Author Message   Nwrider Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 07:32 pm:        I had heard mention of these and also heard they are hard to come by and a bit rare. I would love one and think it would compliment my custom tail section that is in the works. I have exceeded my X1 budget for the next couple months! Would some one please purchase this, make a mold and offer it in carbon fiber!!! If you do I will purchase one in a couple months! http://cgi.ebay.com/Buell-X1-seat-cover-seat-cowl- /190561160592?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2c5e 548d90 Would there be a market for these if someone started making them again? Like I said I would love one in carbon fiber. Al... you could make this happen yes?   01x1buell Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 08:12 pm:        i think that is cool but i do not know how it would look on the bike.. any pic of a x1 with it on.   Nwrider Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 08:29 pm:        Not a great picture but here is a thread regarding one for sale here a while back. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 485725.html?1251778530   Purpony Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 10:03 pm:        i could cast them at work in urethane.   Nwrider Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 10:08 pm:        That would be better than glass but carbon would be sexier. I am half tempted to bid on that one.   Nwrider Posted on Monday, August 01, 2011 - 10:28 pm:        Meh.. almost 200 after shipping... maybe I need to learn how to lay up glass and make a better one.   Dutch_x1 Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 06:16 am:        Take a look on the forum: Cool buell motorcycle pics>>> july 20 2011>>> dutch x1 >>> http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/43/ 43.html?1312252162   Daywalker Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 08:36 am:        http://www.ukbeg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=11 679 Guy from the UK had some made and I think it is him selling them perhaps he could get them made in carbon?   Nwrider Posted on Tuesday, August 02, 2011 - 11:59 pm:        Nice... thanks guys... So I got curious and did a little research on making one for myself. The process looks pretty simple and I think I could pull it off. Plus I think I could design one that flows a little better. Sculpting a plug, making a mold and laying out glass on such a small part would be a good beginner project. I couldn't make a high quality carbon part but what would stop me from using carbon on the outer layer just for looks? Maybe if it turns out decent I could send you the plug to mold in urethane Purpony? This may be a winter project but sounds fun.   Nwrider Posted on Wednesday, August 03, 2011 - 12:01 am:        Oh... btw... I like your x1 dutch. Lot of nice X1s owned by badwebbers... hope mine will eventually rank up there with some of yours.
