Found these pics on the Warr's H-D/B site. This is a Warr's prepared custom XB12S, they call it the "Raging Buell". It has a few interesting bits that may be one-off parts I have never seen the likes of before. Heres the pics. The seat is the first thing I noticed, although I can't tell if its a full length seat or if it has a cowl on it. The riders sitting area looks to be covered in black suede. Hmmm, a REALLY good idea for a non slip seating area. Like a racing steering wheel. I wil assume since the passenger pegs are retained, its still a dual custom saddle, covered with a painted leather to look like a cowl. Right side air scoop and incorporated frame sliders. Left side frame slider attached to the engine mounts? Any one seen these particular bits before? I contacted Warr's through their site but haven't received a reply yet. |

Looks like it has many Rizoma parts. Front pulley cover, rear pulley, turn signals, rear sets maybe more tough to pick everything out with small pictures. (Message edited by 2K3LIGHTNING on June 25, 2008) |

I dont think I have seen the steering stabilizer mounted like that either... Interesting thing to note is the rear tail section.. its missing the splash guard \ license plate holder. I was under the impression it was illegal for a dealer to sell a bike w/o that part. |

What I don't get is why spend all that time blacking the thing out and have that Rizoma front pulley cover in the original finish???? It just doesn't look good. I'm wondering how he got the sliders on the front forks black though?????? |

This bike is from WARR'S H-D/B IN LONDON ENGLAND. It has a license plate holder, its visible in the side pic hanging off the tail section at the very rear, right where it should be. License plate display laws are probably different in th UK anyway. I'm also interested in what the yellow cylindrical thing is under the tail? Hmmmm, NOS, I suspect. |

I'd be interested in the damper mounting. I'm not into the harpoon/jousting look of most of the dampers. You'd think that with ALL that work that they'd remove the warning stickers. They removed all the reflectors. |

You'd think that as much as that Rizoma belt guard costs that they could at least mount the plastic cover so that the words are up right. Friggin' Italians. What's the red item below the voltage regulator? Anyone notice the brake lever and reservoir? Nice. |

Almost looks like a motorcycle tax disc holder. |

Pretty fancy bit for that. I'm used to seeing the caviar can. |
