thnx, guys. right, there are versions out there. i stole the idea from a Duc i saw in NYC a few years ago. (EDIT: that first link might be the Duc! the owner Michelle was super cool. sweet ride) over the winter i finally snagged a mask and started mod'ing to fit the XB headlight.

I dig the gas mask. The first bike I remember seeing it on was at a Streetfighter show in Germany in 2003, NOSfearatu. Unfortunately that was in the days before digital, so I had to steal this pic off the net:

"are you guys using an undertail kit? or did you cut the tail section off yurself?" Some are using kits and some chopped their own. I chopped mine using some metal working skills. It's actually very easy if you know how to use a 4.5" grinder with an aluminum grinding wheel, some sanding disks, and a little careful patience. Pic attached.

I'm pretty sure it's a euro one. Freespirit or something? |

trojan, where is that tail light from and how can I get one? We no longer sell these I'm afraid. We had some issues with fit and finish on some units that we were not happy with. The unit was basically a carbon fibre tail unit with a Honda Fireblade LED rear light unit fitted inside it. The shape of the tail lights that you can see was produced by cutting holes in the carbon tail unit. |

Gentleman Jon-Nice sliders and other details. Can you give specifics as to how you fabricated them? Altima- I like your placement of the dragon. I will need to rethink mine. Thanks Paul |

Paul, Thanks for the props on the sliders. They are made from Ricta Crystal skate board sliders. Ricta has literally hundreds of color combinations. I has used black with yellow centers on my old yellow XB9. The rear ones simple bolt to the swing arm, which is a Hal's chain conversion swing arm. The front uses a through axle, composed of two polished stainless bolts that screw into a center threaded aluminum piece, which is locked to one bolt with a lock nut. This avoids the threaded rod look, which seems a bit crude to me, especially if one does not use stainless rod. A couple of stainless washers space the sliders off the fork or swing arm. Here are the parts:

Wow Brian, After all you have done to that thing. I didn't realize you had many problem's. I thought of a new brand also but I'm holding off till next year. I'd like to see what Buell is going to do this year and then a couple other make's. I may keep my bike and buy another. |
