I like the look of that bike, the red frame really makes a bold look. I didn't have time to read the article yet. | ||

What's the rear shock? | ||

I believe that the S1 is the sexiest Buell ever designed. It all went downhill when the X-1 tail was drafted on. Buell should have stayed with tubers a la Ducati and it could have been a success. Anyway, I really like this bike. Don't like the red frame as much, I'd gone all black or nickle plate the frame, but it's a truly beautiful rendition that would have been a huge sales success had Erik Buell gone that route. | ||

I hadn't gotten past the red frame and trellis tail section. That rear shock is just AMAZING! I think there might be some John Britten influence, which is a good thing http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2219/2519305988_233f a4db52_z.jpg | ||

I am with Bernard on this tubers with american power plant rule. I would have never bought my Buell had it not had an American motor in it! | ||

I miss the days when you waited for your Battle2Win magazine to come in the mail so you could see the latest cool Buell custom.This bike would have fit right in. | ||

Does anyone know where I can get tube mounted brackets that he is using to hold his breather can? | ||

Go to Google Images and type in "shock reservoir clamp" you'll see about a hundred of them. Jegs, Summit, the usual suspects, plus a bunch of smaller places. That is a fantastic bike! (Message edited by jayvee on November 29, 2012) | ||

A little low on HP. would have expected near 120 with 90 inch. | ||

That's Canadian HP, Jim. You have to multiply by 2 and subtract 32. I rode with Paul once, at Sportbikewest, years ago. He had a great story of hitting a grizzly bear. (Both lived.) | ||
