Could've... But my engine is damn near brand new (~3k miles), along with most other parts on the bike, and as a whole, is almost exactly the way I want it.
"Almost" because I still want to swap the taillight and get CF headlight bezels.
It's just the gold wheels and windscreen that make it ugly.... Swap the windscreen for a Kick Ash one like I have and the wheels for a Piranha Black set and you're good.
It's still got red and gold shit on the plastics :lol: but I suppose if you really like the bike you could change the plastics too and have about 10k in it like someone I know did with an xb9 :lol:
You do know decals are able to be replaced, right? A certain someone with a 10k 9R did that a year ago... :lol: They still make all of the decals/emblems for the XB's, so you could swap all of those gold things off for black ones and have a similar look to the 07 9R
^ Notice the Ash windscreen and black wheels like I said before :lol:
