Xtremelow's War Horse Build Start to End

[meetch]

Thanks for the photo fix. Bike looks good.

xtremelow, I think the carbon fiber cover looks pretty good. Especially in that last pic with the green. Is it just too much carbon or you not liking the style of the air box? Possibly paint gloss black on it in some kind of pattern so that less carbon is visible..

 

[xtremelow]

I don't like the overall flow of the air box cover, the CF doesn't bother me one bit. I planned to paint over the CF on about 75% of the cover and chin fairing any way but the air box cover just doesnt do it for me, truthfully I am not a huge fan on the lower chin either just to close to stock.

I guess I have something like Trojan Horse in mind. But at the same time I want that CF backing for the ascent under the paint..... Well that's why it all went on before paint.

Cockpit view kinda looks like Christmas

Bike is lookin' good, I'm anxious to see the end product.

 

[xtremelow]

Still waiting on my Trojan Horse order but I did get these little bad boys in the mail today Billet body valve stems with a plastic top[up]

The body will be painted Green, or stay black if it flows, either way I am digging them.

Size comparison

Valve stems?

Shes looking good. BTW how much did you pay for your fairing front? I may want to get one so i can put my own lights on my bike. (i hope we arent both thinking about the same design)

Valve stems?

they are valve stem caps for the wheels.

 

[jasoncummings64]

dude! that looks just like my paint! nice! i like[up]

I would put the front cap on and see how/if the front wheel spins. I had some 8-ball ones that weren't much bigger than a standard cap and they hit the caliper.

BTW how much did you pay for your fairing front?

I wouldn't order mine through the same place again, just hate dealing with 3 people to get one item. I payed $210.

This is probably the best place/price and you will get it just as fast, mine took about 3 weeks.

Just so happens when I was putting the caps on the stem was orientated right behind the caliper so I had to move it to put the cap on, moved the bike back and forth to check clearance and all was good, thanks for the heads up though [up]

Just outta complete curiosity, how many miles you got n that engine extremelow?

Any motor mods?

 

[xtremelow]

Motor has about 4,500 miles. No internal mods, just air box delete, plugs, wires, exhaust, and a tune.

 

[jasonxb9]

How much more do you have to do? It looks bad-ass so far!

 

[onelogue]

Alright brandon i have to be blunt, your bike looks bad ass but i dont think you have hit the "military theme". At least when i look at it, thats not what i think. Possibly add some camo or use light green accents instead of red.

 

[twoguns]

mate... with your curved front fairing i would just cough it up and go the SOC airbox.

 

[DustyXB]

SOC airbox?... pics?
