'Street fighter' mode

[Big Dave]

Went down to Auckland engineers supplies and got some rubber grommets to fit in the windscreen holes and removed the hand guards.
I like the motard-ish look. I also like the bike better without the screen - i'll stick it back on for a tour maybe, but round town I much prefer sans.

Got a nice shot out in Woodhill forest after an editorial meeting at KR this afternoon too.

Dig this bike!

I believe they are $140 as a Buell spare part. Call Wellington Motorcycles.

[Big Dave]

They list the grille thing as a spare part for the other XB models too.

[ducatilover]

hmmmmm tempting http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...n-41342740.htm bit weird looking though

[Sniper]

Very nice BD, thats a look that inspires us all.

Thats kinda what Ive been looking for but not suitable as they are foglights? I could be wrong.
Ive been talking to WMC and I can get the bulb/lenses out of a firebolt (XB9R/12R) for $85 a unit.
Sorry BD, thread hijack.
Bikes looks great dude. I like that look.

sorry BD for jacking the thread

anyway... they come as Halogen Low beam / Halogen Fog lamp / HID Highbeams. I suppose you can get 2 x low beam units and angle one higher and just wire it for high beam operation.

I am going to be getting 2 of them soon.
