Hi everyone. I'm looking for honest opinions of the bike and don't worry i have thick skin.I know everyone has different tastes and i saved all the parts to put her back stock if you feel i killed another buell. lol The reason im asking because there is a bike show tomorrow and was thinking of entering but i could be just kidding myself and wasting my time and money. So what does everyone think? Thanks

I like it! I don't think you ruined it's "Buellness". Aesthetically, the tail section looks nice, but a bit big proportionally. It looses that "charging bull" feel that I like so much about the tubers....

If you like it - go for it (I happen to like it as well, but I do agree with Rep on the tail). Looks like a lot of hard work to get it where you wanted it. Enter it - good luck! Kilroy |

Thanks guys.I agree with you guys totally about the tail i originally wanted to put an s1 solo tail one it but couldn't find one at the time. im making a display board to detail all the mods and so i can list whats in my fully built motor they cant see. It started its life as a 98 S3. |

I dig it... but then again my x1 is kind of a mutant. The tail seems a little large too me but I am fan of anything unique and that it is. I like that flat black.. especially on your forks and triples. I want to that to mine.. looks sweet with the lower legs blacked out too. Its your bike. Make it your own... just dont cut anything that cant be replaced.. just in case! Ha! |

Dunno, I googled it up. It was posted on this site. Yeah, I think so. Right side up forks, but an S1 tail section. I think that's an M2 swingarm also. |

I don't know, I think the tail looks alright. Kinda like a M2 tail with the sides flared out. I'd like to see a pic from the rear showing how wide it is. I say enter it, it can only give you experience for the next time. |

I like it. With the color scheme and larger tail it starts getting the waspish look or maybe we could call it Bumblebee. The shape reminds me a bit of Britten. Does the color of the star on the back match the color up front? Its your blood, sweat and tears. Be proud of it. |

Looks like the Airtech Manta4 tail section. Nice looking bike. I like it. You didn't chop a M2 into something it shouldn't be. It's your variation and you should be proud. Besides, opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has one and most of them stink. If you dig it, who cares what anyone else thinks. |

ENTER! Especially since you have a 'thick skin'. Tail if fine, we don't know how big you are! Don't like the "Mutant" label, is my opinion. And paint the swingarm black, needs some balance there. |

I dig the paint, a lot. I also agree with the tail looking a bit out of sync with the rest of the bike. Lots of nice details there, especially like the girl with the stringy thing on her hip. |
