Woah. That looks SHARP. I wouldn't want to keep it clean, but... man, that looks *good*! (my idea of a bike wash is riding through a rainstorm) |

Outside of the timing cover, I really like that! Frame looks awesome in white! |

Wash it in the rain is my way as well. Just my version of the white lightning. Dirty bike means it's ridden. I think the only time I'll actually wash it is if I show it ( rolling advertisement for my powder coat shop) |

White hides dirt. Besides, that's a smooth finish, vs. the factory rough finish. I think it'll be easier to keep clean. Shore is purdy! |

Looks great. I can't even imagine how many hours you put into it. Next year you need to do the yellow/green. |

That is very well done - really nails a minimalist look. EZ |

this is just an idea but since your going for the white lightning theme you should do the headers blue like the x1w. Any way it looks awesome |

on a side note you need to pull down the boot on your clutch cable. |

Was going to ceramic the headers but Im a big fan of the polished stainless, clutch boot is up because I have to adjust it. Thanks for the feedback guys |

Was going to do front mount/ isolator but the rubber insert won't stand the heat. Also still have forks to do but that will wait until next oil change |

That's a fine looking machine. You say it's now road ready, does that mean it might make an appearance at the BBQ run? |
