I've always admired the look (they used to offer it in fiberglass...?). ~SM   Froggy Posted on Friday, August 08, 2008 - 07:19 pm:        I can't even tell what the hell that is. IF it is what i think it is, it goes over the frame, so no, because the XB9's have a different frame. If you want carbon, get it from Buell, American Sport Bike, or Trojan. You won't be dissipointed as it isn't cheap shit like the stuff in the link.   Swordsman Posted on Saturday, August 09, 2008 - 11:34 pm:        LOL, it's an air scoop. Hangs in the same place the stock one does, and relocates the oil cooler. I'm just not sure if the Ss's and the R's share the same scoop bolt pattern. ~SM   Froggy Posted on Saturday, August 09, 2008 - 11:36 pm:        If you want scoops...   Fastxb12r Posted on Saturday, August 09, 2008 - 11:41 pm:        Hell froggy before he does that why not just mount a pooper scooper on the side..all kidding aside I like the one in the link and the ss scoop has the same bolt pattern as the r scoop.   Jaimec Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 04:42 pm:        I need to see a photo of that thing on a bike. I can't make heads or tails out of it from that photo. Looks like an oil cooler in a puddle of dirty oil to me.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 09:43 pm:        Isn't Yoyodyne the company from Buckaroo Banzai?   Jaimec Posted on Sunday, August 10, 2008 - 10:26 pm:        AHA! That's what it is! An Oscillation Overthruster! Yes, I want to know if it'll fit on my Ss too!   Swordsman Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 08:48 pm:        Like so. The scale may be just a bit off, but should be close. I left the original oil cooler in the pic for size comparison. I sticks out a good bit, so I'm guessing it must still clear the forks at full lock. I've seen pics of a bike with it really installed, and thought it looked great. Dunno where I saw it though. ~SM   Froggy Posted on Monday, August 11, 2008 - 09:12 pm:        Ya know, i think thats gonna block airflow at low speeds to the fuel rail.....   Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 08:30 am:        I think I saw that picture once before. Oh yeah! It was in the dictionary next to "Butt Ugly..."   Spiderman Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 09:03 am:        I think I saw that picture once before. Oh yeah! It was in the dictionary next to "Butt Ugly..." WOW all that from a BMW rider   Jaimec Posted on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 - 10:09 am:        No where will you find me saying I think all BMW designs are beautiful. Those GS bikes are pretty fugly too (but then I find all of those big "trailie" bikes ugly... including the Ulysses). Likewise that K1200S naked is pretty damned ugly too. Right up there with the Triumph Speed Triple; they both look like crashed bikes that were patched up and put back on the road.
