Can you post some more pictures of your bike? We have some of the same mods and I really like your seat and wheels. Thanks and ride safe.

I've no recent pics as I've been doing some more mods lately.
But here's some old ones to show you the seat etc.

Can you detail your mods? Our bikes are close.....2003 Yellow XB9S, race kit, etc. I really like the wheels and seat. Did you do them yourself or farm it out? Thanks. You won't see me coming at you as I'm in the US. Ride safe and really nice bike. Thanks again.

WOW your bike is bad ass!! How did you get the frame and swing arm polished? And where did you buy those LSL protectors up by the head pipe? Sweetest looking Buell I've seen so far.

I'd like to get the LSL protectors also. Looks like the placement of the protectors are asymetrical.

Damn your bike really stands out.

Thanks Norrie. Beautiful bike! We have some of the same mods, but you've done a few more. I really like the wheels and seat. Can I bother you to post one more pic after you paint the air scoops. Thanks. I've been thinking of some of the same mods and you're bike is a good model. We have the same model and color too. Ride safe.

Thanks for the comments.
I had all the polishing done professionally.
I did the last bike I owned my self and it is so much work.
As for keeping it clean it's very easy.
As long as it's polished well it is as easy to keep clean as a painted finish.
As long as you don't use it when there's salt on the roads.
As for who makes the seat I'm not sure as I bought it off E-Bay.
I hated the original seat as I used to slide around on it.
This seat is leather and the grip is much better.
It also seems more comfortable.
I imagine if you spoke to a seat upholsterer they would be able to recover you own seat to look the same.
It came from Germany so I think it's from a German manufacturer.

Norrie.
