Have to pull front iso bolt loosen iso mount bolts install rear isos then get front bolt started and tighten everything! But its done!! Went to Blumz and put the shoes back on installed the beatings lookin good   S1owner Posted on Sunday, March 29, 2015 - 05:50 pm:        Also Penetroled the bare aluminum! Heres one for all of you never drill out a rotor yourself check all these cracks out this is the rotor that came on my wheel!   Purpony Posted on Sunday, March 29, 2015 - 09:28 pm:        Coming together and looking good. Ordered my tire so hope to get them mounted to my new wheels next Saturday at my uncles. Should see the pulley tomorrow! And those cracks are crazy   Rjn Posted on Monday, March 30, 2015 - 01:44 am:        Nice detail on the dust cap of the bearing, although the blue is only slightly off! But it's coming together all nicely!!   S1owner Posted on Friday, April 03, 2015 - 10:20 pm:        Got some matching vynil not sure if I like it.   Xb9er Posted on Saturday, April 04, 2015 - 07:53 am:        I like it.   S1owner Posted on Saturday, April 04, 2015 - 10:13 pm:        Made alot of progress today! Sitting on its own shoes, carb installed all the small stuff on. Here are some pics and yes I know the shifter is not correct.   Phelan Posted on Saturday, April 04, 2015 - 10:38 pm:        WOW!!!   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, April 04, 2015 - 10:44 pm:        Interesting kickstand location. I guess you'd need to switch to the XB stand. Liking what you got going on!   S1owner Posted on Saturday, April 04, 2015 - 11:09 pm:        It is an XB stand with a modified mount plate. Not done yet with it I have several odds and ends to finish   Brother_in_buells Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 07:50 am:        Looking very good   D_adams Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 07:58 am:        Wonder what it's going to sound like?   Xb9er Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 08:05 am:        saaaweeeet! Did you make the front pulley cover and primary cover guard?   S1owner Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 08:14 am:        The blue inside pulley is fron American Sport Bike the outside black cover yes I made that with patients and a dremel. The blue derby cover I modified borrowed the Idea from Rick-A on this site. There are 4 people that have put work into this bike Purpony, Blumz, D Adams and myself with the all powerful influence of Joesbuell. And of couse all of you.

If you'r looking to ditch that fuel tank give me call   S1owner Posted on Sunday, April 05, 2015 - 09:05 am:        Well the only tank that will fit the bike is that one Lol as there is no spot for a fuel pump drop down on the frame so the underside has to be flat. I have one more trick for the tank since I will have no reserve I am putting a external site tube in on the left sude it will keep with the P39 Ww2 jet fighter look.   S1owner Posted on Monday, April 13, 2015 - 08:04 pm:        Accomplished a few things fender had some big mars in it sanded and buffed, put the controls back together and installeythem plus mocked in the headlight so i can start on the wind screen   S1owner Posted on Monday, April 13, 2015 - 09:42 pm:        Would like someone with an S1 to give me a measurement from center of front axle to center of back axle.   Blks1l Posted on Monday, April 13, 2015 - 11:35 pm:        I measured 54 7/16.   Catfish_ssffss Posted on Monday, April 13, 2015 - 11:53 pm:        What fork mounts and headlight are you using?   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 - 06:45 am:        Vrod headlight   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 - 08:56 am:        I have X1 mounts on there I did have custom mounts from Purpony but cuold not get them to sit exactly where I wanted the light due to the tapered leg but they were awesome mounts   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 - 08:57 am:        I am somewhat stuck here at the moment waiting for my bonus so I can buy some of the last bits and pieces.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, April 19, 2015 - 07:27 pm:        Here she is standing on her own! Kick stand almost done have the upgraded XB pin on its way have to adjust the height so it leans a little more but its getting there! You can see the other ride in the back ground.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, April 19, 2015 - 07:47 pm:        Stunning! Hope mine comes out half as good.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, April 19, 2015 - 11:03 pm:        Here is the progression When purchased Got through the first year needed lots of work still PO did nothing This was done but went down 2 weeks after!   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 01:43 pm:        Well 54 7/16 center to center according to the above for an S1 which this started as and it is now 59 " center to center of the axle.   Ceejay Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 - 10:21 pm:        Did you drop the ride height? That's a pretty big difference, IIRC mine bumped to 57.25 and Jodie was up around 57.75. We attributed the difference to the steering angle(mine started as an M2, his I believe started as an S3), with yours starting life as an S1 with the steepest rake of them all I figured it would be around 56.75-57". I just ask because I like geometry, regardless it's coming together nicely and looks excellent!   Purpony Posted on Thursday, April 23, 2015 - 09:43 am:        It started life as an S1, But he is now using an X1 frame- therefore its an X1. I believe the X1 wheelbase is 55.5" stock. coming together nicely Ken! (Message edited by purpony on April 23, 2015)
