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:

The throttle side is giving me problems. When I tighten down the mirror the throttle wont twist smoothly or close for that matter. So I might have to go back to stock mirrors or get some kind of extention for the inside.

It looks like we all get the same factory grips! I have the same ones on my 10.
