Default Buell Mods...

I added a few pieces to the XBike.


Dark Horse Moto axle sliders. Made in the USA. Keith is a great guy to deal with too. Front and rear sliders. Look great and add solid protection. Highly reccomended to anyone who owns a Buell motorcycle.

Front:


Rear:


Full bike shot:




Also threw on a set of Buell Traction grips. They are raised a bit in the center and are a bit more comfortable than the standard grips. I've heard good things about them from just about everyone who has them. And they are cheap...so no harm no foul if they suck.

New on left...old on right:


Old:


New:

Hopefully I never have to use them.

Other mods I want to do: Gold Pazzo levers, Carbon Fiber headlight bezels, and Carbon Fiber front pulley cover.



Also...White's HD/Buell called yesterday...my new headlights are IN!

The mods look great...I don't know what it is fall weather, moon phase, but I was looking at the XB12R today and wishing. I would love to grab one up before the 1125Rs replace them all together.

I think I really would enjoy owning one.
