I was dinking around in photoshop today, instead of studying for my stats exam that's tomorrow, and I put together what my dream Buell will look like. Its based of my XB9sx- with a tube headlight, complete naked front, trimmed tail and LED brake/turnlight, lowered seat to fit lines of bike, and crossroads bars. There are some color changes I might make (like cherrybomb wheels/red lettering and of course exhaust) but this is the jist of it..anyone else has a mock up of their bikes cosmetic goal? What does your dream Xb (within affordable limits) produce?  | ||

I'm thinking on painting it this winter, but I'm pretty close to having what I see as my perfect XB. Specs are in my profile:  100rwhp, 86ftlbs of torque on the dyno. After this pic I swapped suspension out for scg suspension parts, and I want to convert to ZTL2 front brakes and a thumb operated rear brake, but other than that and maybe a few more motor mods I'm there! I wonder if Bud or one of the other guys up there could get me a couple of the Hal's-PA fairing decals that face the correct way to replace the ones I'll have to remove to paint it......Unless Hal's is tired of the free advertising that is  | ||

DiabloBrian: Where did you pick up the plastic? I see that Adrenalin-Moto has them, but they wont ship it to the US? | ||

this one, minus the editing of course!!! lol  or this one, the bike is pretty cool!  sorry for the thread redirect!! it's my nature. | ||
| Bads1 |
That ok Sleez... more chick's with Buell's are cool. | ||

I like your photoshop; however, to balance things out, perhaps you could use a larger headlight assembly, maybe some sort of angular fairing with triple or twin projectors. Maybe even a VRod headlight. That would look awesome! hmmmm... | ||

dream xb:  | ||

I'd have to concede that Leeroy's bike is the coolest XB Lightning ever. That gas mask is freakin' WILD!!! I'm considering a similar makeover for my F-bolt, but with an XLCR fairing and XR-750 tailsection. | ||
| Marshj |
I agree- typeone's bike is my absolute favorite XB: much of the inspiration for that photochop came from his bike, absolutely love it | ||

Is there a free "photo shop" out there i can download? The Gimp is THE best photo manipulation software you can get for free. It's also better than most commercial photo manipulation software. | ||
| Jake99buell |
I feel dumb but what exactly do i download? | ||
| Glitch |
Don't feel dumb. http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ Is the home page. http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html Is the download page. You need "The GIMP for Windows (version 2.2.17)" | ||

After I add the 1125R fairing... My Ulybolt is my dream XB    | ||
| Diablobrian |
Halspa.com has the fairings. Be sure to order the mount kit too if you are ordering the bodywork. It is made by skarkskinz, but only available through Hal's in the US. | ||

No_Rice: Nice shot of you cornering on your XB! The foliage behind you, almost makes it look like you started a fire exiting that corner LOL! Neil S. | ||

well the poor little 9 did make an impression at the track. there were more than a couple people that commented that they were having a hard time with the fact they were getting out pulled by a 9, even in the straights(well up to the rev limiter atleast lol) needless to say i was very proud of my first track day weekend. (i guess it helps that the consensus is that im nuts anyway though!) (Message edited by no_rice on October 12, 2007) | ||

Actually, it seems that Barker has already built my dream XB. DAMN that's a wicked bike | ||

My dream XB would be: My '07 XB9R with a solid dealer network that has techs that know and care about the Buell line, a parts department that does not take 10-12 days to get me a new rear tire (2nd time in 2 months....waiting on #2) and a dealer sales force that knows more about the bike than I do. Or better yet a street XBRR w/all of the above. Love Buells, am constantly amazed at the after sales experience. And not in a positive way. | ||

My Dream XB.... I have them both!! LOL 98 S1W (ok, so it's a tuber)in pearl white with a minkuni carb and Vance & Hines exhaust, and an 08 Firebolt in Artic white soon to have an open airbox and a drummer or spec ops pipe.  |
