so here they are, give me a few minutes to get them all up and yall will be able to see, i made some changes already, took off buell emblems, sticker on the tank to tell you how high to fill it, im stripping the front fender to start my tribal design that will go from the front fender, to flyscreen, to tank until i can save up for carbon fiber (wifes idea) in flat black so there is a nice contrast | ||

Do you know about the velcro behind the speedometer against the flyscreen trick? Because now you do  | ||

Great bike! What year? Jon Neet | ||

When you say you put a sticker on the tank to tell you how high to fill it, what exactly do you mean? | ||
| Tsispyder |
its a 2000 x1, there is a sticker that has a picture, telling you not to fill it ot the filler neck, only slightly below | ||
| Mikej |
Probably similar to the sticker below my M2's cap here:  | ||

Could you take a couple pictures of your fender eliminator? It looks like that was a garage job, but it looks good. Just wondering how that was done? | ||
| Tsispyder |
yeah i can get some, the previous owner did it. so i really dont know, im gonna get teh carbon fiber one lol | ||
| Cyclonemaniac |
Welcome to the tubular life! You're hooked for good now! Ha ha ha!   | ||
| Chasespeed |
Spyder, in my opinion, the one you have now, is gonna look better than the carbon fiber one.. I did something similar to what yoru bike has.. and my boy has the carbon one... I just dont like how it isnt flush with the tail section... Chase | ||
| Mmmi_grad |
Speaking of tribal stuff I am thinking about doing some carving on the stock rear fender. Like routing out some designs that go all the way through on the sides of the fender. I gota a rotazip and a fancy mac die grinder alot of carbon bits. After I cut out some designs... though I think im going to want to paint it black. I gota rob the bank anyway for flex primer and or flex agent for the paint may as well do it. First thought was flames but i dont think so . | ||
| Tsispyder |
Chase, i appreciate it for hte input, ill look into a metal plate of some sort to clean up the underside, Im getting together with some of my machine shop guys at work, and were gonna try and get something together eventually | ||

I bought the airtech and have not mounted it. It is fiberglass and unpainted... http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/buell/X19902.htm I'll let it go for $ 90.00 and I'll pay shipping.  | ||
| Tsispyder |
lol, no offense but if its fiberglass, i make it. buying fiberglass from people is too risky, every bike isnt the exact same, and there are always imperfections, if i make it myself, it can be exact. I appreciate the offer though | ||
| Chasespeed |
Spyder, dont discount AirTech's goods...every peice I have put my hands on from them, has been top notch... In fact, I recently ordered somethign from them myself.... Just a little FYI, is all... But yeah, I made a undertail outta aluminium, for right now, it only goes as far forward as yours, but, I am looking for another sheet, and wanna enclose the whole tailsection... An off topic question...how do ya'll keep that polished ally looking great? Chase | ||
| Tsispyder |
I use a mothers power ball get it at autozone for 22.99 or so Put some mothers mag polish, and buff away, it gets in all the holes nad crooks http://img491.imageshack.us/img491/6540/img09060ds.jpg | ||

Good choice of equipment Dewalt drills kick a$$ | ||
| Tsispyder |
yep, i stole it from my dad lol | ||
| Chasespeed |
well, that sucks, I was hoping for some clear coat alternative, etc...i dont like the maintance involved with polished ally.... But thanks Chase | ||
| Tsispyder |
yeah for real, In all honesty, you could get it painted, there is a chrome paint out now, but that still involves sanding etc. | ||
| Mmmi_grad |
where can i get one of those polish balls for my drill? | ||
| Chasespeed |
Well, I was intitially gonna paint the swing arm and tail black...then I was thinking about the polished ally....now, yeah, I am back to black... Chase | ||
| Wardan123 |
Chase, They have clear powder coat... Supposed to be great stuff. Polish tne metal and coat it? Wardan | ||
| Tsispyder |
Mmmi you can go to autozone, they are ont eh counter | ||
| Buellbozo |
spyder,got a hot tip for low maintenance pretty aluminum.is this the right forum?i'm a new badwebber.greg | ||
| Tsispyder |
yeah, make sure you do it one realllly good with 5 or 6 coats of mothers aluminum polish and the ball iw as talking about above, and wipe it down with a clean rag after you ride it, the polish will leave a layer on it that the dirt wont want to stick too. It saved my 3,000 One Off Volk rims lip doing this, stayed as shiny and new as day one, just took a rag and wiped it off at the end of the day before pullin it in the garage | ||
| Chasespeed |
See here is the thing, I am really liking the polished look.... BUT, the maintannace to keep in looking good, is freaking horrendous I hear..I ride mine EVERY day, rain or shine, and IF I am lucky, it gets cleaned once a month.... Chase | ||
| Tsispyder |
i wash my bike 2 times a week, at the beginning,and saturday, oh i got it fixed BTW, updated TB is cool, but the throttle doesnt want to spring back |
