Did some mods to my bike in the past couple days that I originally planned on doing over the winter. :) The list...

S tail swap
led signals
bar end mirrors
removal of fork reflectors that took a long time! J/K

Still needing to fab a bracket for the rear brake reservoir and get my EP 36 relays. Still have plans for the winter which include HIDs, axle sliders, xbdashboard.com plate, cutting down my extra fairing, re-upholster the seat, and coming up with a paint scheme for my extra plastics. I'm sure I will come up with more. :) Now to give her a bath in the next couple of days! Here are some pics.

Looks good, but IMO you need to wrap or coat the header and powder coat the the tail rails to match the seat or frame. This will make the bike flow much better. Oh and drop the belt guards.[up]
 
Thanks. Yeah that was one of the forgotten "things to do this winter". Definately plan on removing those. May actually go ahead and do that tonight. I have not yet decided on what I want to do with the header. And the tail... may make my mind up better as I decide on my paint scheme. She's a work in progress.
 
Since I am such a post whore and love posting pics of my bike may this be some insperation. I am at the point of deciding whether to put on my wrapped header or get the on the bike coated.

Your pics have been an inspiration already! :) Love the bikes! I had been thinking of doing the lightning tail swap and then I came across pics of your bikes and that pretty well cemented my decision. Love the lady pics too! Of course. :D

good work ono xb and cheers for hte pics.

how did you go fitting everything under hte S tail?

anything i gotta look out for?

did the lock etc all work ok?

i am about to attempt the same.

cheers
 
It was all quite easy. Took a couple hours. Everything works fine. The lock is no issue. Had to relocate the rear brake reservoir. Not really any modification needed. I'll take some pics to show some of the key things. Pretty straight forward though. Good luck
