Johny Kidd's XB-12S -07

[Johny Kidd]

Hello fellows!

Newest updates I got my set of powdercoated parts now back! The Belt covers looks good imo but i havent had a chance of fitting them because my bike has no wheels

I also bought new adjustable levers with buell logo, biltwell point cover, xbdashboards plastic faceplate, Brembo rear brake caliper and headers from inFINite. I will send the new headers to ceramic coating and they will be coated inside & outside black.

I also painted fork legs black and now upper tubes + caps are waiting to be anodized (no pic yet)

Today we spent few hours with X1 and we finished the subframe! Tail is now powdercoated red with white licence place bracket and new dual tail light. Wheels were also powdercoated white! we had to fabricate new undertray from PE plastic because of new lights and modified licence plate bracket. Next step with X1 is to install the tail and move the horn from its original place inside the tail for cleaner look.

Nice, keep the pics coming as the progress continues

Very clean bike!!

 

[Johny Kidd]

X1 with tail installed.

powdercoated wheels for x1, waiting for bearing installation..
oh and my header, which will be ceramic coated! thanks inFINite!

 

[Johny Kidd]

Updates again.. Yesterday i polished the header and in few days i will send it for ceramic coating. small changes of plans concerning ceramic coating that it will be only coated outside because the header is used (impossible to coat inside used pipes). It will have two layers of coating outside, primer coating and black ceramic.

Today i disassembled two pairs of forks and they are going for anodizer in few weeks.. Outer tubes and fork caps will be anodized black. In the pic fork legs are now painted black

And X1 got new bearings and wheel tapes installed! Mi Vida Loca!

thanks for your interest!

 

[Johny Kidd]

Oh i forgot to mention, best of all i removed passenger pegs! permanently. [up]

 

[Johny Kidd]

X1 got new LSL Clip-on's! We will fabricate new lower panel for gauges and it will be mounted to the original handlebar riser.

My Bike is still waiting for parts, forks will be anodized on thursday and hopefully i'll get my header back from coater by next week.

You dont like the feeling of wonderful breasts resting against your back and the pleasure that comes from twisting the throttle open and feeling said breast push into your back even more along with the feeling of being embraced?

I do. I do alot!

 

[Johny Kidd]

Loki, my girl rides her own bike! I guess i'm the lucky one!

Thanks guys!

JOEL9, The seat was custom upholstered here in Finland. It cost me about 250€ and it was made by "Satula ilkka". It has nice grip and detailing is awesome!
