Just finished putting the bike back together. Odie at Special O.P.S. and fellow 3%er chopped the Cheese Grater for me and I must say, the man does outstanding work. Always a pleasure doing business with ya. SilverBullet another 3%er painted the Subframe and tail as well. You guys Rock!      | ||

That tail piece is the single most awesome improvement that can be made to a lightning! That looks frickin great. (Message edited by saintly on August 16, 2005) | ||

Is that the stock seat?? | ||

Impressive rack of weights there. Damn nice bike! | ||
| Odie |
B_S- looks sweet as usual!! | ||
| Black_sunshine |
Cmm213....That use to be Odie's stock 12 seat. I traded him my low one. Thanks for the compliments. | ||

Vortex here we come! Can't wait to see it Thursday. I like the subframe being black, nice touch. | ||
| Cowtown |
B_S, I’ve been thinking about painting my subframe black. Is that powder coating? Can you share any info on the color code? How does it match the plastics? | ||
| Black_sunshine |
Cowtown.....It's painted. You'll have to ask SilverBullet in the Storm Fronts section under 3% Bragging Rights Club. He painted it for me. It matches the plastic perfectly. | ||

B_S... How difficult was is to remove the subframes? You know how I do...I just masked mine off and painted them while on the bike. | ||
| Black_sunshine |
Stealth.....45 mins tops. Takes longer to take out the tail than the subframe. It only held on by 4 bolts. Now does that make you feel better that your only held on the bike with 4 bolts the diameter of a pencil? | ||

Now does that make you feel better that your only held on the bike with 4 bolts the diameter of a pencil? Like I didn't have enough to worry about thinking that my head is only held on by my spine!! Looks sharp Mr. Sunshine! Bet it would look even cooler with a carbon fiber under seat pan! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. | ||
| Cowtown |
B_S, thanks for the info. And the bolts aren't the week point.   | ||
| Phantom5oh |
OUCH!!! How in the heck did that happen?! | ||
| Cowtown |
The HD technician flipped it forward when a car pulled out in front of him. He broke his shoulder, the bike was totaled with only 547 miles on it and I got a brand new black bike. | ||
| Black_sunshine |
Wow!!!!!! Never thought it would break like that. Interesting way to get yourself a new color. | ||

I'm having a hell of a time getting a Rizoma tail for my bike. | ||
| Black_sunshine |
Rick.....not to burst your bubble but one of our boys (3%er) got the Rizoma tail and he said it fit like crap and wished he would of done something else. Go with Odie @ Special O.P.S.. He mods the stock piece so it fits perfect. I know he has one because I sent him my core exchange. Pretty inexpensive to boot. | ||

Rick, I'm the 3%er that got the Rizoma that Black_sunshine was speaking of. I had to wait forever to get it. It wasnt really what i expected. If you want it, I will sell it cheap. I have a little trick up my sleeve for the stocker. If i wasnt so particular about my bike, I really wouldnt have anything bad to say. I guess as with alot of things, the aftermarket just isnt always perfect. | ||

Cowtown, Flipped it up or flipped it over? It would take a pretty big impact to break that. What exactly happened? | ||
| Bonesbuell |
Looks like a stoppie gone bad | ||
| Cowtown |
When the car pulled out the technician grabbed a handful a brake creating a stoppie that didn’t stop. FYI, this tech has a XB12R. |
