Hey everyone. Just signed up here. I have a 2005 XB12R. I've had it almost a year now. Love this bike. Just basic mods: Drummer exhaust, frame pucks, Dark Horse Moto sliders, bar end mirrors, smoked double bubble screen, K & N air filter, Lyndall gold pads, CF chin fairing, traction grips, gold Buell levers.

Welcome to the Forum. Nice looking bike. My 12S has the gold wheels also. If only Buell still offered the gold heel gaurds.

I wish they did. I've been thinking about carbon fiber heel guards too.

nice clean bike. im not too fond of the R model,Xb9s, nbt it looks super-badass in black and gold.

nice bike and photos. did you hdr that first photo?

 

[Buell_Cru]

How do you HDR photos?

 

[BryD959]

a series of photos are combined digitally, each photo being taken at a different light exposure level.

 

[Buell_Cru]

Interesting, so take multiple pictures in different exposures and then layer them?

 

[BryD959]

yep- thats the short answer. if done right, it can produce a really great effect.

Thanks man.

 

[marko138]

Thanks guys. Yep, the first pic is HDR. I'm more a fan of super realistic than cartoonish HDR.

got my carbon heal guards on the way right now. figure they will do til i man up and buy rear sets.

where did you get the chin from?

 

[marko138]

No idea, actually, previous owner gave it to me. It has broken tabs on the back mounts. I just zip tied them till I can figure something else out.
