Not digging the BMW headlight assembly, but creative none the less. | ||
| Froggy |
I love it!  And nobody will tell him hes got a headlight out | ||
| Metalstorm |
I don't like the lights either. It looks like came out of the losing end of a bar fight. The rest of it however is HOT!!!! | ||

The CF frame protectors are attached with zip ties, the whole bike looks overkill, way too much stuff going on. bMWuell? Huh? I think this smiley fits it best-  | ||

He is doing it his way. I like the head lights. I bet it is better performing than our stock setup. There are a number of almosts on the bike, but still better than stock. | ||
| Weirtech |
yeah, i think there is too much going on. it looks like the bike is trying to be something it's not. i prefer a nice simple clean look. | ||

the whole bike looks overkill And these sunglasses aren't?   to each, his own.  | ||

I don't get it. "Different in every sense" .. yet lots of riders who do something radical to their Buell receive criticism. I thought that radical was the point of having a Buell. I like it, and like someone else mentioned - I bet those lights are more functional than the stock setup. As for the rest of the bike, it's not really my cup-o-tea but it is unique.  | ||

Props if he did all the work himself BUT... I don't like it. | ||

A little busy, but I like the headlights. | ||

I laid my bike down last fall and I have this huge dent, crater really, in the right side of my frame where the puck was. After some advise from riders on this site, frame protectors were the best option for covering it up. After seeing that bike with frame protectors on it I definitely want to do that but whats up with the zip ties? Do these not fit right? Anybody go any ideas on a brand or something that does not require zip ties? | ||
| Mortarmanmike120 |
Not diggin in at all. Just my opinion. Hope he enjoys the hell out of it. | ||
| Augustus74 |
He probably has the zip ties in case he wants to take the frame covers off - would most likely destroy the c/f trying to take it off. | ||

I like the lights too but there's a few too many stickers for my taste. Some people say stickers add horsepower...lol. | ||

I like the air box cover. Custom? or can you order that somewhere? | ||
| Hobbes |
That's pretty unique and I really dig that headlight set up. | ||
| The_italian_job |
the airbox cover can be ordered from lorandi resine (www.lorandiresine.it). | ||

I like the air box too. Almost as much as the one with a butterfly scoop (Itialian-jobs) But alot going on with that bike.. | ||
| Ochoa0042 |
I dont think its from lorandi resine, its not on their site, and i do remember seeing it elsewhere, but not with the 'charger' cut through.... | ||
| Froggy |
I believe Treadmarks has the same or similar cover. | ||
| Smokescreen |
trojan sells it. designed to put a hypercharger on the intake of a xb. should be on their website. | ||
| Oxygen151 |
I really like the blue colormatched hardware he used. | ||
| Zatco81 |
the airbox cover can be ordered from lorandi resine (www.lorandiresine.it). Some cool stuff on that site...look for the "english" link on the far right. | ||
| Zorton |
i dont like it but it is unique and someone put some time and $$ into it so that i give credit for! | ||
| Blackxb9 |
less would be more in this case, but to each their own. | ||

Somebody has to push the envelope, the Italians certainly know how to do that. Have you seen the current state of Scuderia Ferrari's F1 effort? Wings,winglets,cannards all manner of air-shaping and manipulating devices hang off F-1 cars now. And if this is off the shelf carbon then its nothing new or all that outlandish. It's merely manipulating the air that surrounds the bike normally at speed and putting it to better use, to make HORSEPOWER rather than DRAG! It probably even adds a tiny bit of down-force. Went a lil sticker happy at the end but even my eight year old knows stickers make it go faster, (right, Dad). | ||

http://www.kompo-tech.com/catalog/product_info.php ?cPath=24_36&products_id=52 my bad, the airbox cover is from this site. the lorandi resine is similar but it doesn't have the 2 scoops coming down the frame. |
