| Newfie_buell |

How would an FB tail section and seat look on a Cyclone? BTW the FB fairing looks great. Mike | ||
| Bads1 |
The frame is to long on the M2 for the Firebolt tailsection without some modifying.Or will it???? | ||
| Nevco1 |
Hey Spidey... How about some crash bars with casters. You know, kinda like Keith Code's leaning machine. Might work in helping reduce your times in B-Trax as well as keeping old Mary Jane out of the hospital.  | ||
| Spiderman |
LOL thanks Nev. Dana, The tail will fit BUT the lower support tubes hang out. | ||

I love those Titanium rims. I wanted to see how they would look on my grey M2? I wish I knew someone arund Milwaukee who had a set I could compare them with. | ||
| Spiderman |
Update Detroit:::: Got a set of WP forks from a S2!! Looks GREAT! Now can anyone mail me a copy of the directions for these forks, IE fluid capacity disasembly ETC. | ||
| Koz5150 |
One of the few things I don't like about the XB bikes is that the lines of the bike don't really flow. If you look at the pic above of the M2 and drop the XB fairing just a little so the bottom of the fairing matches the bottom of the tank. I would also try to bring the fairing back closer to the bike if possible. That would look super sweet! | ||
| Dynarider |
On the XB's isnt the faring mounted to the frame? How is that going to work on the M2? Cant mount it to the forks or you wont be able to turn the bars at all. | ||
| Lake_bueller |
He'll probably weld a couple of mounting tabs so it mounts similar to the S2/S3 front fairing. At least that's what I'd do (I think). It should be a fairly easy process in the overall scheme of things. | ||
| Spiderman |
Dyna, I have already done clearance tests an eveything works out just fine. Close Lake close. I used the top mounting from the S3 took a little grinding, an All I have to do is fab a bracket for the lower mounting hole. Koz, Imposible. Everyone. Need those S2 fork diagrams if anyone has one wink wink Court or FMJ.  | ||

On the XB's isnt the faring mounted to the frame?  | ||
| Spiderman |
Yes it is, an so is my Faring. Just a little more work involved cause of the S3 mounts. | ||
| Firemanjim |
Spidey,I have them but am at firehouse next couple of days if you are not in any hurry I can copy and send to you.Or do you just need specs. | ||
| Spiderman |
no big rush. I would like copies to keep on hand basically for tear down etc. THANKS!!! | ||
| Glitch |
Spidey: You got mail... | ||
| Crusty |
Spidey, get the December issue of Iron Works magazine. There's an article on building a "Jesse James" style chopper; I think it's on page 36. Check out the wheels. They'd look pretty good on Mary Jane, don't you think? | ||
| Glitch |
Something like this? | ||
| Glitch |
And paint the fairing...  | ||
| Spiderman |
Yeah I seen those about 6 months ago. But they are rather expensive. So I am gonna stick with the stockers for a while. | ||
| Newfie_buell |
Spidey, A couple nights ago the boys on "American Chopper" built the Black Widow Bike and had a Custom Web front wheel that was powdercoated red. Was totally awesome!!!!! I bet the spiderman paint for the fairing would be easy to replicate though!!!!!You could almost do it with the stick on graphics and then clear over them. I am sure a few on here are graphic disigners and could probably help. | ||

Glitch, I love that fairing treatment. nice work. | ||
| Glitch |
Thanks! | ||
