Hello Everyone.
We are really enjoying our new to us 08 Xb :smile: . My parents had a first gen Xb and traded it for the 08 . Mom wanted another first gen , so they had one of each for several years . They needed a bit more cargo space for a chair lift and got a 2012 Ferd Transit and still have the first gen too .
Anyhow, We now have moms 08 and the wife really likes it ,especially at the gas pump :wink: . She moved out of a Tahoe for the Xb . So I have the Tahoe for when the weather is to bad for the Goldwing.
I do my own maint / repairs so I expect I'll be around with a question now and then .
I think I found the answere to my first question already and will be turning off the engine maint light Saturday along with an oil/filter change .

Oh yea , why does the set of service books cost $500 bucks ? whats up with that ?

See ya down the road :cheers:
mike

Thanks for the welcome . The box is very plain . Simple white with plastic wheel covers .To suprise my wife ,who is away for the weekend, I hadit washed and waxed yesterday . The fellow did a real nice job cleaned inside and out ,door jambs and all . Shes got a nice shine now . I may be looking for some wheels by the time I get a new set of tires .
I am wondering are there any grafix decals ? I guess any place that makes vinyl wraps could make me something . I dont know , its just a whole lot of white .

Lots of people use vinyl or plasti dip on the front bumpers, mirrors, emblems, or on hatch to give it some more distinction and to make it their own.

If you were in Los Angeles I could hook you up with some graphics. If you are good with your hands, I could ship something to you.

One of the things you could do is plastic dip the wheel covers. I'm not sure what color you could put on but it is a way to do a mod that doesn't cost a lot and if you don't like it, the dip can be peeled off.

White is a great blank canvas for adding accents (graphics and/or aftermarket wheels) as just aboout anything looks good on (or with) white.

eBay has a large assortment of body graphics. I've long considered puttng some on my car but just haven't had the time lately. Do a search on eBay for "car vinyl graphics".

Have fun!

I appreciate the idea . I hadn't thought of ebay , precut vinyl kits .
