Alright bedwebbers i need a few things. I am looking for an X1 battery strap, a vrod headlight and some inventive ideas on under tail turn signals sim to a R1. I am also looking for ideas on plate mounting toying with the idea of behind the rear tire but not sure | ||

Ken, look at radiantz. They have really cool stuff. I bought their plate bracket with integrated turn signals, rear light and plate light. BTW, I received the frame, its going to be my backup if my current project takes a turn for the worst. | ||

I also have a radiantz plate with all the goodies just looking for ideas Glad you got the frame | ||

Found an awesome speedshop here near me in Maple Grove that carries all the AN fittings and much more. Waiting on a couple special fittings to join to the swing arm. Will be out in the garage today working on the tail section. | ||

Got a start on the new hoses had to start by cleaning up the pump. And need to get a gasket to reinstall.     | ||

Damn Ken, that is AWESOME! I need some for my M2 rebuild. What else do they have there? | ||
| S1owner |
Brad they are not far from you they have about 30,000 sq ft they are a full custom machine shop. Steve the person I delt with his main job is maintaining the owners cars but they have the cleanest machine shop I have ever seen. They had a custom hemi they had on one rack with their own heads and a very large blower. You need to go there to understand. But they also build custom mufflers and anything else you need. | ||

Stopped in at Raven works and picked up all the fittings and line to also run fuel line. Now I am stuck as the swing arm oil line fitting are odd and have not figured them out anyone have insight into these? Also having trouble with the rear pulley if anyone seen my other post it cracked under welding so back to the start with it. These are my only hang ups I have every other part or it will arrive shortly. Next stripping the coatings to raw for clear coat. | ||

On its way 2 hrs to get it to this point. Got to give props to the PO the paint was done right silver leaf and candy with true hand laid pinstripping!  | ||

Nice! Is that media blasted I take it? | ||
| S1owner |
Nope that bechemical stripped then lots of elbow grease | ||
| Phelan |
Ah, nice | ||
| Hughlysses |
So what are you gonna do with it? It would look pretty awesome polished. | ||
| S1owner |
Not polished but close. Thinking the entire bike raw except some accents. Going to use the technique they used on the old fighter jets to protect the metal.   | ||
| S1owner |
Swing arm fitting done! Had originnally got adapters but it pushed them down to far went back to Pertek and the braised AN Fittings onto the original. These swing arm fittings are inverted JIC hydralic fittings if anyone ever needs to know  | ||

Ok so I will be offline for a week or so but want to get some opinions from all of you while I am out. I know the colors on the bike will be raw, lollipop blue candy showing metal beneath, and black. Motor, bars is black So thought 1-raw wheels, blue swingarm, raw frame, blue tank. 2- blue wheels with raw rim edge, raw swingarm, blue frame, raw tank. 3- everything raw rubbed in penetrol. | ||
| Rjn |
Option 2!!! | ||
| Jolly |
^^^++++ yep! Option 2, the raw rubbed metal supported by the blue frame will really look incredible! | ||
| Jolly |
here is an example of a guzzi done in bare metal with a red frame as an example, I think the blue frame and wheels will really POP!, sorry cant upload photo right now... http://www.wildguzzi.com/pics/marksracer2.jpg | ||
| S1owner |
Nice Jolly Here is the blue but in a candy that will allow to see the metal underneath  | ||
| Ducley |
That is beautiful! | ||
| Gianni312 |
Ken, where did you buy the metal gas tank from? | ||
| S1owner |
Tank is a one off. Ran across an ad for it and I dont think he knew what he had no pics just said aluminum gas tank X1 i called him said mail it right now I will paypal you he went to ups called me I paypaled him 70 and here it is. The best find I have ever had besides my beautiful wife who permits me to do this stuff. | ||

Well going with option 2. Not alot going on here got all the small parts blasted and bringing everything to powder coating this week. Mocked up the tank to find where to have the petcock bung welded in so tank will go in to be welded tomorrow, also have a temp to bend the rear sub frame. Gotta get with Brad to pull my wheels of so I can take care of the painting.  | ||
