Interesting kickstand location. I guess you'd need to switch to the XB stand. Liking what you got going on! |

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.

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. |

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.

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! |

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) |
