Can't wait to see it with the finishing touches in place.   Rjn Posted on Thursday, October 01, 2015 - 01:00 pm:        Cool   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, October 06, 2015 - 10:19 am:        Po of the tank contacted me. Through this sight must have joined at some point. Wanted to buy the blue tank back! Me thinks he realized that selling it for $75.00 was not a great decision on his part. I sent him pics and politly declined.   Kc_zombie Posted on Tuesday, October 06, 2015 - 11:04 am:        Love the fuel gauge, reminds me of a piper cub. Very nice work Ken. It has been a pleasure following this post.   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, October 07, 2015 - 09:00 am:        Thanks Stole the sight gauge idea from the old bobber bikes. After I found out it is comonly used on planes   Hootowl Posted on Wednesday, October 07, 2015 - 04:34 pm:        Do you need the clamps on the sight tube?   Phelan Posted on Wednesday, October 07, 2015 - 06:15 pm:        It looks like he has safety wire on the tubes.   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, October 07, 2015 - 07:48 pm:        Very small stainless clamps are on there.   S1owner Posted on Thursday, October 08, 2015 - 03:15 pm:        Well the one and only machining guru comes through again for me Purpony without you, your skills, and your knowledge this would never have happened! #2 shout out to joesbuell without his skill and inovation in the first place I would not have even attempted this project!   S1owner Posted on Sunday, October 11, 2015 - 03:26 pm:        Took the bike on its first test run today. I had forgotten the power of this bike and now with the 1250 kit it pulls like crazy. Couple things to do Front caliper/brake is locking up Do not like the bars that low so I will install the taller clip ons https://youtu.be/T8oHrDTMnbE   Bluzm2 Posted on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 - 09:29 pm:        Ken, check to make sure your brake lever is all the way out and the bleed back hole isn't getting blocked. If it is, the brakes will drag and cause the caliper to heat up, this makes the brake fluid expand causing more friction and heat, etc. etc. Pretty soon the brake will lock up.   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 - 10:04 pm:        I will check it out   S1owner Posted on Thursday, October 15, 2015 - 06:06 pm:        First look at the seat!   S1owner Posted on Sunday, October 25, 2015 - 01:57 pm:        Got the seat back!   Brother_in_buells Posted on Sunday, October 25, 2015 - 02:54 pm:        Looks great!   Charlies_s1 Posted on Sunday, October 25, 2015 - 09:51 pm:        Nice job Ken, seat is awesome.   Phelan Posted on Sunday, October 25, 2015 - 10:02 pm:        Looks sweet!   Purpony Posted on Monday, October 26, 2015 - 09:56 am:        looking good Ken- who did the seat work?   S1owner Posted on Monday, October 26, 2015 - 10:24 am:        Nate Van Hofwegen Did the seat is very good he actually did the protyping for the new indians   Bluzm2 Posted on Monday, November 02, 2015 - 09:34 am:        Man that is looking good Ken!   S1owner Posted on Monday, November 02, 2015 - 08:03 pm:        Thanks Brad trying to figure the bars out. Did not like the low bars so have these clip ons but the 7/8 part is to small so may need to make some.   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 - 07:57 am:        Been in a slump! Frustrated with bars etc need diffrent mirrors and front turns!   Valguard Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 - 10:53 am:        This is bad ass. Love it. Very nice work!   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 - 09:30 pm:        Thanks David much appreciated   S1owner Posted on Friday, November 27, 2015 - 06:15 pm:        Well not happy with the bars, not happy with the dash, not happy with the hand controls. So they are all off. Starting new in that area!
