Yup.
I don't really think the lean is too bad on mine with the low kickstand but I'll check it out this weekend.
This is what's funny, September 18, 2008 was the last time I had her running. So two years to the day should be her first ride again. Kind of funny how that works out. |

Wilson, have you ever seen a S2 on the sidestand???? Your bike does not lean at all LOL.
I would not worry about it unless you jump up and down on it while it is on the sidestand..
Looks GREAT...

LOL. Guys, I haven't had a chance to go out and get photos of her (I mean good, taken with my DSLR camera photos).
It's not fully done, still awaiting foot controls (waiting on the peg relocators to show up), install correct pegs, pulley cover (hopefully I finally begged long enough to get the one I wanted), pulley skin, I cannot find the right headlight (I've gotten an X1 an S1 headlight and they don't fit, I need some S1 headlight/flyscreen mounts and a 97/98 M2 headlight), and need to get the PM 4-pot rear brake installed.
Between flying and working, I haven't rode her much. Been spending time in the sky!
I did, however, get a chance to ride a stock M2 (Pyrobee's), and he rode my beefed up M2. I will say that I cannot believe the ergonomics on a stock M2 feel THAT much different! I had my Corbin Gunfighter and Lady with the dished out rider seat, and Crossroads 7 degree down bars (much better position in my opinion). I felt like I was sitting up straight on that stock M2!
I awaited this update when I had some time between flying and working because I wanted to ride a stock M2 since it's been over two years since I rode mine and forgot what she felt like!
So...I will say, the power is DEFINITELY significantly different. There is more power available everywhere! My M2LXB from a rolling run will stand the front up with just flicking the throttle open wide. I can now even keep it up while shifting into 2nd and even pops up off the ground while shifting into 3rd. I haven't played aggressively with the wheelies as I have no rear brake (it's lost it's pressure).
This thing shifts like a DREAM! I asked Steve Mackay to polish the shifter drum and it's like butter.
The suspension is not set up completely for me yet (I need to call Traxxion and double check their settings on my Penske as it rubs my aluminum oil tank). I also need to setup the X1 Showa forks I have converted to. BUT, with this setup this bike handles well. I would like to say, it handles MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the stock M2 setup.
I installed Braking Wave Rotors front and rear and don't recall off hand the pads I'm running, but it stops well. I don't think that it's as grippy as stock, but not by much. I can't comment fully on this as I have no rear and the setup will change with the PM 4-pot caliper installation.
My favorite seat is the M2 Corbin Gunfighter & Lady because its rider seat is dished out and scoots you back much farther than stock, and lays me down nicely over the tank in combination with the low bars I run. I have been thinking of getting some straight Renthal bars, but not sure yet.

This build ended up taking TWO YEARS to the day to complete.
I have much appreciation to Brian (Tattodnscrewd) and Jason (Uwgrizzly) who built my bike after I lost all motivation. This bike arrived to them in boxes, transported by my car (who'd have thought a 1995 Toyota Camry could haul a motorcycle INSIDE without a trailer?).
The engine rode shotgun and wore its seatbelt for the journey from South Bend, IN to Milwaukee, WI. The frame rode in the backseat and luckily wasn't a backseat driver!
All of the other odds and ends were tucked in ever crevice I could find and the trunk was full. This is how the car looked loaded up:
So, after a awhile Brian and Jason talked me into the current motor configuration and away from a big bore kit I had purchased to match the XB heads I bought. I'd make periodic trips up to Milwaukee to "help" and deliver other parts that I'd forgotten to bring up before.
Finally, one day I got a text message with this photo:
HOLY SHIT! A motor! More pics a little while later:
Can anyone notice a booboo in this photo???
Yes, it was forgotten even after both told one another NOT TO FORGET IT!
Finally, something that resembles a bike!:
Body applied for a photo op:
Now after this point is was mind numbing tedious little things (mainly a poor fitment issue with the Metmachex oil tank), that were time consuming and didn't make much different cosmetically to the bike...
But, with a bloody finger or two and a few cartons of cigs and several cases of Mountain Dew later, finally completed:
Stock M2 on the right, my M2LXB on the left (notice the lean on the stand since the kickstand is an inch shorter than a stock M2):
Now, the day I came to get her I rented a Cargo Van since I couldn't score a truck/trailer. This worked out better because I ended up getting DUMPED on by Mother Nature with gobs of rain on the return trip!
Loaded up and ready to go (18 Sept 2010):
On the road:
Ordered a Carbon Fiber S2 Front fender from Al to install (but I don't have the damn hardware):
After hitting a HUGE bump, I noticed a problem, my tire rubbing my oil tank! So, I tighted up the rear suspension a bit and raised it a half of a turn and hopefully solved it:
And a photo from the first time ever getting to partake in the New Riding Game over in the QuickBoard:
Again, much thanks to some AWESOME friends who took my bike and resurrected it to the beautiful machine she is today! I cannot thank you enough guys! It would have never gotten done without you!
