Hey everyone. Just signed up here. I have a 2005 XB12R. I've had it almost a year now. Love this bike. Just basic mods: Drummer exhaust, frame pucks, Dark Horse Moto sliders, bar end mirrors, smoked double bubble screen, K & N air filter, Lyndall gold pads, CF chin fairing, traction grips, gold Buell levers.

I wish they did. I've been thinking about carbon fiber heel guards too.

How do you HDR photos?

a series of photos are combined digitally, each photo being taken at a different light exposure level.

Interesting, so take multiple pictures in different exposures and then layer them?

yep- thats the short answer. if done right, it can produce a really great effect.

Thanks guys. Yep, the first pic is HDR. I'm more a fan of super realistic than cartoonish HDR.

No idea, actually, previous owner gave it to me. It has broken tabs on the back mounts. I just zip tied them till I can figure something else out.
