The XB9 got fresh custom paint!

[nix912001]

Fresh paint and also installed an SS fender eliminator and some extra amber LED strips for signals!

will have pics of the fender elim soon. 12k HIDs and blue LED accent strips, a universal 12v outlet and a phone/GPS mount are on the way and then the bike will be for sale!

Neat paint job.

Careful on mounting blue accent lights, might get pulled over. I'd only have them on for shows.

lol its okay i just enjoy working on anything with a motor and i kinda had to paint it because the paint job was all screwed up when i got it lol heres the fender elim

and as far as the lights they are legal to ride with in my town as long as the lights arent red or amber

How did you wire the turn signals in? Do you have any pics of the installation?

 

[nix912001]

I dont have any pics sorry, theres actually two signals for left and two for right if you look close, but all i did was chop the factory wiring and attach negative to positive on both the small button LEDs and the LED strips, and then i drilled a small hole in the undertail and fed the wires through, only took about 30 minutes. i still need to take the tail back off and tuck the wires for the strips so you cant see them though

Nice job. How did you get the side of the airbox line? I have a set of crashed plastics I've been repairing and had an extremely similar paint idea in mind. I just free handed the sides of my air ox with tape and a razor blade, but its hard to duplicate it exactly on the other side.

As far as making the lines for the paint on the air box...just simply cut a templet to what you like and trace it on both sides.

 

[nix912001]

Ive been a painter in a few body shops so ive gotten pretty good at freehanding two tone lines. I use 1/4 inch fine line tape and free handed the lines and just double checked to make sure they were even on both sides.

easier said than done IMO. The curves make it very difficult to get a good template...tried and wasnt happenin. Im comfortable w. the freehand lines..
