

They're standard on all the newer XB's.

XB how did you get the rear signal to stay straight without the reflector? I took all the reflector off but the rear side one since there was that pin that kept the signal from turning.

anyone put the SCG seat/tail section on a xb12ss.. i wanted a SCG but they dont bring them or the S into aus no more.. which sucks for a short ass like me

 

[dave_xb12r]

nitto12ss put a S tail on his Ss, so its possible. The Scg also has shorter suspension.

 

[XB12ed]

jsq - I pulled the turnsignal off the bike, removed the lens, pulled the reflector out, which allows you to rotate the signal stock 180*. This allows the little detent to sit in it's respective hole.

There is only one problem with the aesthetics, the stalk is slightly offset, as pictured below.

Forgive the mess, it was raining on my way home, and the bike got dirty. Also, nobody has noticed, until I point it out.

It is also hard to tell in the photo of my bike, but I shortened the front signal stalks as well. I knew I should have taken pictures of these things as I did them.

Feel free to ask anymore question.
