For two years, it's been a pile of parts in the basement.

I like the peg risers. Simple and sturdy. My Crossroads rear sets are sort of flimsy and awkwardly mounted. I wish I got a set of solid mounted pegs too.

What are the lights under your tach?

I think it looks nice?

You need to get some better pics that do your hard work justice.

I was lucky to get these pic's posted ( I'm not so computer oriented) It's an old racer that I got a frame off of Ebay with a title. Took all the good stuff, (kick ass engine) homeade undertail section, altered XRtail, a ruined X1 tailsection and migged it to a plate for a dash. It's kept me busy. A FREAKIN' YEAR AT Baltimore Chrome, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. All in all I'm proud I got a finished product.

Sportsman,
Thats a BAD A-- bike! Great job! I see you are in Baltimore... Are you planning on being at any local shows/runs with it? I'd love to see it in person.
And yes....more pics!

I'm thinkin I'll take it to the AHDRA races at Cecil county to see what it'll do. The engine did 11.5's years ago without a altanator, so it should be close.
So much stuff is leftover trash. A broken Peterbilt fuel tank strap made the headlight mounting brackets, the flat part of the dash is a Freightliner side step, the seat subframe is 1"pipe and stainless KW mirror brackets, the peg risers are a hunk of aluminum plate carved with a angle grinder and a cheap drill press. Those lights on the dash are the engine light and low fuel that are supposed to be in the stock tach. I spent way too many hours polishing the triple trees and the Buell sprocket protector, sprocket, and all the little Bullsh**. I didn't appreciate OCC till I tried to do it myself. There are way too many wires on these bikes, I gave up and HD of baltimore figured out I had a ground that was intermitten. It's been a fun project even with all the anguish.

Badass! Do you have any side profile shots? That flattrack seat interest me. It sure can't be any more uncomfortable than the stock seat.

Rad!

Is that an S1 tank? If so, can you post a few detail on how you set up the low fuel warning system?

sportsman this bike does needs better pictures. this thing in person is the best Buell I have ever seen. The tech that worked on it realy held back while riding it. I think I would have been a little less held back. GREAT JOB!!!!!!

If you get some better pictures, I'm sure that there are plenty of people (me included) that would post them for you, just email them, we'll take care of the rest.

Buell920, Thank you. J may have held back cause I told him I just put it together and if he heard anything rattling it was something falling off and be awareYa know, drink a beer, set frame on engine, drink a beer, attach swingarm, etc.
Jscott, It's a Kooks muffler on Force headpipes with a Pep boys 2 1/2" elbow in between. The Kooks pipes got mashed in a wreck and the Force collector was cracked up so the mig got used again. That's why header wrap seemed like a good idea.
Pwnzor, yes, a wracked X1 tail was cut to use the logo and migged to flat plate and cut with an angle grinder to size.
99BuellX1, I may just do that, I'm easily frustrated with this electric box here that I don't really understand. But right now it's after 4AM and I just got back from the marina checking on the boat. The place looks like a junkyard. Loose boats, busted everything all over the place. Luckily mine was just fine.
