Hey PBP members,

I am in need of your thoughts! Any and all are appreciated.

I have an X6 and I am need new plastics. I plan on going away from the original X6 fairings, so I was thinking maybe an X7 fairing kit or something that will fit on the current X6 frame.

I am not sure what will work on my current frame?

I was considering going with this site - http://www.pocketbikeparts.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=180

Looking to hear back and I will post pics when I have decided and completed the conversion.

Thanks

I'd keep the x6 fairings on , it has it's on look and I think all the x's through x1-8 have the same frame but maybe diff dimensions

The X6 fairings broke on me, so I wanna switch it up. I think the X7 body looks meaner and more sleek

Think someone put x7 plastics on an X1 /X2 which use nearly the same frame as the X6. Let us know how it works out.

Alrighty. Yeah I'll keep you posted.

I am leaning toward X7 plastics but I am considering putting on a super bike fairing kit on my X6.

Possibly this X18 kit - http://www.pocketbikeparts.com/Body_Kit_Complete_kit_p/etbp5590199.htm ??

Why does everybody like the x18 so much?

Haha. Idk. It looks sick!

Or I can go with an X15 look - http://www.pocketbikeparts.com/Body_Kit_Complete_Kit_p/xfbp880888.htm

.... which would be more beneficial as the kit includes an exhaust cover, exhaust chrome accent cover, and a windshield for the same price as the X18 kit.

The X6 frame is wider than the x18 frame in certain placed dimensions....it would be easier to put an x15/19/22 body on an X6/X8.........Its way easier to put an x7 body on an x18 than on an X6 and yet the X7 to x18 swap still requires work...........

Thanks!

I will most likely go into that direction and purchase the X15 kit early monday morning.

I wasn't aware of the dimensions as I haven't researched into it yet.

Haha.. I'm right there with you. Nothing works. I think my fuse is good too, so I am saying it's my battery.

I'm gonna give it a charge when I get home if I remember lol

My batterie is fine tho. My uncle accidentally pulled the negative wire off and I didn't solder it back on I just electrical taped it , that could be a reason idk

Yep, I forgot to give my battery a charge.

If that does not work for me it may be wiring issues too, since I had blue leds installed onto my bike with some help.

I go on vacation next weekend, so I am not going to risk ordering the X12 plastics and have them at my door steps over the weekend lol..

So I am going to wait until next monday to order the plastics.

Anyone have any ideas on what a beginner like me can do with converting an X6 into a X12? (exhaust, shocks, etc.)

U have any pics of ur bike lit up?and do u mean x15? Because I'm sure the x12's plastic won't fit right on ur bike, the x12 has its own unique shape
