SuperiorMCSupply.com started out as an old school parts resource out of a garage. At first, we focused on cycle parts of extreme vintage during the height of the internet boom. As the Internet became more of a “key player” to shopping and researching, SuperiorMCSupply.com grew out of its garage shop and into a warehouse. At SuperiorMCSupply.com, we specialize in Old School Harleys. We have parts that can be used from the earliest bikes of the 1920’s to the bikes of today.

Great day working on the 2005 XB9SX. Changed the oil and filter, transmission fluid and installed new cover gaskets, adjusted the clutch, cleaned and re-oiled the K&N, cleaned the throttle body, and pulled the spark plugs (just to check to see how they were doing). Only problem was I picked up a nail in my rear tire on my last ride that I just noticed. Tire is now completely flat. Oh well, time for new wheel bearings, idler pulley bearings, and tires (just bought the new Dunlop Q3's). Almost ready for spring!!
 
Today I completed the XB9 primary gearing swap.

Overall, it was pretty easy with the right tools. Need a BIG torque wrench to hit 250 ft-lb! I borrowed one...

As an added bonus, you get to save 1 pound going to the smaller pulley! LOL
 
to this day, the brembo ones are the best ones I've tried so far, this is my second pair, I've been from ferodo to ebc, etc, but the brembo surprised me, positively, lets hope this ones do the same
 
Just did my 10,000 service including new Pirelli Diablos and EBC HH pads. All fluids, adjustments(including primary chain and clutch, etc). Also some LSL foot pegs from EBR. Took her out today(thi9s is Florida) and she shined! Also sanded and polished the fuel cap. These bikes are ALL female and they love attention.
 
I rode my girl friends 2009 XB here in VA on Tuesday at 9 degrees, very cold wind chill at interstate speed around -20. I do wear heated gear but the cold finds its way in.
 
Dont you love how the top of your legs freeze just above your knees and even after you take a hot shower for 45min they are still cold to the touch!:D
 
Ordered fork rebuild supplies from ASB. This upcoming Friday I should be rebuilding them, putting on my new muffler (from 5-0dro), taking off the rear wheel to get my new tire put on, changing the oil, and possibly other minor things.

Stripped to old paint and rust off the can and put on a few coats of VHT primer and paint. Looks better than it ever has before, still need to clean up and polish the tip.

Next up is painting the freshly chopped tail, and seat rails. Going with a gloss black, hoping it turns out as good as I think it will. Pics to come once it is all done.
