Hi all. I am new both to this forum as well as to riding :D. I have had my 2007 Firebolt XB12R for about 3 months now and I love it!! That being said though, I am having one heck of a time finding things for my bike. For example, I would like to get a different seat for some added comfort and a lower sitting position as my legs are not quite long enough and so I stand on the balls of my feet when stopped. I have heard of a 'low seat' that would drop me down almost 2 inches, but can't find it anywhere. The only seat I have found so far is on the Corbin website. Most others are for the S model not the R or not for my year of bike which is really frustrating.
The other issue I have had is with luggage. I found some soft side saddlebags that I like and have bought them, but they are angling in at the bottom because I have nothing to support them. I have looked for support brackets, but can't find anything which is, again, frustrating.
I would love to see a list of links (maybe we could even get it stickied) for sites where other Buell owners get their gear from (hopefully stuff that will work with my bike too :shhhh).
Oh yeah, here is a pic of my bike:
