My 03' XB9S

[tf1182]

Here's my XB9S, what do you guys think? See anything specific you think I should add to my baby?

So far this is what I have on it...

Micron Exhaust
Tangerine Candy Paint-Job
Cat eyes
K&N Filter with Remapped ECM
H.I.D. Low-Beams
Cross Roads Zero Degree Bars
Fender Eliminator
I just bought new pegs, and I'm thinking about wrapping the headers, painting some plastics and maybe some other things.

Let me know what you guys think

Sweet color... clean bike

I wrapped my headers and I am now regretting it... I would ceramic coat them if I had it to do again. More expensive but worth it. The wrap fades and painting them is a PITA and if the wrap shifts around you'll see the faded unpainted "stripes".

You have a nice clean look going I would seer clear of wrap... just my opinion

Great looking Buell!

I really like how the tail section is matched to body colour. Clean and simple that's how I like it anyway. Personally I wouldn't really change much with the looks of the bike, painting odd plastic pieces in my opinion kind of ruins the look of the bike. For example painting the heel guard body colour would make it really stand out, where in my opinion should really blend with the rest of the bike... Sometimes less is more. As for the header, I think you should leave it bare.. It looks too nice to cover up...

One idea I guess this is depending on if you 2 up ride or not ... removing the rear passenger pegs and adding a colour matching solo seat cover would in my opinion look great...

anyhow Good Luck!!

Welcome to the forum. Very nice and original bike.

+1 on keeping the micron headers as is or ceramic coating. Also might also look at this: Hidden Rear Brembo Bracket. Either way, congrats on the bike.

I would do the sprocket and belt upgrade, a little pricey but worth it in the end when you dont have to keep buying belts.

- suspension upgrade
- belt & rear sprocket upgrade
- belt tensioner upgrade
- brake & clutch lever upgrade
- front sprocketcover upgrade
- removal of passenger pegs & brackets
- ceramic coating of headers (see pic below)
- i would look for a nicer fit of the front lights (more into the fairing)

 

[meetch]

that coating does look real nice.. [up]

 

[tf1182]

How much does it cost to coat my headers?

 

[LeFox]

don't know what the cost is over at your neck of the woods, but mine were 90$

looks awesome... how do u like the rear rails painted color!? this is the first time i've seen it done... honestly earlier today i was think'n about doing it to mine... just not enough color towards the back of the lightnings

 

[chase12s]

Don't do anything to it sir. Its perfect just like it is. Take it out and ride it, enjoy it!

nice vents, didn't happen to get that idea from one if my posts a little over a year ago did ya?

Notice any differences, other than it looks sweet?
