I just noticed this in Keppi's string, but has anyone ever notices his front wheel plastics? I wonder if he fabricated something out of metal or is he drilled and painted the plastics.

Can I vote for different parts of different bikes?Like the polished pipes or custom paint or exhaust system.

04-01-2010, 10:30 AM
all of of them , but top ones would be mine , xtremelow , the lighting with the military theme(pic next to old planes i think), and of course Erik Buell Racing 1190RR got to love that bike so sweet.

My favorites are EricZ's , Typeone's and this one. Love this paint and the seat nice touch, BUELL instead of Gulf. Only thing missing is the twin horse shoe's.http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/3201_20100401041126_L.jpg

Thanks![up]

Welcome to the Forum and Family Philgood!! Those cutouts are homemade mods.

Home made, Gatorbuell was the first to do it as far as I know and I saw his bike and decided to give it a shot. It took me about 8 hours to complete mine with a dremel, file, sand paper and a razor.

I would like to actually see it finished before I judged it. I know he has a ton of work into it and some very clean cut ideas, but it is still under the knife.

Also as I told him a while back the front headlight fairing will make or break the entire bike, oh and as I asked him earlier this evening what about the rail gap from his tail lift.

When you pull the decals of it leaves a perfect outline of the letters. Just take your time and you should be fine.

I think some points should be taken into account when choosing a "best bike". Budget,know how, expertise and facilities are just a few. Keppis is my favourite but has had a lot of time,money and specialist work done on it, which is of course needed to make a showwinner. However I think a clean,sorted and well looked after bike is to some as good as any custom bike.
Heres some updated pics of mine.

04-02-2010, 01:01 PM
The ones with the red wheels and black powdercoated seat rails are the most recent. The original amber wheels were ready for redoing and it took me ages to decide to change colour.

04-02-2010, 02:07 PM
Yorkshirelad, I agree but all in all Keppi's bike is amazing and if you are willing to put that amount of time, thought, and money onto something, IMO it doesn't really matter if you did every bit of work or not.

Many think I have dropped thousands and thousands into my bike but in tge reality of it I still have less into my bike than what a new Bolt would cost;)

yorkshirelad
04-02-2010, 02:20 PM
Agreed xtreme,I was just saying ANY bike can look great to someone. I wasnt suggesting keppi did do all the work just saying that most people cant.
I have very little money in my bike too, I buy used parts or improvise. The change of colour on the wheels cost just £85 and in my opinion transforms the look of the bike for relatively little money.

I think the point of this thread was simply to chose your favorite bike period. No considerations regarding time, money or resources available to the builder, just the finished product (if they are ever finished.LOL). Dont forget the more custom you get the more it becomes suited to YOUR taste, and sometimes it gets to the point where you might lose others interest. For instance on my bike I know Xtremelow feels that the steering damper subtracts to the look of my bike, and I personally think that Keppis bike would look better with a regular seat and side rails. Totally agree with you regarding a clean and sorted bike though.

I think their all great bikes. Their all Buells arent they? I love how no two bikes on here look the same. Some my spend thousands of dollars and many hours and others my keep it simple and clean but thats what make our bikes so sweet. My vote is my own because its my bike and it looks the way I want it too.[up]

When it comes to bikes its all nitto, gator, typeone, ericz havesome really sleek bikes that would get my vote.

But if you add in a photography twist to it I know we all love it when we see xtreme has a new pic

I already said what i think about pegasus decals im not a fan. big deal who cares what I think its just a decal. I like looking at your guys' bikes. I'll raz someone for fun once in awhile about an odd colored oil filter or something. but I dont believe anyone has taken offense at any of my statements, if so sorry. I would post a pic of my bike but it still looks like the other 282,473 pics of near stock buells on this site. When Im done I'll ask if you still want to see a pic dave.
