SWEET X1!

Does the muffler just hang on clamped to the header outlet with no means of support at the rear? Even though the muffler appears smaller (and assumed lighter) than other tuber mufflers I'd be worried about the lack of support at the rear.

Suddenly I'm 2 cents short,

+1 on the muffler support in the rear.
Other than that, I like what I see!

"Protip": add a strip of self-adhesive velcro at the intersection of the dashboard and the flyscreen to eliminate rattling.

What headlight is that? Does the outer ring in it light up like a halo?

Thanks! I'm in Squamish . Just north of Vancouver. Yes that headlight is also my turn signals. It's from a company called chromed hog. I also have the motodynamic led tail light aswell. The aircleaner is from a company called prospect performance. No passengers on this ride. I will see if I can find those brackets and let you know....The exhaust cost me a bottle of rye to get a Local stainless steel fabricator to roll and weld one up for me. The end cap is from a Vance and Hines exhaust. It is super light and has a nice low tone to it. Not high pitch or straight pipe loud but a nice crisp tone... I will post more pictures of the exhaust once I can get it fired up outside of the garage. Still raining allot here! Let's see some more finished projects! I know i wasn't the only one pimpin my ride this winter!

Like the grips too. Do they just slip over the bare bar?

I wish those grips just slipped over the bar...The Grips took some windex, some time and twisting action. The one side is on the bar bare The other is on a throttle tube on the bare bar.

Thanks again for the seat! My Old one was growing new life on it.

Bars just barely clear. my horn button and ignition button are like a quarter inch from hitting the tank on full lock.

No I don know what type of bar they are.They were on the bike when I bought it. I would compare them to a dirtbike handlebar.
Found the measuring tape.
Meres how they are measured.

Pullback: 3"
Rise: 2"
Center Width: 5 1/2"
