Glade21's XB9RS - My First Bike

[Supermanrider]

How is the drop pegs with the Firebolt bars? I rode a Firebolt and it was hard on my wrists compared to my Lightning. Just thought the drop pegs might take some of that pressure off

I have the drop pegs on my and i really didnt notice any difference on my wrist but more with my legs, since you are still sitting on the seat at about the same angle it just relaxes your legs a bit

The pegs were on there when I got it, and the whole bike is very comfortable, except for longer rided my throttle hand goes numb, don't know if it's because of the bars or what but it sucks lol.

Really nice bike. I like the second pic best.

 

[Glade21]

Thanks man, I really like that pic too.

Just got the oil and primary changed, tightened up the chain, and ready to go for a ride. I decided to wait to do the belt swap till this winter when I have the bike torn apart for powdercoat. I also ordered a 2010 right side scoop and scg front fork springs so I just need to come up with something for the rear and I will be set.

You've convinced me, I started browsing ebay for the parts to put a firebolt fairing on my 9s. The fairing, fairing stay, headlights, and windscreen are all I technically need, right?

 

[Glade21]

Yeah man, at first I wanted to do a full lightning conversion, but with the tail, it grew on me and I love the combo. I think thats all you would need, and also the wiring harness I would imagine, since the ecu is in the front.

 

[Glade21]

BTW this winter I might try an trade for a CR and do the lightning tail or a full custom tail with the bolt front end and either custom scoops or the full fairing as the elephant ears don't rock my boat.
