So I recently bought a 2005 xb9sx with ~7k miles on it and it ran beautifully. Last week, changed the engine/primary oil for the first time and rode it about 25 miles after without issues. I went...

Great deal on a gorgeous bike; GLWS.

I'm based in Cleveland/Cincinnati 50/50 about. Pretty sure there's another Cleveland guy too (ronmetzler?).

With the prices these days, I would just keep looking rather than take a chance on this one - unless you can get it for super cheap (~1k).

Great work. She looks like a real sweetheart.

Cool. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Wow, that rattle can paint job on the frame looks pretty good. Might try it myself at some point.

Haha...

So when I want to brake do I squeeze the left or right? I'm so confused!!

Was referring more to MacBuell. If an internet forum post pisses you off, you need to relax.

Doesn't bother me - I took the rest of the mirror out later in the day. What's the point of the forum if not to ask questions about these bikes? To ridicule Harley guys and people who don't know...

I didn't get much road time with the mickey mouse ears. I've only had the bike for a couple weeks. I have the oberons flipped under now - if I try to look in them while riding, my arm is directly in...

Oberons came today. Installed them and they look great. Aside from not being able to see **** out of them while riding, they're perfect! ;o)

Yup. If it came down to it I wouldn't shoot someone who was just stealing my bike... but they don't need to know that. ;)

Thanks for the tool tips snrusnak - I'm doing pretty much what you suggested. Buying craftsman stuff as I need it. Since they have a lifetime warranty I figure it's worth the extra cash.

That...

It's all about deterrence.

If someone wants it bad enough, the bike will be stolen. You just gotta get something that will be enough of a deterrent based upon where you keep your bike and what kind of neighborhood you live in....

Hey Red93stang, as we discussed via pm, I'd like to officially put myself down for a blank (no pegasus) hero blue one next time you make a batch if possible.

Cool, thanks snrusnak. Bought some allen wrenches today and now have an excuse to go buy some pliers. :D

Now I just have to figure out what the hell to do with those two posts...

Success! I had to end up using two adjustable wrenches to get them off.

Yup. My plan was to buy the tools as I need them. I bought a torq set when I had to take the chin fairing off and I bought this wrench set when I wanted to take the rabbit ears off... I went and...

Rabbit ears... hahah, I'll go give it another shot... worst case I'll just buy an adjustable... maybe should have just done that in the first place.

So I want to take off my stock lightning mirrors 'cuz I have oberon bar-ends on the way so... I rode up to the hardware store, bought this decent set of craftsman wrenches... of course the biggest...
