Next Few Mods.... What should I do??? Want your opinion

[greasyxb9s]

Since I pretty much did everything you could possibly do to a xb mod wise minus major engine work and hopefully some header from dean (waiting till winter) and also gonna get my rims powder coated Orange with new pilot power 3's (also this winter) I'm wondering which direction I should head next.....

Now if you guys know my bike which most of you do I like to tinker I'm on my 4th exhaust system at the moment which is kinda a hawk copy to an extent and it runs and sounds really good.... But I'm still not done with the reverso exhaust I was building.....

Any way the few smaller things I want to so which are small parts but are freakin expensive I can't decide on.....

Diesel Moto Tail Lift (which I'm not exactly sure I even want to do)

Free spirits pulley cover

Free spirits belt tensioner (which honestly looks like a pos from the reviews I've read)

Lsl rear sets or custom make my own kinda copying the eBay sets I got but out of 6061 aluminum with better hardware and pegs

Rear hidden rotor mod which I also think I could make a bracket to do it myself so it would only be the cost of the rotor.....

I'm also thinking about powder coating the swingarm forks and triple trees black to match my seat rails I had done but leaving the frame the factory silver to give it some pop

Anyway what do you guys think.... Help me spend a little of my hard earned cash before the wifey does lmao

Here's a picture of my bike now..... Sorry had to reuse the picture from photo shoot as its the most up to date

why would you need a new rotor if you do the hidden brembo mod?....

also if you just want to "try" a new color out, get it in plastidip, if its not what you want just peel it of....

 

[Negative]

To be honest I would leave the swingarm silver personally.. It blends with the frame and continues the lines to me... But this is purely my opinion... The bike already Looks good!.. Correction: Great!!...

I would do the hidden brake caliper if i could... And I have a free spirits tensioner.... They look nice and it's a very good concept so I can't imagine it not being a positive addition... Also like the idea of the belt cover on your bike...

Just my $0.02... [up]

I guess it really depends on if you just want to alter the appearance of the bike, or actually go faster. In all seriousness, riding gear & advanced rider training are two of the most effective 'mods' you can spend your money on!

Just ride the fucking thing!

I bet one of my stainless shift linkages would look cool on it . Nice look bike by the way.

 

[greasyxb9s]

I do crash I rode 180 miles Sunday after the photo shoot.... Been riding everyday to work as well....

And yes I meant hidden caliper not rotor typo on my part....

As far as gear I don't know what else I would need I have icon airframe helmet icon brawnson jacket dianese drake air pants and speed and Strength boots that's close to $1000 bucks in gear..... As for classes I already took the pa msp course and am waiting on a advanced riders course to come around my area....

 

[50dro]

Free spirits pulley cover

Don't forget ours! It will keep more cash in your pocket for other mods!

 

[nrankin]

[greasyxb9s]

Yes I have 50dro axle sliders and love them but I like the free spirits cover a bit more

This ^^^ is where I'd spend my money Greasy. In preparation for advanced training you'll need one-piece leathers (if it's a track course). Also, if you haven't already invested in getting your suspension dialed in properly (and paying a professional to help you if necessary), that's some of the best money you can spend on your bike.

Another highly advisable upgrade I didnt see on your list is an EBR pre-programmed ECM, or at least reflash your stock maps.

I know these suggestions aren't blingy, but they'll pay bigger dividends than any amount of paint, stickers, or bolt-on farkles. Again, it all depends on what you're looking for: parking lot gawkers or speed!

We can get those through TM if that's the direction you go. Let me know...

 

[greasyxb9s]

Not interested in racing or really going faster bikes fast enough.... I'm lookin to make my bike one of a kind that's what I'm after..... One piece leathers aren't worth it in my opinion..... Not for street

As far as tune I do my own stuff with ecmspy and megalog viewer..... For free bikes already done

Anything 5-0dro makes is top notch and very well made.
I just recently bought the pulley cover, XB engine sliders
and rear & front axle sliders.

Everything went on the bike smoothly, the feel and look is solid,
and the customer service & communication is the best I've ever
encountered. Also, you can't beat the price for this kind of quality!

*The pulley cover is beautiful, pictures don't do it justice, really.

 

[davidwick]

you have one of the coolest bikes I have seen I have an 03 xb9 and the cosmetic mod I would like to have most is some bad ass looking handlebars I love the crossroads bars but they surely arent cheap. great bike already I cant wait to see what you do with it

 

[d_adams]

I'd try scoring a ZTL2 caliper and a better master cylinder to go with it. After that, the 1190 slotted rotor w/hardware and a good set of pads, I use the 2015 compound ones. If you do go that route, make sure to use some high end brake fluid, Motul RBF600 or 660 would be my choices. I run the 600 personally, but only because the 660 wasn't anywhere online when I bought the fluid.

Always make sure you can "whoa" before you go.

 

[Got jack 7]

Powder coat the engine cradle orange.

 

[greasyxb9s]

I do have the updated hardware kit on the front rotor but kept the stock rotor cause it was fine
