Well just ripped the sucker (damn California emissions) off and yanked out the tubes. Does not seem to have adversely affected anything. I also cut out the snorkel in the airbox. Did my 1000 mile oil change while I was at it. | ||

Hello, Sorry to say it, but thanks to some moron who doesnt understand a red light, my X1 is totaled. I'll miss her! Anyway, figured I'd post some pics of the bike and my doc's handywork (5 pins total). Have a good one. Mike   | ||

Bummer Mike, did you break your wrist on the pavement? How long before you're back in action? Fill us in on the details. Chris | ||
| Spiderman |
OUCH!! sorry to hear dude. Here is wishin you a speedy recovery  | ||
| Mzoomora |
Chris, I broke the last 2" off of one bone in my forearm, and a small piece off of the other. I had a cast for 1-1/2 weeks, but it wouldnt work, so I'll have this set up for 6 weeks, plus therapy. There is two pins in my hand, two in my arm, and one straight into the wrist joint. It broke against the pavement on landing. Oh well! I really like the new XB9S, but will probably wait. Mike. | ||
| Reepicheep |
MZoo... Hope you have a speedy recovery. Checked your profile, I have a cousin thats a Chicago firefighter, and an uncle that used to be a fire chief there. Sorry about the X1, that was a nice looking bike. | ||
| Noface |
Damn! Sorry to hear of your accident, and hope you recover soon. Your wrist looks real familiar. A good friend of mine can attest to what you're going thru right now, as he wore one of those nice polished SS/Titanium dealies -on each wrist- for quite awhile. Still recovering after 6+ months. Speaking of such good friend, he's should be here shortly to attend the local AMRA drags today... (no.... he'll only be a spectator this year). Good luck dude, heal well. Jody S. | ||

Good luck on a speedy recovery. Get back on a ride asap, the throttle action will be good physical therapy  | ||

Took advantage of the nice weather today, and happened upon a war memorial that was under construction. Made for a cool photo op. It couldn't be more American.  | ||

What S2? | ||
| Firemanjim |
My question,exactly,Blake. And Mzoo,hope you had alot of sick leave accumulated as I am sure you couldn't drag yourself into the station and fall down there after that crash.Here's hoping for a speedy and full recovery. | ||
| Mzoomora |
Jim, We get a lot of injured leave, so I'll be okay with that, but I lose all my side job money! Hey reep, who's your cousin? Just curious. Thanks for the kind words guys! When i get a new ride, I'll post some pics. Thanks, Mike | ||
| Spiderman |
S3 sorry the 2 and 3 are too close when you have a few brewskies | ||

Spiderman, thanks for the props on the pulley cover.It was hand-crafted by BrentX1. Look a little closer at the new XB1200R"HYBRID" engine it's attached to.....it's real cool as well!  | ||
| Lornce |
Dog, Izzat you an yer S3 in front of the chopper? Wild paint, for sure. I'd never tell the top end's XBR from the photo. Very stealthy.... Come on to Mosport on the weekend! Laters, Lornce | ||
| Twodogs |
yeah lornce, that's the project. I'll get some close up pics of the engine asap. Did the paint myself in 2000. Dupont chroma base prowler purple over buell canyon red. | ||

 I was hoping more creative minds would prevail and help me choose a secondary color. All the body work will be Carbon Fiber (the tail already is and I'm ordering the windscreen and front fender this week). I think I'm going to paint the tank black with a deep blue stripe running the length of the center of the tank, fading in with the black. My problem is that I want to powder coat some items such as the turn signals, pulley (drilled out R&R style), frame brace, axle adjusters, brake calipers, and maybe a few other small parts. The rear swingarm is being replaced with a new style that is gloss black. I want the parts to stand out, but look like they belong. I was thinking Buell blue or Snap red but I think they might be to outstanding. Any thoughts? The wheels and frame will eventually be powder coated "almost chrome", and the engine will be black. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Joel | ||

Joel, There is a great guy named Cap and he makes carbon fiber gas tank covers for S1's. I think he is still working at one of the Harley dealers in Alabama. Someone else here may know better. Nice job on the bike. | ||
