By George I think he's got it! Looking good! BTW, hows the stealth Ducati brake coming? | ||
| Kilroy |
i love the v-rod headlight on the tubers it just looks right for some reason | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
love the headlight! | ||
| Serialk |
Waiting on my caliper set up. should have it by the end of next week. Bracket is all done. Will post pictures once it starts coming together. | ||
| Kc_zombie |
I know you mentioned this before, but did you use X1 Triple Clamps and XB legs? | ||
| Serialk |
Yes x1 triples and 03 Xb legs | ||
| Serialk |
Force Exhaust mounting hardware.. .. anyone? Any suggestions? | ||
| Serialk |
Is this what I use for the front mount? Hows that gonna work? http://www.useforce.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PR OD&Store_Code=UF&Product_Code=UF-7000FPS&Category_ Code= | ||
| X1_rider |
the Force front mount might not last long. I've been rewelding mine for the last 3 years. I finally got tired of fixing it so I doubled it with stainless steel plates and tubing. | ||
| Serialk |
Been doing some work. -New ignition button in -Hidden Brembo coming together. need brake line and another mount. Learned from this one what works and what does not. - Gauges relocated to top triple    | ||

Jamie, looking good, really good! | ||

So I have a 29 tooth front pulley...And I have a 65 rear from the XB. The 135 uly belt is too long. The 128 is too short. looking at a 132 belt from an 06 Dyna... any one experience this ratio of 29/65 Is this going to be to much of a wheelie machine with this ratio? Some figures from UKBEG site on ratio's: A = 29 TOOTH B = 55 TOOTH This is the "normal" UK spec and gives an overall gear ratio of 3.034. Top gear - 24.02 mph/l000 rpm giving a theoretical top speed of 163 mph at 6800 rpm. Fourth gear - 20.36 mph/1000 rpm - maximum speed 138 mph. Third gear - 16.80 mph/1000 rpm - maximum speed 114 mph. Second gear - 12.19 mph/l000 rpm - maximum speed 83 mph. First gear - 8.93 mph/1000 rpm - maximum speed 61 mph. At 80 mph in top gear the engine is running at 3300 rpm. A = 29 TOOTH B = 61 TOOTH This is the UK engine sprocket with the US rear wheel sprocket to give an overall gear ratio of 3.366. Top gear - 21.66 mph/l000 rpm giving a theoretical top speed of 147 mph at 6800 rpm. Fourth gear - 18.36 mph/1000 rpm - maximum speed 125 mph. Third gear - 15.15 mph/l000 rpm - maximum speed 103 mph. Second gear - 11.00 mph/l000 rpm - maximum speed 75 mph. First gear - 8.05 mph/l000 rpm - maximum speed 55 mph. At 80 mph in top gear the engine is running at 3700 rpm.

is that a 180 rear tire? looks super wide in that picture. cant help you on the belt size, i run a stock tuber belt, but im also using my custom 61 tooth rear pulley. | ||
| Serialk |
180 yep. Again at a stand still waiting for parts and funds. Hopefully fire this up in a few weeks | ||
| Onespeedpaul |
Id say it's going to be a crazy wheelie machine, and whether or not it will be too high RPM at 65-70mph will be up to you. Chain conversion would be an easy but $$$ solution. | ||
| Serialk |
I do have front sprocket for a chain conversion...Its a 530 23 tooth PBI sprocket... All I need is a rear sprocket from Vortex. This is looking to be a better option. Top speed with this will suffer. a 132 belt for an 06 dyna is about $180. I know i can go chain for the same amount if not less. | ||
| Onespeedpaul |
you can probably get the sprocket and chain for close to that. | ||

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RHIK0K/ref=ox _sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A36LLNMLT275EK and a chain. Okay I am selling an xb rear pulley and a 29 tooth front pulley. coming to the classifieds soon | ||
| Gusm2 |
you will also need a rear wheel with a cush drive or a plentifull supply of gearbox output. shaft bearings | ||
| Serialk |
Okay. parts and funds are rolling back in. I have the force bracket and mounting hardware now. How did you guys reinforce your front straps? I also said F the chain and back to belt. Got some new sweet LED turnsignals. will post pictures soon. | ||
| Forerunner |
So you're staying w/the 29/65 combo? Did you figure out a belt? I was planning to run this combo as well cause I thought it was pretty close to the my stock 27/61 setup. Nels | ||
| Serialk |
yup, sticking with the belt. 06 harley Dyna wide glide. 132 belt 14mm pitch. It should work...  New computer. need to figure out image resizing to post some pictures. | ||
| Serialk |
Belt is in and works great. shit list is getting smaller. hopefully rolling it out of my living room in the next few days. Hidden Brembo looks Awesome. I can not wait to ride this    | ||
| Kc_zombie |
Coming together nicely. I'm diggin the frame! (Message edited by kc_zombie on April 27, 2013) | ||

So I installed my vrod headlight...now my rear turnsignals only work if my headlight isnt hooked up...Am I missing something from re wiring from a H4 bulb to a H9 and H11 high/low beam... Now when I plug in just my low beam,hit turn signals no signals in rear. with the HIGH beam UNPLUGED from the light and switched to high beam my rear turn signals work... I have disconnected the front turn signals. no matter what combo i do up front led or stock the rear only works when the vrod headlight isnt plugged in... any guesses on wtf is going on here? I have the motodynamic taillight/turnsignal | ||
| Jolly |
Is the battery fully charged? I have 4 of these motodynamic lights and what I have found while wiring and testing is that it will work very sporadically if the battery is weak. put a trickle charger on and see if that helps with trouble shooting. | ||
| Serialk |
Battery could use a good charge. Going to do that and try again. Got it out of the living room today and a sketchy uphill narrow push on grass and gravel to its next place. Time for Fuel,Oil and Test Ride   | ||
| Onespeedpaul |
Great pair you have there! I always prefer an S1 to an X1 in the looks department, but if yours had the S1ish seat/subframe unit from speed-of-color.de I would change my mind no doubt!! | ||
| Jolly |
that REALLY looks nice!! well done! on the light, yeah you should have seen the trouble shooting I went through...pig tail connect the light without installing just to check to ensure I had the wires routed right and it would work....take some time wire it up and ...nothing...sometimes it would work sometimes it wouldnt, move one wire and bingo it would work, then it wouldnt...msut have trouble shot for hours...well a few beers anyway...then I started thinking that with all of this on and off business I ought to put a charger on it..and that fixed it....I was trouble shooting an intermittent problem that made absolutely no sense, only to come to the conclusion my battery was a little weak and causing the issue. this was not limited to the Buell S1 or the X1, I had the same issue when installing it on the moto guzzi....these things like a good battery when wiring and functional checking...they work great though, have had my first one for a few years and not one issue with cracking or L.E.Ds failing. |
