like i said it is almost done i just have a little more to do to it like paint, finish the exhaust, new rotor to install the one thats on it is warped to bad to re-use. Its going to be gloss black.      the second to the last pic shows the shifter that broke when i was taking pics of the bike she tipped over, crap. | ||

Nice bike - I especially like the exhaust, as I am sure your neighbors do as well!! | ||
| Nevrenuf |
looking good blake | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
i need to finish up the exhuast, it isnt staying that way. | ||
| Ducxl |
I have a few extras i made for my X1. 5/16-18 thread.You can have one.You'd need to purchase the black rubber insert though,P/N N0510.D at a cost of $3. and then press it onto the aluminum peg.Or use a piece of rubber hose. BMC ONLY sells the entire assembly.  | ||

Blake, Man, that's starting to look REAL good! You've made tons of great progress! Can't wait to see it in person. Brad | ||
| Beachbuell |
I don't care for the headlamps. But, other than that the bike looks fantastic! | ||
| Buellfighter |
Looking good! I especially like the matching pulley/gas tank.  | ||
| Evadmils |
bike is lookin good! Question for ya, are those the bars from www.americansportbike.com, I'd have the direct link for ya but the site has been down for a while. Anyway, if they are, do you like them and were they a pain in the ass to put on? I've been thinkin about gettin them. thnx dave | ||

Nice Blake, can't wait to see it when it's done. "do you like them and were they a pain in the ass to put on? I've been thinkin about gettin them." I don't mean to step on this thread, but I went through an adventure with my Crossroads... they were too wide. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/297358.html If the width doesn't bother you, it's a bolt on affair. It it does... well, you see the hoops I jumped through. | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
BRAD i will have to let you know when i am done and possibly have you help me fine tune the carb DUCXL i send a pm i want one. BUELLFIGHTER yeah the pulley is rusty, dont worry i have a Baker lightweight lower gear sprocket to install, that will be last. EVALMILS yeah the bars are from American Sport Bike they are crossroads and i like em at 6foot 6 inch i like the width. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Anytime Blake, just let me know.. | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
here is a few more firs is the baker pulley with the keeper powdercoated gloss black...  XB-s oil cooler with the bracket jodie made me (joesbuell design)!! the cover is gettig painted gloss black  close up of the front with black lowers and carrier, To bad i find out after i paint the rotor that it is warped, ohh well i think a nice EBC will look better any how.   this is the reason my bike has been taking so much time, but she is worth it momma snapped this one while we were sleeping on the couch!  | ||
| Joesbuell |
G'day Blake the M2 is looking hot mate, Especially that oil cooler bracket!  The wife and I have 6 sons between us and she got all gooey over your daughter... You could just drill out that broken gear toe peg and make up a new one from a bolt etc. the original shifter, the up and over one sucks bad! well I I hated mine!!! Used to rattle on my ankle. Your truck looks TUFF very low...or is it missing some wheels, etc? Anyway I love the look of it and hope your back on the road soon mate. Cheers Jodie | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
the truck is bagged, air ride suspension,shaved i have had it since it was new and stock from the dealer lot.    | ||
| Bluzm2 |
The pictures don't do the truck justice. It's WAY better in person! Regarding the toe peg, aren't they screwed in? If not, drill it and tap it for a standard toe peg. I can check the thread size if you need Blake. Brad | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
thanks brad, i dont think that it is a big deal with the threads i think that i am going to extract the threaded end and stick a new peg in there. The trucks going to get black 22's soon. i think that i will make a garage wall clock out of my stock rotor. | ||
| Ducxl |
That does it! My X1 has sat for weeks now with a broken toepeg.Out racing with my buds one day i stomped on it one too many times.I've done this before. A small drill through the center of the broken peg and it'll free up and spin itself out.Did i "red" locktite it the last time? Multiple occasions have forced me to screw machine 'en mass replacement toepegs. At least two of which,go in the mail this morning to Minnesota. | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
hey thanks alot greg. | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
brad do you want these? i remembered you commented that you liked em when i was at your garage. let me know. they are 3 inch long and pretty bright. shown next to a 2-3/4 inch 12 guage round.   | ||
| Ducxl |
Mailed....regular USPS I did indeed "RED" locktite MY last peg replacement and have been fighting it all day/w easy out and heat.Mine is still salvageble.THe threads are unmolested.Locktite is holding the remaining shell of a screw   | ||
| Hugie03flhr |
Nice use of the 12 ga.  | ||
| Djkaplan |
Works just as good as a quarter. | ||
| Phelan |
Duece, where'd you get those signals? I would love to put a set of those on my S2. | ||
| Joesbuell |
I think I'm going make up a set of those clip ons there Blake  Do they hit the tank at all on full lock? | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
no they do not hit the tank jodie and they are such a good bar for lanky tall white guys like us. Phalen they are lockhart phillips signals iirc, if Brad doesnt want them i will sell them to you. | ||
| Bluzm2 |
Blake, I don't need another set right now, if Phalen need them go ahead and let him have them. I have enough projects going that I really shouldn't start "sprucing things up" on the bike. Those things have a way of snowballing into a major project.. Thanks much for asking Blake, I do like the blinkers.. Brad | ||
| Phelan |
sent you an email, Blake  | ||
| Cyclonemduece |
ok i need help, I am at the point i wanna get this thing running, i put it all together and all i got is click click click click, fast... I talked to brad bluzm2 and hit the starter button over the phone, sound to both of us to be a low battery and the sound is the selenoid, i have a three year old h-d agm sealed battery in it. I tried my charger it and it says 13 volts well i got a new battery and it does the same think click click. Does it sound like i overlooked something like not scapeing paint somewhere? what do i need to look for, where to start first...how to test it???? | ||
| Ducxl |
How about the big braided steel ground wire at the rear isolator? Are you certain it is making good contact? My other engine with 13:1`CR was "clicking" and then i installed bigger gage battery wires and also had to tighten them securely. Also add some dielectric grease to all battery connections.Hoping you solve your problem |
