how does it handle?

 

[pur pony]

is that a factory unmodified rear swingarm?

 

[BuellerPilot]

Giddity!

 

[jdale]

Yes, it is a factory Not modified swingarm (except shaved mounts, and polished.) I did lots of research and lots of thinking/planning to get this achieved...Reading all other posts I figured handling would be terrible and I wouldn't need a kickstand anymore but it really does handle awesome! I can still throw it down into curves and it feels normal for an X1.
Here are two quickly made youtube videos.

Looks great, but why opt out of the kick stand?

Looks great, but why opt out of the kick stand?

i think that was some of the negative comments he was reading about the 240 rear tire

 

[jdale]

Konarider is right, thats what I meant

Jdale... what guage cluster did you use? S1? Did your original guages and indicator lights fit? I want to do a dual lamp set up and have been scratchin my head on what to do with the guages. Nice bike!

 

[NwRider]

I looked a lil closer all XB stuff yea?

 

[jdale]

Its a custom dash that I made and it holds the original X1 gauges.

 

[jdale]

Its really handling great! took it out several times this week and put almost 1000 miles on it! Getting lots of compliments[up]

NwRider- I made my own dash as well to hold my factory X1 gauges with the XB frontend.

 

[NwRider]

Nice... both you guys did awesome work on your X1s. I am looking to get a dual headlamp set up but want to go with no fly screen. I want to keep my gauges but snug them in close to the handle bars. Probably end up making something simple out of aluminum. What bars are both you guys running? I like the look of clip-ons but they are too low for me. Need to figure out a happy medium.

Hagen 7's

sweet [up]

i had XB City X bars, but have since swapped to Renthal Mini RC 1 1/8 bars.

 

[NwRider]

I like the look of the hagen7 but they look so straight my elbos would be way out. Think I want something swept back more... but then u have the tank clearance to contend with... decisions.. I need to go to a bike shop with a large selection and try em out.

 

[jdale]

I thought they would feel that way too, but they feel natural and the ride is great.

Thanks for the info guys.
