Thread: 2003 xb9r mods

  1. #1
    I just acquired a 2003 white xb9r and I am looking to do some mods to it. tag eliminator, exhaust, head lights and blinkers, side view mirrors (fold backs with blinker inside them) to get rid of the smoked out blinkers on it now. I would appreciate some suggestions on where I can find them and what I should do cosmetically. I would greatly appreciate it. Considering I am new to the buell game I use to own an 05 R6 and 07 GSXR 750 and I absolutely love this bike and plan on making it into a show bike over time. Also I would like to find out where/how to get a right side scoop for better motor cooling. And something to add horses to it overall.

    ^^^ The right side scoop can be found there ... Ebay has some decent cosmetic upgrades come up pretty often that you can toss on it (shorty levers, smoked taillight units, different blinkers, etc) ...

    I myself also have an 07 R6s (basically the same bike as yours minus a few odds and ends) and an 06 Gixxer 600 ! ... looks like we've had similar tastes along the way lol ...

    I have the rare ermax tail if your interested. Fairly expensive. But you probably won't see another

    Hella lights are your best bet to upgrade to. Are you looking to go with LED turn signals or halogen bulbs, lots of choices out there either way you go. Mirrors with built in turn signals instead of traditional ones, maybe try moto-science.com. They have stock XB R and 1125 mirrors, and many others as well with built in turn signals.

    Speaking of mirrors... I have an 2003 xb9 also and would like to remove the stock mirrors. What do you plug the holes with? Just use a Button Head Cap Screw? What is the thread? M10x1.25 or 3/8-24 ?

    Pretty much. The fairing stay isn't threaded, I used SS button heads and Nyloc nuts w/ SS washers. You could reuse the nuts/washers from the mirror I suppose and save a couple bucks.
