Rex I can't stop looking at your bikeI want to see the otherside PLEASE! I also have alot of questions. Like, how do you like that 6spd, how much, is it an overdrive and where do I get one! Also what are the frame braces for? Are the frames a weak point? ALSO where do you guys get your performance parts from (best prices)?

I need to shrink my photos for the other side shot. will try to do.

Frame braces were added by the factory on future bikes, M2's etc. James Banke and Al from American Sport Bike created the after market one for bikes made without the brace.

Brakes are by Braking. I purchased them thru Al from American Sport Bike. They work great, not too touchy. Came as a complete unit. Expensive.

Six Speed. Bought from Al at American Sport Bike. We ordered two at once for a better price. Fieke from northern cal installed them in our bikes. I get about 80 mph in six gear at 3,000. Works great on the road.

Vallejo and Modesto Buell worked on my bike. Now I use Chandler custom cycles in Arizona, along with Jame Banke in northern cal.

here is the other side. I have taken the decals off of the bag, since they came with the bags off of ebay. Looks better solid black. I have also taken off the yellow pin striping off of the wheels. rex

Rex, your bike is bad ass, no doubt about it. I am not a huge fan of the front fairing and I normally hate the bread box, but your bike pulls them both off with style!

Rex, you have a kickass bike. Did you smooth and paint the bread box or did it come that way?

The bike looks great with those bags and breadbox. I love the 97-98 M2 slim tailsection/Manta tank combo.

Rex, why not powder-coat (or just paint) the Frame Brace you mention? Just wondering.
I notice you got the silver Inspection Cover on a black engine; I put the black one on my silver engine, we are reversed but thinking alike on that one.
Looks like you could use a Pegasus Timing Cover. The horsey would show just right between the pipes.

I can't make out the fork brace, is it blacked out too?

Very nice! I really like the use of Different Blacks kinda like a texture thing. What is the device on the frame rail just behind the heat shield on the rear cylinder exhaust?
