Woah.

That looks SHARP.

I wouldn't want to keep it clean, but... man, that looks *good*!

(my idea of a bike wash is riding through a rainstorm)

Outside of the timing cover, I really like that! Frame looks awesome in white!

Wash it in the rain is my way as well. Just my version of the white lightning. Dirty bike means it's ridden. I think the only time I'll actually wash it is if I show it ( rolling advertisement for my powder coat shop)

White hides dirt. Besides, that's a smooth finish, vs. the factory rough finish. I think it'll be easier to keep clean.

Shore is purdy!

Looks great. I can't even imagine how many hours you put into it.






Next year you need to do the yellow/green.

That is very well done - really nails a minimalist look.

That is going to turn some heads, nice job, almost too purty to ride, almost.

this is just an idea but since your going for the white lightning theme you should do the headers blue like the x1w.

Any way it looks awesome

on a side note you need to pull down the boot on your clutch cable.

Was going to ceramic the headers but Im a big fan of the polished stainless, clutch boot is up because I have to adjust it. Thanks for the feedback guys

Was going to do front mount/ isolator but the rubber insert won't stand the heat. Also still have forks to do but that will wait until next oil change

That's a fine looking machine. You say it's now road ready, does that mean it might make an appearance at the BBQ run?
