New to Forum, Finally got me an xb9s! [Pics]

[kc24v]

I traded my 1999 harley-davidson xl1200c with 25k miles to a guy on craigslist for his 2003 xb9s with 28k miles.
Seemed like a dead even trade. I graduated high school in 2003 and was looking at Buell bikes for work and school
but couldn't afford one. Years later got on a used Vstar650 and then eventually the Sportster 1200. I loved that HD but
it was kinda tiring to ride in the twisty canyon which I ride almost daily to get to work. I'm so psyched to finally have a
Lightning in such great condition. He had his shop do an axle to axle maintenance including a complete rebuild. Brand
new tires, clutch, belt, fluids, fork seals. I really scored, especially since it cost me nothing but a title transfer out of pocket. At
first it seemed too good to be true, but then I met him, he's an older gent who says he made the mistake of buying
a young man's bike. He was looking for his first harley. I was happy to oblige. Here are some pics of the Harley and
my xb9s. The freshly powder-coated rims look so good! All I need are some bar-end mirrors in a matching red. I'm
so lucky and so happy. Thanks for taking a look!

Nice looking bike and good luck with your purchase. Welcome to the forum.

Welcome kc24y.
You lucked out, with a young man's bike that received old man's money and attention to detail.

Hello mate! It sounds like true love to me! lol Good buy of a really nice bike well done!

[Clanofwolves]

Very nice XB; the rims do give the bike a great road stance; sweet!

You said it. I forgot to mention the aftermarket exhaust that sounds pretty meaty. Maybe not as slick as a Jardine or as deep as a Hawk exhaust, but good enough to leave it as is.

Congrats on the trade. I am purchasing an 09 xb12s and a HD sportster from my brother. The Buell is less than 5,000 miles while the sportster has some miles on it.
Probably will clean up the sportster and sale, keeping the Buell.
