Custom short tail for X1s

[NwRider]

I will let you know newyorkbuell. Thanks guys I hope to be able to work on it this weekend. I have to make time to take care of the snapped bolts situation so I can ride it to my friends shop. Hell... if I dont I may just trailer it.

I did not find a paint code but I did find someone who says they can mix that color. But I also found out its actually powder coated. I think I will make it match one way or another.

[NwRider]

Broken engine mount bolts came out without a fuss! Here are some progress photos. Lower supports are just tacked in and it sits higher than it will when completed. Got my crossroads bars on and need to make a dashboard and brackets for my XB lamps. It is nice to finally see my idea on my bike. Hope to be riding next Sunday!!!!

looks great!! I really like it.

Did you get my last PM?

 

[pur pony]

also, glad you got the broken front bolts out... could have been a nightmare!! I just replaced my for the heck of it.. lol.

 

[NwRider]

PM replied to sir and thanks.

Yea.. I was more than happy they came out easy. Since they sheared off and did not snap due to being stuck, the one with visible threads came out with vise-grips and the other broke loose when drilling it and came out with ease.

that looks like 10000 times better!![up][up] I hope you find that paint code or powder coat code.

 

[NwRider]

I found the company that did the original powder coat through a member here. Unfortunately the powder they had was so old they tossed it out. They shared their vendor info with me but they will only mix 5lbs at a time for $150. Found a guy who said he could match the paint but he isn't returning emails. Sigh. I hate to break down and buy 20x the powder I need but... maybe I will. I spose I could sell some to fellow Nuc Blue Buellers. Any body wanna go in on some powder?!?!? Ha.

 

[NwRider]

Wait... my cheesy rendering was 100000 times better, the real deal is only 10000 times better? Where did I go wrong?!?!? Hahaha. Thanks Batman. I dig it!

 

[batman6669]

Oops did I forget a 0 hahaha sorry. That makes me want a X1! You are on my wife's shit list my friend, but that's ok I don't think I have ever been off of it.

 

[pur pony]

talk to powderbuythepound. If you send them a sample, they will mix and match powder for you as well... Tell them the name and what it is for and then they can carry it for all other tuber owners as well.

 

[NwRider]

Thanks pur... ill call them tomorrow. As soon as its finished I am going to want color ASAP!

Batman... buy your wife an x1. Problem solved?

 

[batman6669]
