what do you guys think about this idea

[loser54023]

i have an extra subframe and tail fairing thinking about trying to do this it's kinda a crappy pic

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan. Just not my cup of tea. But to each it's own

I like where you're head's at. I think you're going to need to do something at the edge of the seat though. You don't want to slide off and get a torn up backside from that 180 back there. ;-)


Also, Skunk Stripes are NOT sexy

I dig it, I wouldnt do it but I dig it.. I would have to paint it either flat black or a dingy silver.

I've seen it done using the lightning tail. Definitely different.

 

[SeattleBuellMan]

talk to extremelow. he is already heading that direction. might be able to help a brother out

 

[Stevenc150]

I'm with Only1 on this. [smirk] (But who cares what other people think. It's what you like that matters.)

 

[dave_xb12r]

I think it would be cool if it didnt have a front fairing

 

[tf1175]

it would look really cool but i dont think you can fit everything under such a small seat. Would have to try and relocate alot of stuff or just cut it out. definitely looks awesome

This is what I am in the process of doing as many know. But here are a couple other nice bikes to give you some Ideas. Just the Lightning tail may be all you need to give you the look you want but keep the slipping off the back factor to a minimum.

My Goal

Couple others

Ss with an S tail.

Just an S tail with a 240 Tire

 

[xtremelow]

Oh this is where I am, you can see my good bike and my old bike which has become my mock-up bike so I can get everything straight to go and then send out for powder coat and just bolt up to my good bike. It has the Ss swing arm with the S tail and I am using an R shock to slam the bike.

 

[xtremelow]

Here is my horrible little edition made on paint. What it could look like with a modified S tail.

 

[Buell_Cru]

You can use these for some ideas. Since these images came from Mac Motorcycles I figured I better mention their name.

 

[ridendude]

Looks really good Extreme, looking forward to the finished ride.
Cheers

There was a guy in Milwaukee that did the same thing you want to do. Im not a huge fan of it but its your bike. I think a friend of mine has a picture. I will try to see if I can get it from him.

 

[xtremelow]

I seen a custom lightning that some suspension company made up that had a super short tail I had the pic save a while ago but deleted it.

If someone else knows what I am talking about the pic has the guy standing next to the bike and the bike itself is all blacked out and has a really short tail.

 

[oxygen151]

I know what your talking about extremelow, I cant find it either. There was a video of it along with a few other bikes riding through a tight cone course in a parking lot. Someone posted the video on here not too long ago when someone was asking how to get their bike to turn sharper or something.

Looks very cool, but I'm a traditional streetfighter guy, myself.
