Well here is what I want to do to my bike before and after using photoshop. Any thoughts or suggestions?

you could post this in your other new topic...;)

but what i would do is:
* other turnlights
* removal upper beltguard
* removal front reflectors
* upper part of taillightframe in silver (keep lower part, extention of undertray, black)
* if not used, removal of passenger pegs & brackets

that's what I said in his other post (read it before this one). Great minds think alike;)

Am I the only person in love with the hero blue airbox + wheels :X?

Edit: fixxxxxxed

No. My wife would consider the Kick Ash, only the Hero Blue. She loved the blue wheels of 08 but was more willing to take the discount of leftover 07. I absolutey love the 08 Firebolt in white w/Hero Blue.

What do you guys think of this for an XB12Ss:

Hero Blue setup [wheels, air box, windscreen]
Everything thats paint-able / coat-able in matt black.

Btw, would I be able to remove the X off the air box?

I like it, I would have considered if there wasn't already a Hero Blue CityX in the garage. I don't want to have matching bikes.

Btw, would I be able to remove the X off the air box?

Yes it has been done but some sanding/polishing may be necessary to remove adhesive residue. Plus I've seen people pay $50 or more for just the X as it's not available from a dealer.

:D, I'll have pictures up when I get the bike in October !
Thats if they don't have some awesome new color choice, which I highly doubt they will.

I'll keep you guys informed about any info about the '09 models.

Hey Adrian i love the photoshop work you did on your bike. I tried doing that to mine as well but obviously i am not that advanced in photoshop. Anyways was wondering if you could give me advice on how to get a gloss finish on the tank. I want to change all the flat black plastics to a glossy black. Here is what i did...
