There is this one from ASB, but truthfully its even worse than the one you pictured. Is that a crossroads unit? I dont understand whats with the chrome/polished pieces for these bikes. They arent Harleys & dont need to be dressed up in 50lbs of chrome doodads. |

I think Trojan Horse makes a carbon fiber replacement. DAVES should be able to hook you up 1-800-342-7539 ext 14 dave@iowaharley.com rdcapt@hotmail.com |

The carbon fiber guard looks really good. So does the machined. I posted a couple pictures of the machined guard in our sponsor area. If you need more info or other shots let me know. Craig Buell Cycle Center Waterloo, Iowa |

The matt aluminum one from Trojan Horse looks much better than the polished one. It matches the frame better. IMO, of course. -Geof |

Yep. And its true too. Instead of working on wringing more hp out of the bikes..like Aaron is attempting, you have these companies making up chrome covers & heel guards. Instead of developing a kickass ram air induction setup, they give you a chrome oil dipstick cap. Instead of developing a better & more reliable set of roller rockers & rocker arms, they give you tiny ass saddlebags that wont hold a sandwich. These companies think Buells are nothing more than small Harleys & they are dead wrong on that acct. |

They haven't come out with axle covers yet! You knew that was coming didn't you Dyna? Ride to the edge! Dave |

Got the guard on, and it does look gooood! 'Course now it's screaming for a cool pulley cap of some sort. The only one I've seen so far is a Crossroads piece SportTwin has: Must look into that. Projects, projects. Too cool. -Geof |

Has anyone thought about or removed the rear upper and lower belt covers/guards on their XB ? That belt looks pretty awesome but is totally covered up by cheap black plastic. |

Resurrecting the dead... How in god's name do you get the upper belt guard off? I can't get to the hex bolt that's sort of behind the rear brake lines, where they bolt to the frame. I also can't take the brake lines off, because the bolts go in from the inside?! |

Drummer used to sell these. Don't know if they do anymore. This one is actually black with silver vinyl overlay that I cut. I would put it on and take a pic but I need hardware for it. Spacers and bolts an such. Anyone know sizes, lengths ect...?

I know this is a really dumb question and I am sorry, but is this to cut weight? or just for looks? or both? |
