Very nice, only thing missing is the ceramic coated blue headers.

Jens,

I heard a rumor of a slipper clutch from Hillbilly-Motors-Motors. Can you comment?

Jim

No offense to you Smokescreen, and I do dig your bike, but it looks like there is a lot more in to their White Lightning than yours. Their entire bike is the White Lightning, but yours is mostly the plastics only. Like I said, no offense, and I do dig your bike. Apples to Oranges. No if U4euh had went with white and blue instead of black and blue we would have a comparison.

too much white is hard to keep clean. I ride the hell out of mine so it doesn't get a bath very often. I like what they did too, I just did mine for probably like 1/10th of what they spent, so I'm happy.

M1combat, what you like to hear? (-: My point is known. I see no Buells in front of any toplevel competitions without a clutchsystem what remove rearwheel chattering and protect the engine against overreeving at downshifting.

Not so sure about the spoked wheels. Seems like that would be a weak point over time.

I have always wanted to see how an XB could look as a white. I don't think this one is complete though. The blue headers are a must. And I am not a fan of the wire spoke wheels. So very close.

looking good Jens.

Nice detail work. I like the fork pre-load adjusters. I've never seen anything like those before.

The wire wheels get the from me. Then again I like the motard style.

Can't wait to see it with the blue header. Be sure to keep us updated.

Thanks to you all for the friendly feedback.

Indy, no thats waterbased paint.

Pupu, no the steeringdamper is fixed over a bracket coming out under the lamps assembled to the steeringhead.

Paulson, we have a set of white painted original wheels made, thats too much! -we think. But the good thing is that everybody like a different style.

Brian, I will do that.
