Yah:D:D saw this on the web recently.. looks sick... I guess you're going to show it? best of luck with that... the gas mask is, well some might say, redonkulous[up]
 
Nice! I personally love the gas mask. Can we see a front on picture? I would go all black in a minute if I thought it was safe. I've always ridden the brightest motorcycles possible to give me a slight chance at survival.
 
thnx, guys. i'll post some more pics.

v12tiger, you might have seen mention of a local show i put it in. not really my thing but i was meeting up with some friends for the day. bike took home an award. fun day but would have rather been riding ;)

buellxb, sure, i'll throw a front shot up with some other pics.. .
 
Where did you get that gas mask? I have to have it. The riding position looks really aggressive. Did you just adjust the rear spring? Does the aggressive riding position make it easier to ride at high speeds? Wind?
 
gas mask is a real British Avon unit that i modified to fit the XB headlight. picked it up from a military surplus vendor. the tail has been lifted with cast spacers, the bars lowered with MX bars, see pic. front and rear suspension are stock. riding position is more aggressive, great for street duty, not as good as clip-ons for twisty duty. riding in the wind above 80mph still sucks just as much as stock ;)
 
This is probably one of the most tasteful custom Buells I have seen yet. Great work, I love it. Where did you get your spacers for the tail? I have a SCG and I'd love to raise it up a bit without fooling with the suspension.
 
thanks! pretty much all parts came direct from the maker, see list above. i don't even want to know how much extra i paid in exchange rates and shipping. hahaa. such is life with no cool ***** in the states.

tail spacers are from pM-Performance in Switzerland ($300US) or you can get spacers from Frank-Parts in Germany but I forget the price.
 
Oh, what seat is that? Is it the stocker? How did you re-fit it with the tail spacers? Doesn't that change the angle?
 
yeah, thats the stock S seat. you gotta jam it on a bit, pushes into the 'tank'. i'm going to pick up a cheap pan, trim it then get a custom seat made. probably do that over the winter along with MORE BLACK. :D
 
Very Cool typeone. Super clean bike. I have to tell you...I think the gas mask in the front is very creative. You've inspired me to trick out the lights for my bike a little. I was gonna get a mask just like you did (giving you all the credit when asked of course) but have decided to go a different route. We have done a lot of similar mods, but my bike isn't blacked out quite as much. I'll post some pics when I get a chance.
