Tail is 100 percent custom to high for my taste loke how short it is. Come this winter I will have a large black manta tank for sale

What's the point if the oil tank hangs out like it does not belong there any more . Not very well thought out in my opinion .

Actually might not look that bad if the tail section were longer and sat lower. The super stubby/up in the air look ain't gettin' it. I'm guessing he was going for the Robo-Cop theme here. It needs a horn that honks: "Thank you for your cooperation."

My opinion...
Get it, refresh it with an XB swingarm.

I really like the setting for the photo's, almost no_rice like!

That's an X1...there was only one size tank on them, and it's a cover. Not a manta tank.

Just sayin'.

I new that I looked on his profile and he owns an S1 which ussually means small tank thus a Manta will fit.

yes, a manta will fit an S1. It's what they put on S1W's.

A manta is not what is in the photos. If the OP wants what's in the photos for their S1...it's not happening.

that tank would likely interfere with any handlebars other than the OEM's. Drag bars or Clip on's and a small tank and i would be in awe! The back half of the bike is very nice.

Chain looks way too tight. Looks like they put a little rub block near the drive pulley to try to keep it off the swingarm. It affects the part of the chain that is in tension under power. That won't last long.

I saw the bike at the 2014 homecoming, I thought it looked nice.

the tail is nice work, the whole looks unfinished, chain as stated above is too tight.
