Yes they are! The pics were shot at Bartel HD in California just before the movie was filmed. | ||

what was done to your pictures to achieve that effect Fernando? I like it - and I like your bike! | ||

This has been an awesome event. Approx 150 buells in Riccione, by the adriatic sea. This pic was taken by a professionl photographer who will publish an article on a Italian magazine. I do not even know him, but he added me on facebook. He liked very much the blu headers and the blue stripes on the asphalt! This is my new tube frame (i already own a CR) and it has been a lucky shot. Only 5000 miles on it, and a very good price for the italian market. She's my new baby! Love it sooooo much! I'll try to post some pics of the event in the quick board tomorrow! (Message edited by Palmer on September 15, 2010) | ||

VERY nice work!!! Looks like the engine had a few "issues", what happened? If you don't mind me asking, why are the primary screws wired together? | ||

Front exhaust valve seized and met the piston head-on. Neither fared the meeting too well  btw, the engine had 6677 miles on it when all of that damage happened. I'm guessing the oil had either never been changed since the bike was new, or the engine was revved close to redline with cold oil. Primary and cam cover screws are all safety wired together for a couple different reasons. The method used when safety wiring fasteners together pulls each screw "tighter" because it is attached to the next screw in the sequence. (check out the diagram below) Also, it was one more thing to make the bike look unique and show some attention to detail in my first rebuild project. One of the cool benefits is - no need for loctite on anything that gets safety wired. Everything that I safety wired got anti-seize, so if it ever comes apart again it will be really easy to cut the wire and remove the fasteners. The rear sprocket bolts are all safety wired as well as the bolts that hold the swingarm mounting block to the engine case. I finally got tired of burning through titanium drill bits just to put the safety wire holes in the chrome plated bolts, or there would have been more safety wired fasteners.  | ||

your bike is outstanding PK, simple but yet with that attention to details that makes it stand up. I always admired it, my compliments... | ||

Here`s a few pics of my Millennium X1, still upgrading her, but the parts here in the United Kingdom are far more expensive than you lads in the states have to pay. Regards, Clive. P.S. I have kept all the original X1 Millennium parts just in case I want to put her back to original trim.    (Message edited by winston on September 17, 2010) | ||

Always one of my favorite colors. By the way . . . that Onyx with PM rims is identical to the very first X1 that was totaled. Seems to have failed it's first flying lesson off a cliff near Bryce Canyon trying to keep up with Tim Carrithers. Bike disappeared. Reported to never have existed. I accidentally sneaked into a vacant warehouse at 2am and accidentally took photos. I know nothing. . . .my memory is clouded. |
