Author Message   Werewulf Posted on Sunday, March 09, 2008 - 10:07 pm:        i probably have too much time on my hands... i just bought a 03 xb 9r... it needs to be taken appart and detailed... so now i can play with some of the parts and see what will interchange with my tube bikes... this will be a good time to due some powder coating too...   Werewulf Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 09:30 am:        but then i was thinking... the xb is in ok shape, not great shape (rear swing arm has some scuffs).... i could part it out and put the xb front end on my m-2... or maybe do like jodie and put the front and rear wheels on my M-2....or i could just ride the thing! what do you think?   Jos51700 Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 10:44 am:        Ride it.   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 11:20 am:        +1 - ride it. They really are lightyears ahead of our tubers for handling and refinement...the only reason I don't own one yet is because I'm 6'4" with 34" inseam and 37" arms. They're....compact. But we do have a recent trade, an '03 XB9R with race kit....it's calling me. I just need to teach it to call my wife   Torquemonster Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 12:54 pm:        ride it and sell me the M2   Werewulf Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 08:30 pm:        today i went riding and the xb sure is powerful for a smaller motor... maybe i should sell the m-2 and put a big bore in the xb... but darn, the m-2 has less than 2 thousand miles and is a puff....   Fasted Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 08:49 pm:        apples and oranges..... each is different..both have + & - about them. be glad you can have a pair....wish i could if you want a project, cut up the xb. we all know tubers are like, sacred, man.....   Eengler2 Posted on Monday, March 10, 2008 - 10:38 pm:        Had/have both of those except my is a 9s. M2 suspension should not even be in the same discussion with XB. If you can afford both, I would. But if I had to choose one...I did...XB9. Ride it for awhile as is and decide from there.   Torquemonster Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 09:32 am:        You have a PM Werewulf.   Werewulf Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 12:19 pm:        well, i might be persuaded, in light of the fact that i still have a like new S-3.. i just paid 3900 for it a month ago, i wish i hadnt paid the taxes on it...anyone want to make an offer, email me for pics.. truperdave5@yahoo.com   Torquemonster Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 12:21 pm:        mailed you back and passed info onto my father in law. <fingers crossed   Cereal Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 01:22 pm:        I bought an 03 9R as a fixer upper project and was going to flip it to co-worker. He backed out so I started riding it with more frequency. Now I find myself on it ten times more than my S1.
