Alki beach is a good place to be on a sunny saturday afternoon, yes? All you need now is a pair of bar-end mirrors, some bikini babes and Ferry boat in the background. Well, that and a winning Lotto ticket I suppose. Great shot. | ||
| Hootowl |
Ray, If I find that winning ticket, I'll get you those mirrors OK? | ||

Yeah, we were having a meeting with our new product rep, so I decided to try the stuff out. For "sizing" reference, of course. Its kinda fun to get the reactions from the Harley crowd when they see someone in full race gear. | ||

I can tell from your outfit that you must be a "SpaceMan." LOL | ||

Re: Always thought the X1 looks better without the chin spoiler... I disagree. Looks great once you loose the big airbox. Fred X1 Let's see if this works... \image | ||

Made it. That's a Banke underseat tray. Not sure where the tank trim pieces came from, picked them up used. Pruned the belt guard spear back a bit and voila. Fred | ||

Thought you guys might enjoy seeing what Em looks like now. You can check my profile to see what she looked like at Christmas. I'm so close I can taste it.  I've got to pick up a battery tomorrow and I'm on my way to Daytona! Not to rub salt in any wounds but it was 83 out today. JT | ||

I think I prefer the black air scoop. Otherwise I like it! PPiA | ||

| Shazam |

Peter, Is your front fender off in that picture? if it is, can you post some pics with better views of it? John | ||
| Shazam |
Hauck, That is my bike, hahaha, Peter pulled that pic(say fast 5 times) out of my profile. The first pic is how it sits now the one Peter posted is how I had it last summer....without front fender. I'll see if I can find some more. I've only recently gone digital so most of the pics I have, are on paper. | ||

New Guy here. I've been looking at this site for about a month now and ya'll have me drooling over all these bikes. Makes me wish I could afford to do more to my little thing. Actually makes me wish I could go get the Lightning or the Firebolt. I put a picture of me on my little ole Blast in my profile. I'll try to upload what little changes I've made since getting it in January. First time doing this, having a little trouble trying to figure out how you post the images here. | ||

 I've got Napoleon Bar End Mirrors and new handlebars on the way. Ordered Bikemaster (European Chrome) with only a 2" rise and 4 1/2" drawback, 29 1/2" wide. | ||
| Hauck |
Shazam, Alright, where did you get that tail section? God knows I wont be able to afford it but we all need something to dream about, right.....Did you have a problem with rocks/road grim/rain spraying up without that fender? I don't need any more work when it's time to wash. | ||

I built it. I've gotten a couple of E-mails lately about this and will tell you what I've told others "I found a similar tail section from a company called "streetwise sportbike necessaries" and ordered one, they never sent it and I had to go through my credit card company to get my money back. I decided to build one! I built that tail section last winter, I spent a lot of time fabricating brackets and tabs to hold things like the ECM, rear brake resevoir, and the bank angle sensor. when I had it like I wanted I took it and had it chromed. surprisingly it took a lot more work to make the seat frame. but I think it turned out great!" "I spent about four months toying with this in my spare time over the winter, while I had the bike torn down for chroming of the frame and polishing all the aluminum......total cost ?????? probably around $100 bucks........ten dollars worth of sheetmetal and tubing (free access to a fab shop I used to work in), about $30 in the tail light and blinkers, and another $20 for seat material (I have a best friend that does upholstery) $40 to chrome it. I would tell you that I did have a lot of time in it (and even considered making a jig to reproduce it easier, but didn't). I could do another one pretty easy now (learned alot about where to stuff everything) but the time it takes is still substantial. oh yeah, I bought an additional bank angle sensor so I wouldn't have to remove that when I want to switch to the factory tail (for riding two-up). Some thing else I did (paid attention to) was make it very simple to switch the tails, It takes about fifteen minutes to put the factory subframe back on and about ten for the rear footpegs and license plate! All of the wiring uses the factory harness without modification and I left the turn signals and bank angle sensor on the cast unit. the fuse holders slide into a set of slots in the left side panel (they would be hard to get to in a hurry, as you would have to remove the bottom two bolts of the subframe and rotate it up to slide them out)." "Yeah, I love the way it looks....this is the way it is gonna stay as long as I own it. may change the color scheme sometime down the road but I like the red and chrome. The only thing I would do different if I were doing it again, is square off the back, up around the back of the seat. I went with the round so I could fit a reular tail light into it." Yes, you get the skunk stripe in the rain all things being equal I figure I'm getting wet anyways......no rock problems though! | ||

Ever see a wheelie maintained PAST vertical? Strange site... | ||

>>>Ever see a wheelie maintained PAST vertical? Yes and I sawed the photos. It was Doug Demokos doing a little parking lot show on Erik Buell's "Big Red" S-2...ground the tail section. I would have said "impossible"...I would have been wrong. Court | ||

Ever see a wheelie maintained PAST vertical? Not with me on the bike | ||

Doug D was who I was thinking of. The picture I saw was on the KAW 6 cylinder monster and he liked to bang the tail light out just for fun. I don't think even he could hit Shazam's tail light! | ||
