Any suggestions on what i can do to modify this bike to more of a streetfighter look on a poor-man's budget?http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/2598_20081003060405_L.jpg

Any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated! peace.

put the S front on it maybe, and I know there is a streetfighter tail available but I don`t know who make it.

I see people wanting to swap XBs for XBr tails and fairings all the time. If not on this forum, then perhaps a lesser one;). Post up that you want to swap, or look for someone elses post and you might get a hit. If its an even swap, that would be very easy on the wallet.[up]

look at the Member's Buell Pics at the page displaying pics 861 to 880 and there is an example of a streetfighter there.

Cheap--
Get rid of the passenger pegs
Wrap the headers
Renove or vent your front pulley cover

All cheap or free mods[up]

Remove belt guard...Also, what year is that? Have you seen firechicken's cold air intake mod? if yours is 05 or older then you could try that...

i have not seen it. where would i find it? sounds interesting. since i posted, i wrapped the exhaust, sawed off the license plate bracket and remounted the plate underneath the fender, removed the passenger pegs and i'm doin a little painting, hopefully today.

pretty close! wrap $37, stainles ties(4) $9, and black silicone spray $7. havent invested in paint yet but that'll have to happen when sunnier weather rolls through again. excellent advice i've gotten since i've been here. muchos gracias!
