Author Message   Johnnymceldoo Posted on Thursday, October 26, 2006 - 08:54 pm:        Just curious if anyone has customized the rear tail section of an X1. Im kind of partial to the slim look of the S1 tail section. The X1 has that big bulky aluminum tail piece and I just dont dig it.   Wardan123 Posted on Thursday, October 26, 2006 - 09:47 pm:          Chasespeed Posted on Friday, October 27, 2006 - 07:42 pm:        The X1 is pretty easy. The tail comes off, and leaves you 4 mounting points. Graft up a frame/ and tail of your choosing. Chase   1313 Posted on Saturday, October 28, 2006 - 11:40 am:        The polished aluminum X1 has an aftermarket tail section (from Germany) that is pretty popular in Germany. You can kind of compare it to the black bikes stock tail section to see the improvement. Another shot: 1313   Johnnymceldoo Posted on Saturday, October 28, 2006 - 05:02 pm:        1313 thats much better. Slims it up a little bit and gets rid of that big lunch box over the air cleaner. Thanks for posting that.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Saturday, October 28, 2006 - 06:15 pm:        If you do ditch the original tail, I might be interested in buying it off of you if it isn't scratched up or anything.   Johnnymceldoo Posted on Saturday, October 28, 2006 - 06:18 pm:        Sorry Nate, I dont even have a bike yet! Just seeing what could be done to a 99-02 in terms of style.   Chevysolid Posted on Tuesday, October 31, 2006 - 11:55 am:        You could powder coat the tail section   Carguyinok Posted on Saturday, November 11, 2006 - 11:31 pm:        I worked over the X1 tail for my M2. Alittle cutting and some thinking with ALOT of polish time. Then had the seat made over my custom seat pan. I will put some better pics up soon.   Halffast Posted on Sunday, November 12, 2006 - 12:27 am:          Carguyinok Posted on Sunday, November 12, 2006 - 11:08 am:        I like this last one. Any clue as for what was done for the oil tank?   Bomber Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 10:59 am:        Car -- since the bike isn't a runner at the point the shot was taken, I'm bettin a oil bag will live in more or less that stock location   Shazam Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 11:29 am:        This was one I made, then parted the bike out..... I still have it. might interest you. hundreds more pics available   Spiderman Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 11:43 am:        Damn, I don;t even hav a X1 and I wanna buy that tail LOL   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 11:55 am:        Palerider has a cool tail section on his X1. I don't have any pictures but here's the basics... Welded a sheet of aluminium to the bottom of the stock tail. Smoothed all the welds and then had the entire piece chromed. It looks very sweet on the bike!   Rum_runner Posted on Monday, November 13, 2006 - 08:30 pm:        Shazam you have a PM
