Author Message   Demarsico Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 - 09:56 am:        looking for a tail chop for a 09 city x. with the cut out for license plate light, and holes for stock signals   Andymnelson Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 - 10:57 am:        http://www.diesel-moto.com/newproducts/xb/buell-xb s-fender-eliminator.html   Demarsico Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 - 07:10 pm:        thanks. i saw that, i was just seeing if anyone was selling a used one before i spend on a new on.   Andymnelson Posted on Thursday, June 24, 2010 - 09:14 pm:        Used ones sell for almost that much. Before those guys came around, you had to pay like $300 for one....which is why I point to it. IMO, I'd rather spend $20-50 more for a new than a used one. Either way, good luck with your search!   Demarsico Posted on Friday, June 25, 2010 - 07:34 am:        thanks, ill keep it in mind. its just hard to believe that some of my inline 4 buddies can get one for like 60 bucks. but thats the price for being unique.   Froggy Posted on Friday, June 25, 2010 - 08:14 am:        Yep its a volume issue. Honda sells more bikes in a day than Buell did in 27 years. Not hard to figure out which one will have a bunch of Chinese companies making cheap goodies. Even the mass produced Jardine one for the 1125's is a hundred bucks and looks like ass, and you could make one yourself in about 5 minutes with some scrap aluminum for that bike. The XB-S tail unfortunately is a bit more complex.   2008xb12scg Posted on Monday, June 28, 2010 - 07:46 pm:        other option is to do it yourself. It cuts pretty easy with a dremel. there's some really good how to threads on here.   Boliver Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 07:01 am:        Damrisco quote:thanks, ill keep it in mind. its just hard to believe that some of my inline 4 buddies can get one for like 60 bucks. I believe most of the in line 4 Jap bikes you are referring to have a similar tail like the 1125's do.Have you noticed the 1125 tail tidy is only around $60.00? So basically those guys are paying for a modified tag bracket.On a lighting you are getting a new fender that has been cut exact and usually has a finish on it already.I thought about it for a year or so before I bought my kit.The best part of it is I still have my old fender and can always put it back on.If I were you I'd just save my money and order a kit from americansportbike.com This is only my opinion.I hope it helps.Best of luck!!Btw:your stock tail light lens will work on the new kit.The lens has a void in it where the light shines through you will see when installed.DO NOT order a new lens unless you want to.   Demarsico Posted on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - 10:11 pm:        thanks to all. i think i am going to pull the trigger and get it. i am just one of those guys who procrastinates and hates to spend money. so much i want to do from just looking at pics on this site. if i had no self control the wife would have taken the bank cards away by now
