LittleMike's Buell X1 -2000

[LittleMike]

Adios amigos!

New guy from Finland introduces himself to the forum!
Project started with 2000 X1 on fall 2011. It was almost stock besides carbon fiber muffler, ceramic coated header and race ecm. The reason we started tearing bike apart was that in my opinion stock X1 was ugly as hell! (sorry all original x1 fanatics on forum)

Starting point

Johny Kidd's XB on the left

Disassembled

Black painted swingarm

New tail lights

powdercoated tail and licence plate mount, with custom made fender

Powdercoated wheels with wheel tapes

starting assembling

Clip-ons

Making new instrument cluster

Scallop- taped tank cover (by Hannu Mäkelä, Finland)

Finished bike

And now we are building Johny Kidd's XB and waiting for the snow to melt from road!

Nice! love the X-1's
Not a fan of the fairing though.

Nice work [up]

 

[LittleMike]

Thank you guys!

MAGIC: "Adios amigos" is the text in the other side of the wheels "Mi Vida loca" in the other side.

[up] I agree. I like the old one way better. The one you have now might look better without that outline of white around the edge. Just my .02
Outstanding Bike. Looks really sharp

I think that my pictures do not give the best impression, especially of fairing.

Anyway it's a matter of opinion

I think the fering looks a little odd because of the white stripe. But like you said its a matter of opinion. I love the way the tail looks painted, white rims too! Shes one cool tuber littlemike, nice job
