| Rick_a |

| S1owner |
Good start lets here about it! If yoe need anything talk to me i have a few parts around | ||
| Led |
Is that all you have to start with??? Or is the rest of the bike, laying all over, out in the garage??? (Message edited by Led on January 24, 2013) | ||

What you see is what I am starting with... It has clean title and I already re titled in my name, as far as the state is concerned it is a complete motorcycle. I have many spares from other projects, but this one is going to be special, so not many of those parts will end up in this bike. I have also been buying up Old New Stock parts for the last two years, specifically with this scratch build in mind. Laying out my engine plans as we speak and the frame goes to the powder coater next week.  Ken, I will let you know if I need anything. Thanks! | ||

Yes.......I understand the frame is considered a "motorcycle" by the DMV........whether THAT is all there is, or NOT!!! LOL!!! I cannot wait to see what becomes of this project!!!!  | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Coolness, looking forward to the updates! | ||

So long as you're starting from pretty much nothing, I wonder what sort of WRONG engines could be fit in there? An old Ducati monster engine perhaps? The casings are probably not strong enough but still fun to ponder | ||

 Not to invade your thread but heres my new project! 2000 M2 | ||
| Kc_zombie |
Sweet! Extreme tuber build off! Keep your progress going here and lets see which way we each go. | ||
| Kc_zombie |
Some more NOS came in today...  | ||
| S1owner |
Nice I have a harness, front rotor, headlight, bars and a few other parts but i have to get my other bike back together first! | ||
| S1owner |
Vince What swing arm are you looking to use? I will not need the aluminum one i have if you are interested. | ||
| Kc_zombie |
I would like to score a metmachex, but I am also considering the cast 99-02 style, is that what your referring too? I imagine you are thinking XB arm and shock relocate for yours... | ||
| S1owner |
You are correct and it isctge aluminum cast arm i have tge axle and spacers also so if you decide thats the way you want to go let me know! On another note is there a chart somewhere that shows what triple tree setups fit other bikes is the ninja ones or something i sm just digging for options? | ||
| Kc_zombie |
I will give it some thought. In the middle of a three front war right now, frame up on a 90 Fat Boy, engine rebuild on the 08 Busa drag bike and the S1 project bike. I should be able to come up for air next week week, I will let you know then on the arm, if thats ok. Can't offer any help on the triple trees.. | ||
| Kc_zombie |

In this strange world we live in ,there are two kinds of people! those that destroy buells to make money or unrideable creatures and those that put them back together to use them where they are made for! Keep up the good work there guy's  (Message edited by Brother in buells on February 22, 2013) | ||
