I just picked up a 2007 XB12Scg in cherry bomb red and I'm loving it. However, I've been thinking about modifying it's looks a little. Somewhere, on this forum or another, I saw some pics of a cool XB12S with red and blue translucid parts and red or blue wheels...sort of a red, white, and blue theme. I've looked through all of the picture archives on here back to around 2005 and I've tried keyword searches and still haven't found the pics again. Can anyone here point me in the right direction or post the pics? I'd appreciate it. |

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/470485.html?1245885610 I think there was another thread too. Someone asked about photoshopping something onto their bike. Someone posted a pic of their bike cause they actually did it already. |

Very nice bike! Thanks for the link! This actually wasn't the bike, but is still very helpful. Does anyone have any pics of an XB12S with the clear blue wheels and translucid red airbox cover and windscreen? |

I have never seen it in that combo, but I am sure it is nice. I can throw it together in photoshop worst came to worse. |

If you could, that would be awesome. I have absolute no photoshop skills...I don't even have photoshop. |

As of current I owe a beer to my photoshop program (Froggy) if I ever meet |

Well, with some photos I've found and the creative use of MS-Paint, I was able to make up a few. I'd like to also have some with a white Firebolt tail, but alas, the photos I've found of similar views of a Firebolt are a different size, so cutting and pasting won't work. Any how, here are a few combos I put together. Which one do y'all think looks the best?

I've added some pics of the same view of a Firebolt, so if someone with photoshop skills could reduce the size and add a white and/or black Firebolt tail to some of these pics and post them, that would be awesome. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/mpolans/whit ebolt03.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/mpolans/blac kbolt03.jpg |

Don't like mixing and matching wheels(front and back). Blue airbox with red wheels looks best i think. Im telling you I did see one with some white on it recently though! |

Yes there was some white at one point Sorry for not getting them 'shopped, been busy at work, no real downtime to cut everything up. Seems like 9 threads have cropped up in the last week asking for stuff. |

Froggy - I am sure(maybe not) you posted once before with better pics! Maybe something about a factory race color scheme?!?! |

I doubt it, I didn't take many photos with the STT plates. All are in here: http://froggypwns.com/images/LightningLong/ |

I like #5, the mismatched wheels look cool IMO. |

Okay, here are a couple more with white and black firebolt tails. What do y'all think? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/mpolans/cust om07.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/mpolans/cust om08.jpg |

What would #7 look like with a red screen and silver wheels? |

I think I'm going to go with Option 1 or Option 7. Anyone have any hero blue plastics (preferably without the tank guard) they want to trade for cherry bomb red plastics in great condition? |

i'm partial to 6 or 8. i like the red / white / blue of #7 but the white is just a little too "bright" for the rest of the bike. it's a bit jarring, visually. maybe get an off-white or add a tint of gray? |

i'd say 7, but add the white chin fairing to match the tail. Too much black/monochromatic darkness as it is... course i am partial to white
