frame, wheels and swing arm back from the powder coaters. I have powder coated most of the small parts myself. I have machined the triples to take pro-tapers. The milled dash is almost ready. I updated to the alloy swing arm. I have a xb oil-cooler. I am making my own brake and shifting levers. I made an engine stand so I can start to clean and do some coating there.  | ||

Why do all that work and keep those front forks? | ||
| Deant |
I might still add the forks in the future. But i dont ride hard enough (getting old) to use the difference, When the old ones leak its not as big of a deal as when the inverts dump 1/2 a quart of oil all over the place. | ||

Paint looks good but remember why camo was developed: It works. Drivers will not see you as easily and, if a driver does hit you, he may have an excuse if he says he did not see you. If I planned to ride a stealth camo bike, I would wear a florescent "Base Vest". | ||
| Deant |
Might just have to make the bike louder then they can wonder where all that noise is coming from? | ||
| Deant |
done some more added two colors to camo front wheel and brake on most of wiring in place.  | ||

black MX boots for those shiny forks? | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Naw Danny, but I like your thought there, how bout them black deflector shields that stick up and guard the slider would look pretty tough. Dean, looks great! I'm diggin' your vision sir. | ||

If you want fork gaiters (boots), the Triumph 2001-2010 Bonneville / Scrambler work great on the M2 Showa 43 mm forks. You have to radius the inside of the fork brace a little, but no other mods. I picked up a pair here. http://smmotorco.com/index.php?main_page=product_i nfo&cPath=19&products_id=772 | ||

bearing into swing arm and swing arm to motor tonight. Also should get the third color on the tank. hope to put the motor in tuesday. Weather was nice enough to ride to work this AM and I had to take the Roadking. I also got some of the red white and blue Buell tank stickers. | ||
| Deant |
heart of the beast back in and a splash of color to the paint job.  | ||
| Deant |
all one pile waiting on shock and cable. Then its fluids and adjustments.  | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Looks freakin awesome! Was that you talking about doing up a bike for your son(marine?) a year or so ago? | ||
| Gixxer86g |
Holy s**t that is cool! | ||
| Deant |
thanks I am happy with the look so much i spent the cash on a worx shock.I was the one who started this last fall but i was the marine. I have a few marine emblems for the seatpan. i also am making new brake and shifting levers. I will get some better photos when I get her out in the light. I added the alloy swing arm, lightning tail, machined top triple to take mounts for protapers.The gauges are in a billet dash I still have to finish the mount. I decided that a high dollar paint job on a tank that bubbles wasnt a chance I wanted to take. I used rattle cans and it turned out nice. | ||

| Jkgonzo |
Looks cool, definitely one of a kind!! | ||
| Deant |
best tank pic i have until I get it out into the sun.  | ||
| Mtjm2 |
DUDE ! I hope that project will be at Rolling Thunder . You deserve it . So where did you get the decal ? | ||
| Deant |
the decal came from american torque on eb*y it is a nice decal and I shot clear over it with no problem. | ||
| Littlebuggles |
That emblem is great, I thought it was just a flag, not the Buell lettering too. Seeing the whole bike I think Dannybuell had a much better vision of how it it would work out. Fork boots would looks sharp. Thanks for your service! | ||
