American Sport Bike Carbon Fiber.
American Sport Bikes XB9 PARTS
Tats Bike
Carbon Fiber! It seems that with Buells there are two or three ways to go when making your bike a bit different. You can go with Polished aluminum, or maybe even chromed parts. Then there is Carbon Fiber. I call this the "go fast" look.

American Sport Bike was the first after-market company this year in the USA to release Carbon products for the XB9r & XB9s modeled Buells. Trojan Horse in the UK was the first company to release Carbon product for the new model Buells.

So Tat from American Sport Bike sent us some of his products to put onto the XB9S to display at Daytona this year (2003). After the installation, I was able to get in a couple of cold weather rides out to Moto-Market in Acton, MA before heading off to Daytona. The response was great even from guys that don't ride Buells. They thought the Carbon fit the look of the Buell and it's new design frame over the plastic that came stock.

We had 5 new Carbon pieces to add to the XB9S.

Front Fender
Rear Fender
Right side Air intake.
Right side Oil cooler cover
Front &Rear foot guards

All the parts from ASB had a nice fit and finish. All hardware was provided. I was able to install all the parts except the rear fender in under an hour. To install the rear fender you'll need to remove the rear wheel. Not a problem, just added about another hour to the job.

New Shifter from ASB.

The parts look great, and with these 5 carbon parts added the bike, it almost looked as it had come stock with Carbon Fiber. I've answered the question a couple of hundred times. Nope those are after market products, not stock. Here at ATC we have almost all the ASB products and again ASB hit a home run with it's new Carbon products for your XB9r & XB9s. Most anyone who has owned a Buell has done business with ASB and knows that Tat stands behind his products and has the customer service we're all looking for when shopping for Buell parts.

ASB designed Oil inspection Cap.(Made by Banke.) Really sharp looking on bike.
