       I promised you some pics soon and here they are. this will be my take for Daytona Bike Week next year, I'll try again with the X1 at the Rat's Hole. the S1 will be ready for the following year, I have a big project for that one. there are still few things I wanna review before the show that will be changed after NYE. a Penske shock, a Kooks exhaust if I still can find one other wise D&D or Force, rear pulley same design as the PM wheels, like the one I have on the S1, Wave Design front and rear discs and prob PM rear caliper (I already have the front one). hope you like it bro, next week will be ready...

THAT IS SICK BRO!!! Can't wait til I come back down there and see ya...hopefully it'll work out this time! Damn man, that thing is purdy...What color are the plastics going to be?!?!? Volcano Grey? If so, I know how to find the Audi color that matches... | ||
| Beachbuell |
NICE! Love the tires! | ||
| The_italian_job |
no Brinn. plastics will be black with some orange accents and a little white mother of pearl pin stipe, that's it. letters in the words will be orange, will say "Buell American MuscleCycles" on the tank and "X1-fighter" (name of the bike) on the Night-Rod flyscreen, right on the surrounding of the headlight. the whole bike will be orange and black, didn't wanna do too many colors in contrast. I really don't like that pulley but I have to suck it up for another couple of months. I really don't like the design of the stock one... | ||

The_italian_job, that looks great. I wish I had a garage like that. Working on the garage floor gets old. I need a lift. I know what you mean about the pully but if it was a different color from the frame it may look better. At least I hope so because that is what I am doing for the S2 custom I am building. I would really love to see your bikes in person sometime. Frank | ||

i definitely see another fine show bike job. can't wait to see some more pics. did wilson send you his frame. and wilson, if you head down to see him, go by way of tampa and you have a place to stay anytime you need it. | ||

"did wilson send you his frame." don't think so, that frame has the subframe mounting points, and the removable section for belt changes - both of which are unique to the X1. | ||

i think there is an alien living in your carb hole...not sure if it's an illegal alien or not.  | ||

Sweet bike. What kind of tires are those? | ||
| The_italian_job |
no, this bike was Andrew's, remember???    his nick should be Wardan, if I remember well... this is the bike I started from. it was in ok-conditions, good enough for my project. the engine is pretty fresh I must say, once opened we didn't find any problems. | ||
| The_italian_job |
Reducati, the X1 is a FI bike, no carb...  | ||
| The_italian_job |
Phelan, the tires are Avon Xtreme Rain, supermotard special tires. not cheap tires, but very unique... | ||
| The_italian_job |
F_Skinner, I'd love to show you my bikes in person one day. we don't live that far away, if one day you will pass by Miami, just let me know... | ||
| F_skinner |
You bet, I think I would love to hang out in that shop just to watch... (Message edited by f_skinner on October 19, 2009) | ||

Did you have that undertray welded in?? | ||
| Wardan123 |
Elegance and sophistication as only the Italian job could do it... I am awestruck. I'm glad you used your midas touch on it. Andrew | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Looks great, those triples are sweet! (short tail looks slick too) and I also dig the tires. Looking forward to pics of the complete bike. | ||
| The_italian_job |
Hey Andrew, good to hear from you after long time... I'm glad you like how I put down your X1, it fitted perfectly in my project. I envisioned this bike as a mean street-fighter and I'm sure it'll be like that once finished. stay tuned, I'd really like to have your opinion at the end... no Brinn, the short tail section comes with the undertray, no need to weld it... next week I'll post the pics of the bike completed. | ||
| Brinnutz |
Ahh...didn't think about the short tail til Mike sad something lol. | ||
| Kalali |
Great job. | ||
| Nevrenuf |
it looks like they did a nice job on the powdercoating. fyi, the orange/grey is eriks favorite color scheme but the black is gonna look great i'll bet. | ||
| Kalali |
The orange/grey is my favorite as well..Need the orange wheels to go with it to complete the package though. |
