there is not so much people here to speak with about american v-twin , buell and harleys..... the bikes in the pictures are mine. i did almost everythings in my garage using badweb like information source you can read about the buell xb in my profile . the sportster its the same mentioned in my profile to , but now the conversion-recostruction its 90% done i miss only S.E. ignition module , new tires and maybe better rear shocks. it was a 2004 883 xl after a big crash now : 1200 flat top wiseco pistons , new 1200 cyl. kit dynojet with the stock carb. home made tail , home made treeple clamps , home made air filter , 50% home made muffler and headers. ported heads (done by me following istructions .....to much difficult explain in english..) new combustion chambers to fit wiseco flat top , rear positioned foot controls new handlebar (two pieces cafe' racer style) coming from a honda 125 nsr , new home made windshield with a plexy coming from the buell. i did a test ride comparing my sporty in the street with an original 1200 of a friend. mine its really more powerfull more noisy less fine not so well finished but compared to an original 1200 sporty i think a 20 - 25% more power and more torque at less rpm . see the pictures and let me know what you think about ... thank you all bye Alessio   | ||

That sportster is sweet. I love what you did with the front end. Using a Buell windscreen and fairing stay, genius. | ||

There is only one thing I don't like. The headers hang down under the bike too far where they meet the muffler. If possible, I think it would look better if the collector/exhaust/header was kept up higher so it didn't interrupt the lines of the frame/engine case.  | ||

"there is only one thing"... thank you Naustin , you very friendly... i know there are a lot of things to adjust , what you pointed its correct and i hope to fix it soon. but the list of things to fix and to change is very long....example: the gear has 1st up and i don't want to spend a lot of money to by a lever kit to change it in 1st down.... thanks again bye Alessio | ||

Nice work. Different and interesting for sure. What is the metalic part that appears to wrap around the left side frame, just above the clutch cover on the Firebolt? | ||
| Alessio66xb12r |
to blake the metallic part its an aluminium piece of metal i used to cover the negative wire coming from the "rapid bike" module going to the negative pole of the battery. i wanted to pass that wire as far as possible from the engine heat. i repeat : my biggest informations source that make those projects possible is this fantastic place so .... what i must say....thanks again Alessio | ||
