My 06 XB9sx rejuvenation w/ pics

[BitchinXb]

So I ordered a new tall windscreen, adjustable levers, bar end mirros, aluminum grips, seat, clear airbox cover, knight design 2 inch drop footpegs, front brakes and frame paint, because I decided to do a make over on Thor. I taped off the whole bike, and prepped it for paint. The fluid silver spray paint went on flawlessly and I was very impressed! Next, I removed all my plastics, and refinished them with a bumper coating and they look better than new. Put it all back together and was pleased with the end results.

Wow! Bumper coating really gave you that good of a shine? Impressive. Thor is certainly looking good

Well the shine you see is immediately after painting, but it does dull a tad when it dries. Its not too shiny but not dull, its a perfect balance

what did it look like before?

 

[BitchinXb]

@ jakestolar, It wasn't bad at all actually, I'm just OCD. It had a couple drips of brake fluid on the frame, and some wear marks on the swing arm, and it bugged the shit out of me. So I decided to go all out.

Bitchin, where did you get the fluid silver spray paint? ASB? Looks great[up]

 

[BitchinXb]

Actually, I ordered it from ASB originally , but they said it's on back order, so I canceled and called about 8 different harley/buell dealers all over the US until I found one in pennsylvania who had it on their shelf.

I need to clean them though, but when they're clean, they look great
