What you will see more of are the tailights Just being an ass...

You forgot to mention that the queer tank shape feels bad and and holds less fuel, and the seat is a piece of vinyl over plywood.

Better than the Gixxer tanks........They don't have anything to lock your thighs into. They get narrower up top, which is exactly the opposite of how it should be.

I never had an issue with the shape of the tank on my 08 gixxer. I could grip the tank no problem. If you notice though, the Suzuki race bikes(AMA, WSBK ) have different shaped tanks that are wider at the top.

I liked the 04-05 gixxers........More of a "traditional" fuel tank. Also a longer reach.

When I say "grip" the tank I don't mean just when you're leaned over. I mean when you're just cruising, it's nice to have a grippy tank so that your lower body can absorb bumpy roads. This takes the stress off your back and arms.

I always have the ball of my feet on the pegs, and I like to "push" my thighs up into the lip on the tank, if there is one. I really liked the 05-06 Kawi 636 because they had a lip that was so prominent that you didn't even need to push your legs into it, they were already there.

The lights on the XB, while projectors, fucking SUCK. I can't see shit at night. Buell did recall them...which I had done. That made them marginally better.

Honestly, before the recall, riding at night at 35 mph was down right DANGEROUS.

But I knew the lights sucked before I bought it. I did my research. And I don't ride at night very often.

Why not throw a HID in that bitch?

I've been considering that.. Would a brighter bulb make a huge difference in a projector headlight setup?

[Dave]

thats exactly the kind of question that the internetsw forum was designed to answer. im sure theres soe poor shlub on badweather who already spent the moolah for you..

[Gas Man]

An HID would make the difference... not just a brighter an HID

Stomp Grips could fix that I ride the same as you and never had a problem on the GSXR.
