That was the beginning of this new project. M2 frame with a fiber glass body from a X1, a tank cover and 2 swingarm from a V-Rod. In the last time i became a rear shock from a 1125 CR and a front mask from a XB 12R  See you Tutte | ||

Holy sheet those are nice tubers  Great work! Can you tell me more about the suspension, wheels, sprocket, and brakes on the X-1? | ||
| Jayvee |

Hi Shoggin , thanks for the flowers 😀 The wheels are from PVM 10 Spoke in 6,25“ and 3,5“ x17, the Brakes in Front and back from Braking, the Suspension are Original only polished. The sprocket was made by a Buell Parts Dealer and Racer. He has an Store and he made many parts for Buell. When you need more Info, let me now. Greetings Tutte | ||

Hi friend's in the last weeks i made the pivot point for the tankcover and a little bit taller at the end. Near than 2 inch, i think that was better for the optic line.   A wise man say to me, you must build a bike like a shape from a woman. Big tits, small waist and a big butt!  | ||

The V-Rod cover was later really a cover. I will welding a Alu gastank. The Alu stick is the holder for the cover.  Yesterday i became a XB front mask and this weekend i will made the bracket. In front i have order a block of Alu   see you soon Greetings Frank | ||

Interesting project. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. | ||

I don't usually venture into this area, and now I am glad I've found it. You have done some amazing work, keep us posted please! | ||

On this weekend i will finished the bracket for the front fairing.     I will made same curves at the end and the side of the bracket. The 3 times adjustment it was only a fake, i need the space from the fairing to the front fender in the first position. Greetings Frank | ||
| Pwnzor |
Nice work! | ||
| Upthemaiden |
Are you welding tabs onto the front of your frame(or does your frame already come with them since M2s and S3s could share the same frame if they just made them all with tabs for the fairing)? Looks great so far! | ||
| Tutte |
Hi Upthemaiden, yes i use the Original tabs on the frame.  Greetings Frank | ||
| Shoggin |
So rad  I have a question if you don't mind. It looks like you're using a lower triple, upside down on the top. How did you work out the steering stem? I can't tell what that bolt-on black thing is? | ||
| Upthemaiden |
That makes sense. I have an S1 so I was unfamiliar with the tabs. I assumed the S3 had something similar. Wasn't sure if the M2 did or not. Shoggin, good catch on that top triple, curious about that as well. | ||
| Tutte |
Hi Shoggin and Upthemaiden, yes i'am use 2 of the lower triple. So that makes the X1 front fork near than 2 inches lower. I want to fixed a XB front end in the frame but this was to low and i mean the XB Race muffler scrashes at the ground. I want to fixed a XB Race muffler in the middle under the engine, because i build a new damper in the back of the frame. The XB steering stem was long enough to fixed an original XB front end in the tubeframe, but you lost the steering lock. The tube was to small to make the cut in the tube for the steering lock. You can used the bearing's from the tubeframe. They was in the same position and diameter, so you can change 1 to 1. I have used the tuber stem and make a small adapter for more length. The black thing was a steering nut from GILLES. https://www.gillestooling.com/produkte/design-zube hoer/acma-steuerkopfmutter/111/sicherheitsmutter-a cma-aluminium-m25x1-0-kit | ||

BTW, did anybody now's how was the paint code from the Nucelar Blue? I will paint the M2 after in the best color combo!! Nucelar Blue and Molton Orange. I have found the code for all paint , but nothing about the Blue. Frank | ||
| Tutte |
Here the adapter.  Greetings Frank | ||
| Shoggin |
Thanks for the info, it's looks cool! | ||

A wise man say to me, you must build a bike like a shape from a woman. Big tits, small waist and a big butt! The man is right. Do not forget to install widened rear wheel. For great looking motorcycle you basically need curved tank (tits), skinny short solo seat (waste) and fat rear tire (ass) And do not forget about pretty face too - it must be LSL Urban headlight or maybe that V-Rod small oval shaped headlight.

I have a 6,5 inch rear wheel here. Nice, that's wide but still functional. And do not forget about pretty face too - it must be LSL Urban headlight or maybe that V-Rod small oval shaped headlight. I don't know. I think all that off-the-shelf after market stuff looks like, well... exactly that. If the intention is to keep the cut down Firebolt fairing, that would be much better. | ||

I will install a small cutting XB front fairing. But i didn‘t now in witch position. A small pices at the original place or with a small distanz over the fairing. I think at the weekend i found the right Position. Greetings Tutte | ||
| Tpehak |
I have a 6,5 inch rear wheel here. Well, that's not good. That skinny wheel will ruin whole look. You need 240 mm rear wheel minimum | ||

@ Tpehak I will build this bike streetlegal here for Germany. It was important for me because i will ride this bike on the Street. I mean there was better for me because our Police are not so funny in this case Grüße Tutte |
