    My XB12SR Lightningbolt is mostly done, just trim pieces to do. Posting this for my bro to show him what happened to his Lightning tail.. bike started as the black and amber 2004 with EBR race ECM and Jardine exhaust.

    I prefer the term Firing, FIREbolt - front, LightnING - rear. :p

    S tail, pegs and CG suspension

    looks good! They feel NICE don't they? As flickable as the Lightning but stable like a R.. cant describe it. Kind feels like my buddies new Honda 650F actually... but shorter in the wheelbase.

    Thanks man, Im proud of it.. I wish I could post a photo but I never figured out how to it after all these years.

    oh by the way.. carbon is next.. and cosmetic touch ups here and there. nothing flashy, all low-key and understated. Im trying to let the quality of the XB components speak for themselves. Its gonna have dual carbon scoops at least but the nose and the chin are gonna stay stock black..

    I am a lot happier with the handling and how it feels as a Lightningbolt than I did as a R... ALOT HAPPIER with it. Ill be doing a lot more time on it now.
