Just bought an '03 xb9r

[matt415]

Hello all. I just bought an '03 XB9R and I'm loving it. It's my first bike, I just got my license over the summer.

Quick question - Does anyone have a picture of a hero blue XB9R with the matching wheels? I want to do some upgrades over the winter and new wheels is definitely a possibility.

Also, what do you guys do for loading and transporting your bikes in the back of a pick-up truck? I am looking for some decent ramps and a good wheel chock set-up for the bed...

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide

I just used a ramp and a ditch, rolled it in. Used some decent ratchet straps going from the exposed part of the handlebars forward to the 2 anchor points in the floor of my truck and tightened until the shocks were compressed about 1/2"-1"; Used 2 on each side of the passenger brackets to the middle 2 bed rail holes. Shut the tailgate and was done. Hauled it like this from West Virginia to Central KY with no problems.
