    Why not and xb12r?
    Because one day you might look at it and wish it was an xb12s. Or something similar. Something more archaic and less "plastic".
    I think the S models are easier to customize.
    Much easier to change tail sections and headlights on the XBS models than it is on the XBR models.

    I guess this only matters if you're not wired quite right and can't keep things stock.

    Putting an S Tail on an R gets you the best of both worlds.

    Love my Techspecs....no issues with them moving around, and they make a world of difference for gripping the bike effectively.

    I love mine. Kinda of stumbled upon it and then waited for the price to become fair. Mine's an '04 and the previous owner took very good care of it. I haven't done a thing besides swap the rear master cylinder thanks to a forum member selling me one incredibly cheap. This place is great and everyone is very helpful. The plus is people do notice your bike is different. The down side is they then want to talk to you and if you're not in the mood to be social your screwed. I've had a lot of fun with mine. I keep trying to talk myself into selling it cause I have too many bikes, but I always talk myself out of it.

    No such thing as too many bikes.

    I'm on my second season with HammerGrips and they're holding to the heat just fine. Been doing tons of track days and a handful of all day street rides in 90+ degree heat.
