Spidey, Evidently the engineer didn't want your nuts rubbing on his tank. What's with the blue tape? |

"i checked out a couple of signature series 25th anniversary sweethearts yesterday and boy were they pretty" I sit on my 03 everyday, its just as pretty(if not better) as an 08, matter of fact, it looks just like an 08. I'm waiting until '10's roll into dealers, I do believe we'll be seeing new NEW bikes. I'm thinking of buying the 25th Anniversary insert badge and adding it mine. I recall seeing it and the part # in the 08 Parts Manual. |

I cant wait to see the blue Uly. I might tell the boss (wife) I need one. I might even consider buying some black wheels and painting my orange plastics blue. The white Firebolt looks really sharp too. |

What's with the blue tape? Ball protection Actually it had his name written on it and was to protect it from buckles... |

Okay Spidey, enough about the new stuff, spill the beans on the white tuber frame in the background. I'm fairly certain you didn't sign any non-disclosure about the 'tuber back there. |

Well, as an XB9SX owner I really don't care for the blue wheels. I think it looks better with black. The dark see through blue with black wheels gives it the cool dark look that I like. Looks even better at night. |

"spill the beans on the white tuber frame in the background" Looks like a tail of an XLCR is in there also. |
