Jason The fab work is really not all that extreme. 1) Chassis mods are essentially installing an extra frame member - quite similar to the aftermarket frame brace that is available for the S1, this was a fairly typical modification for Buell Pro Thunder Race chassis. In addition, to enable the front end assembly (when I bought the chassis, it had been cannibalized for a custom cruiser build, so it had no forks or triples), I first designed a billet lug that was welded to the steering tube, which carried mounting features for the 9R/12R magnesium dash. Once I bought the Ducati (996) front end, I designed a steering stem and top nut that would interface with the stock Buell bearings and the Ducati upper and lower. The stem and nut were turned out of ETD 150 (elevated temperature drawn 150 steel). 2) The swingarm is a Pro Thunder piece. Again, standard practice was to weld additional support structure to the underside of the stock swingarm. Tubular steel members add a significant degree of torsional stiffness to the stock swing arm. Additionally, my cases and swingarm mount block are clearanced for a chain drive conversion - although I currently run a belt. 3) With the 9/12R front dash section, the XB race body work actually fit quite nicely, only requiring a couple of additional mounts coming off of the chassis. Some simple clamps, with bent aluminum tubing attached, with a "well nut" stuffed in the ends reach out and support the upper fairing cleanly. 4) The exhaust system was hand fit, starting with stock, which was then cut and redirected a bit to clear the bodywork. 5) The oil tank is probably the most significant piece of fabrication, and is also a Pro Thunder piece. Extra oil capacity, superior cooling, and ease of draining were the reasons for this piece. I purchased this piece from the same supplier to the ProThunder teams. Keep in mind, if you're not into full body work, that this vehicle can convert back to a stock S1, with the exception of the dash - but you could run a 9/12R front fairing piece, with the rest of the vehicle being S1. I do have all the bodywork to accomplish this as well. If you really wanted the full stock look, you could also accomplish this, but you would need a stock front end - which I do not have. |
