thanks all - appreciate it. I have put a lot of time into designing and making parts for the bike but its hobby i really enjoy. I love to make things custom but with a clean almost factory look to them.
Ken, i have no idea how many hours i have into design and manufacturing, and don't want to think about it, haha.
Ken has a pretty good list of what i have made but off the top of my head-
rear pulley
front pulley cover
front pulley guard/engine support
rearsets
heel guards
peg mounts
shifter lever
shifter mount/pivot block/ linkage
brake lever
rear brake reservoir mount
subframe
electrics tray
undertail
tail light housing
marker plate mount
headlight mount/brackets
handlebar top clamp
switch housings
front reservoir mounts
XB oil cooler mount
oil pressure gauge mount
shock reservoir clamps
rear caliper bracket
rear wheel spacers
rear axle nut covers/sliders
seat cowl
handlebar switch wiring harness
Air filter housing
throttle body bracket
other parts i have modified-
XB triples ( top triple is shaved to remove the XB headlight mounts), machined to accept the X1 stem
rear swingarm - machined the brake slot through so i can remove the rear caliper without removing the rear wheel - also shaved a few of the mounts off it.
Cam cover trimmed
Pegasus catch can - welded studs on it to mount it to the XB oil cooler cover
Brembo rear 4 piston caliper, mounts trimmed and squared. Threaded holes removed and sleeved
I have also done all the powdercoating on the entire bike, along with the paint. |

Incredible craftsmanship, attention to detail and tastefully executed all around. The tail is probably the best looking X1 tail I've seen. It's not an easy one to get right, congrats all around. AMAZING |

No- oil tank is OEM... debating about buying a metmachex aluminum tank, or replace and relocate my battery with a lithium and make an aluminum tank that sits in the stock battery location. |

You could CNC all the panels necessary for a tank and then tig weld them together. Wouldn't have to hog out a solid billet. |

guess I'm just used to the M2 style as that's what I thought you had done, knocked all the panels out and welded it up…regardless, beautiful ride displaying excellent craftsmanship. |
