introducing myself and my 09 xb9sx

[el barto]

hi there

just found your forum and thought it wouldn't be bad registering myself in here.

living in switzerland (europe), aged 34, owning my buell since about a year.

when i bought it, it was completely black, which i liked but i like it white. so i did some painting and brushing work and some other mods on airbox, handle bar amm.

it's not finished yet, there's much work to do within the next few months but i'd just like to show you my baby

details of the airbox

hope you like what you got on your eyes

regards

el barto

Nice Buell. Welcome to THE forum.

What kind of HID's are those? 12000k/10000k, 35W/55W?

good work, the bike looks awesome! i would like to see more views of the airbox though, it looks very interesting! welcome to the forum!

looks fantastic. Nice job. Is that a Satin/Flat white paintjob? I always said when i got an XB12S it would be satin white!

welcome to the family, were glad your here...

 

[Pockets]

+1 on the HID's. What color range are they?

Oh, and where did you get that taillight?

 

[el barto]

hi pockets

the HID are Xenon lights, you can get them on ebay.

the headlight itself can be ordered in german shops, but that will not fit on the original back of the bike. this is a whole set, light with back ending for about 400 usd. if you're interested in this just pm me

Nice looking bike ya got there [up]...wish mine was that clean

welcome also good ppl and advice here!!!

 

[Pockets]

el barto- HID (high intensity discharge) is the same as xenon. What we're wondering is what color Kelvin are they. Xenons come in various color ranges like 6000k, 8000k on up to 12000k.

 

[Drkside79]

Very nice!!!

What can do you have on that?

 

[Pockets]

Looks like a Term. Expensive can!

 

[el barto]

the HID is 10000 K, yes.

and i got a termignoni can. shot it on ebay for quite little money. sounds really great. as you probably don't know, we have some hard restrictions in europe concerning the loudness of a can. such as jardine are forbidden here. it has about 105db, only. but this is still to much for the police
