Author Message   Fireballsocal Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 02:13 pm:        Can an XB12R firebolt be ordered with the cityx black rims? Seems easier than powder coating if it can be done.   Daves Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 02:14 pm:        No they can't. Buell does not offer wheel options from the factory. Sorry. Dave   Odie Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 02:27 pm:        I tried that when I bought my 12. I wanted the silver 900 wheels but it was a no-go. That's why I'm powdercoating mine Mirror Black after Christmas...Odie   Aldaytona Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 02:52 pm:        Ah, but you can purchase them from your local Buell dealer (or not so local dealer, right Daves)?   Odie Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 03:18 pm:        Much, much cheaper to powdercoat them. Unless you want to have two sets of wheels then you could buy more plastic and have a few different bikes depending on your mood at the time....Odie   Fireballsocal Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 03:55 pm:        Thanks guys. Powder coating is indeed the way I'll go then. We have some great coaters out here.   Timbo Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 05:43 pm:        Fireballsocal, Got any powdercoaters you would recommend? I'm in So Cal too and will be looking to have some done soon. Timbo   Fireballsocal Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 08:10 pm:        Timbo, where are you? My coater is great, mostly because it's free. Give me an idea of where you are and I'll find out if there is a shop close by. I know alot of people that have stuff powder coated all over so cal so someone will know of a good shop.   Typeone Posted on Saturday, November 27, 2004 - 08:41 pm:        I wanted to do this too, only with a 12S. I've been dreaming of an all black 12 and come to find out I would have to purchase the villain black wheels separately then go sell the gold wheels on eBay or something. hmm, customize, right. Grrrr. It's getting too hard to get clearance on the '...but I can just sell the old ones on eBay' to the wifey, damn these motorcycle addictions!   Timbo Posted on Sunday, November 28, 2004 - 12:02 am:        Fireball, I'm in Lakewood/Long Beach.   Fireballsocal Posted on Sunday, November 28, 2004 - 12:12 am:        Working on it Timbo. Should have a contact # for you by tomorrow.   Fireballsocal Posted on Sunday, November 28, 2004 - 01:02 pm:        http://www.driveonline.com/pisano/pisano.html These guys are in Long Beach. I should have another contact or two for you later on.   Timbo Posted on Monday, November 29, 2004 - 09:11 pm:        Cool. Thanks.   Trevxb12 Posted on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 - 05:07 pm:        i purchased a 12r in feb., made a deal with the dealer. i wanted the 9r wheels. the owner of the store traded mine for his. maybe you could come upon the same kind of deal. good luck!! trev   Daves Posted on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 - 05:26 pm:        If you could get a non-Cali bike I'd work something out with you.   Stealthxb Posted on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 - 05:32 pm:        Thanks to Stone Mountain HD/BUELL I got the Stardust Silver wheels at delivery on my XB12S last spring. Too bad the Villian Blacks were not out yet!
