By subframe, do you mean swingarm? |

yea my bad i was looking at subframes on ebay and so it was stuck on my mind. but any way im planning on building a bike out of random buell parts and i just got a x1 frame and wanted to use a xb front end (forks, fairing, brakes, and wheel) and was wondering if the rear wheel would fit also so i would have matching wheels. |

http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/164090.html?1133968857 that is a good thread..its got me wanting to do that to my S-3...maybe get some new updates from the old thread...i noticed that there is hardley any belt adjustment left on the rear axle as it looks like the belt is too short..no one ever told what belt would work.. |

it sure would be nice, if someone who has completed such a swap would give details on the spacers... or better yet, someone with a lathe would make some and sell them...how about a write up like the X-1 files did with the S-3 fairing mod...anybody? |
