Author Message   S1owner Posted on Monday, May 05, 2014 - 11:44 am:        The prototype had this style stand. It does have its risks as there is leverage pulling on it with this. My thought was to support it best as possible. When in my garage i will not have it on the stand this should minimize the issue. Joe have you had any issue with your side stand?   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, May 05, 2014 - 11:52 am:        No issues no leaks. Its only used to hold bike up when parked. I never sit on the bike on its side stand. XB series have side stand attached to the primary. I made my stand from scratch from chrom moly tubing.   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, May 07, 2014 - 07:48 pm:        Pulley removal finnally tackeled! New can arrived   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 - 08:06 pm:        For those of you looking for updates dont have any right now waiting on a few parts but here is some excellent reading from a master builder! http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/263887.html   S1owner Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2014 - 02:43 pm:        Looking for some pics of a stock Xb brake line routing if anyone has them trying to figure which brake line I need?   Joesbuell Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2014 - 04:34 pm:        I used my original S3 front brake hose.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2014 - 04:48 pm:        I could do that also. What master did you use?   Joesbuell Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2014 - 05:23 pm:        Stock S3 master cylinder   S1owner Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2014 - 06:41 pm:        Great I am using a M2 should work fine then thanks for the info   Joesbuell Posted on Sunday, May 25, 2014 - 06:48 pm:        From memory I had to tweak(bend)one of the fittings a little.   S1owner Posted on Saturday, June 07, 2014 - 06:39 pm:        Been working on the light still not sure about it but here it is so far   Joesbuell Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 07:34 am:        Hmmm No....   S1owner Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 11:09 am:        I agree joe the case makes it to big I will think of something   Rocket_in_uk Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 03:05 pm:        Would you believe me if I said "words fail me"...... Rocket in England   S1owner Posted on Monday, June 09, 2014 - 04:42 pm:        Never said I was using it rocket it was a thought and I could not invision till I had it up. Was just part of the process.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, June 22, 2014 - 06:34 pm:        Battery tray done and rear pan done and installed time for wires.   Gianni312 Posted on Sunday, June 22, 2014 - 07:13 pm:        Looking good.   Brentx1 Posted on Monday, June 23, 2014 - 10:42 pm:        Looks like the bike has good bones. Nice work.   Alfau Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 12:09 am:        You'll never resolve poor engineering.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 08:22 am:        Is this the original 96 s1 frame? ,or are you using the spare frame you have/had for this?   Joesbuell Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 08:40 am:        Can tell by the low foot peg mounts its an M2/S3 frame.   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 08:55 am:        This is an M2 frame its my test frame once everything is worked out I may switch to an X1 frame.   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 10:13 am:        By the way I still have the S1 frame I also have an X1 frame and this M2 frame this M2 unfortuanately has no title I have a BOS if I want to go through the hassle. But my plans are to swap everything to the x1 frame. Sometimes i make way more work for myself but I loke it.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 12:13 pm:        Can tell by the low foot peg mounts its an M2/S3 frame. yep i see it now have to look better at the pictures before asking! The battery tray looks good ,but maybe you could have made the rear pan mounted with some small bolts!?   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 - 02:22 pm:        Could of done the bolts and I did think about it but it is where most of the electronics will be and it will be excessed from under the seat. My S1 had bolts to hold the stainless pan on worked ok but the bolts sticking out always caught my eye wrong.   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 - 08:35 am:        Does anyone else absolutley hate wiring!   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 - 09:51 am:        If I have to do it on the side of the road or on my only transportation, yes. If I'm doing it for fun, or to add/fix stuff on a project, no. I actually find it relaxing (though also tedious and chalice-building. I've done a lot of it for custom computer builds and such. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/phelan_z06/20130422_230333_zps5956af45.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/phelan_z06/20130921_162408_zps02812380.jpg http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/phelan_z06/20130729_233551_zps66a18809.jpg (Message edited by phelan on July 09, 2014)   Maxbuell Posted on Wednesday, July 09, 2014 - 01:46 pm:        Joes u the man nice spotting never new....   S1owner Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2014 - 12:19 am:        Ok wiring almost done anyone have suggestions on what to wrap thecwire harness in obviously all the connectors are on so loom will not work?   Brother_in_buells Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2014 - 06:06 am:        Some non sticking isolation band and there over some cotton wiring tape like used on the later xb,s ,or only some small black pvc isolation tape in two or three layers.
