Thank you. Slowly building it up I guess. :confused:
Three owner 2003 XB9S. Adult owned and ridden very few miles per year over my 11 years of ownership. This bike has been an ongoing project with lots of tasteful little upgrades, including a radial...
Did this work well? I have had a mechanic replace the seals (head down) and still have oil seeping from the top of the front push rod cover. Thinking maybe the plastic is slightly warped/worn so...

Dude, no offense, but Erik Buell and the engineers at BMC are better at heat transfer than you. They specifically designed that piece so the two cylinders would run close to the same temp. ...
Welcome. You should definitely plan on taking an MSF Beginning Rider Course.
Los Angeles, CA.
El Segundo, to be precise...where Fife left his cash and his jimmy hats.

I know, but I just like to try buying things used first.
Looking for a Jardine QMI. Maybe you bought one with your muffler and like it loud. I have a new neighborhood that is quieter and my bike must conform.
I do want it. atbabc, how can I pay you? If you click *edited out*, you can get my email address. Hope that is bot-proof. And, hope to hear from you soon.
EDITED: BTW, my name is Beau.

**Double post**
Whoa. Didn't read the date on the first post.... Umm...nevermind. You probably already bought an exhaust. And you've been here longer than me. Mmkay.
First, welcome.
Second, I bought my bike w/ a Jardine and I want to change it. From everything I've read on this and other forums, the Jardine takes away your low- and mid-range torque. Those...
MSF definitely provides a motorcycle and helmet. I highly recommend it. At least in California, the MSF course counts for you DMV on-the-bike test. You just get a certificate in the mail about 10...
And, BTW, cool. I just ordered a set of ProTaper Contours in the Woods Lo bend, brushed aluminum finish. I'm pretty excited about getting a little lower and more forward.
Yes. Drill. I smashed the nipple on my left-hand controls and it was terrible having my turn indicator switch in a different place every time I reached for it. The switch pod will rotate unless,...
atbabc,
Please let me know what you are asking for the Select. How many miles/months are on it? Thank you.
Yes. My 2003 XB9S.
Looking for a used Select or Streetfighter seat. Anyone?
badbandit12,
Can you pls post a couple more photos from different angles of your bike with the Aprilia mirrors? I'm deciding btwn cheaping out and getting those, and blowing a bunch of dough on...
njsxb9,
From the Driven Racing webpage, it looks like the 7/8" CR Low bars are 800mm wide (~31.5"), with a rise of 70mm. Are those the correct dimensions? Above, LeFox recommended a rise of...
A couple of questions:
1. How much are the Driven Racing bars (I have a 2003 XB9S)?
2. Do they have the little hole for the knob that keeps the headlight switch housing from moving around?
My bike came with a new set of front pads, which I recently put on. Inside the box was this little o-ring:

Most likely, Suzuki SV (1000 made naked?) or a Monster (800 S2R?).
Superdukes are bad, too....
Motoguzzi Griso 1100 is sweet, but a little too cruiser-ish.
Maybe a Triumph Street Triple or a...
Stylie, if you're worried about your a/f ratio being affected, don't be. Everytime you ride your bike for a few minutes at easy load (flat ground, 2000-4000rpm steady) the ECU is in its closed-loop...
