Everyone is too big for an xb :rolf:

The firebolt’s bars make it easier though, being leaned further forward angles my knees further down which makes it more comfortable, and reasonably dignified :lol:

So pretty much your only hope of riding an XB is gonna be a Uly with a Lightning flatscreen, Lightning Long seat and 1125CR bars

 

[94RS]

Son of a bitch... flyscreen ***


This no edit bullshit sucks

 

[R13]

Nah, it doesn’t “fit” per se, but I’m not uncomfortable on a regular xbr

And I refuse to have the lightning tail :lol:

If I had a lightning or a uly I’d probably modify it to accept the firebolt/1125r tail

 

[94RS]

I take it you finally got to sit on a Firebolt?

 

[R13]

Some months back

My phone was dead so I didn’t get pics of it otherwise I would e posted about it obviously :lol:

 

[94RS]

Apparently they weren’t stupid enough to let you ride it though

 

[R13]

It was at a gas station, I wasn’t gonna ask some random dude to ride his bike with no gear :rolf:

I wouldn’t even ask to sit on it, but like you he wondered if I could even fit on the damn thing so that’s how that happened

 

[94RS]

I was thinking a dealership for some reason. Dude probably still had the high pegs on the bike though.

 

[R13]

Dealerships around here must not wanna buy them because I never see them

And for some reason I always seem to run into them at gas stations :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Tennessee dealerships consider XB12’s a “starter bike” remember? [emoji23]

 

[R13]

Oh right, of course :rolf:

 

[94RS]

Idk whether to like it or hate it...

 

[R13]

That rear axle has some time put into it

I wonder if the cage around the sprocket/rear brake spins too...

From the way it looks designed I can’t imagine how it wouldn’t.

Wheels are too big

 

[94RS]

I’m thinking the “cage” acts as a rigid mount to replace the swing arm, and in a Harley, the shocks would bolt up to the sides.


Agreed on the wheels though, too big and look like shit. Least the could’ve done was find some old school billet tri-fans to somewhat match the front wheel rather than double 5 spokes.
