I've had this XB9S for about 2 months now. I have done a few things to it (mainly mechanical) and now I finally installed my favorite plastics which are Hero Blue from the XB9SX and the headlight grill. I also installed the right hand side air scoop. Next is the fender delete from Diesel Moto (arrives tomorrow) and smaller and nicer looking turn signals which arrive Friday. Then I think I will remove the belt cover and the passenger pegs. Just sharing, so far loving this little bike! I will most more pictures as I do more stuff to it. Next I would like to do some bar end mirror but I would like to keep the hand guards, any suggestions?

That sure is one pretty looking bike mate i like it! I am almost certain i have seen a bike with bar ends and the guards together which doesnt help you much but i think it can be done, someone will let you know on here i reckon or google it maybe?
My fender delete and my new turn signals are in! I should have them both installed by Sunday night once I have some time to work on the bike! Can't wait!
Looks great!
My '03 xb9sl started here:
Went here:
and is now here:
I want to swap out the front wheel, but I'm having the ZTL2 upgrade done at the same time, so I'm going to take it to the shop. I don't trust myself on brakes).
HamNeggs, if you mean my changing, I just like changing it up every once in a while. I went with cherry bomb for a year, and just finished up changing to hero blue. I'll run it like this for a year, and then I'll swap over to Valencia Orange (or white - not sure yet which).
Thats a really neat set up you have there i like it!! You should run the leaf blower down the air scoop that would keep the rear cylinder cool then patent it! it could catch on! ha ha ha
