I'm still looking for a 9s, but wondering how much / where to get new plastics. I'm trying to increase my options in the used market by looking at colors that I don't necessarily like. |

You can find stuff on ebay, or you can dye or get your plastics painted. |

It's only a couple hundred dollars to swap out the plastics [retail / parts price]. Even less via ebay - but check and know the values first lest you overpay in a bidding war. The plastic bits are easy to change too. |

You can always use rit fabric dye to dye you plastic a different color if you don't like the color you have. |

Daves prices & service is great. You couldn't go wrong. He has sent me a fair bit of gear to Australia that even after freight works out way cheaper than the local dealers. Cant wait for the latest delivery to arrive. Cheers Murdoch |

Thanks Dave, thats what I was mainly looking for. As far as dying goes, is it a difficult process? How are the results? Anyone have any pictures? |

Best advice I found in these is to test dye a golf ball to test your intended color. there are pics sprinkled through here of dyed bodywork. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/92460.html http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/93908.html http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/58827.html?1085413369 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=43&post=588474#POST58 8474 http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/89892.html hope this helps |

Dave, How much for the tail section for the R model with the seat cowl? Any price break on buying the whole set? |

Are all the airboxes interchangeable? Can you swap the 9 and the 12 airboxes without major modification? |

The airboxes are identical, with the exception of the 2006 bikes having the air intake at the filler neck. But that makes no difference regarding fitment. |

This is one of the great things about these bikes: you can totally change them up on the cheap! |
