Just about finished!

[Evil Mechanic]

I just got back from Hawaii for a week and a half, and Vegas for a week and a half and the headlight cover was finally returned to me. It was supposed to be painted a long time ago, but the guy never had time. I decided to just paint it black. Im gonna add a tiny bit of color to it, and lower the whole headlight unit another 1/2 an inch, followed by a new front brake line, and then its pretty much finished! I know in between going to Hawaii, and Vegas i was gonna sell it, but I think ill keep it for the season.

nice work[up] i really like the fork covers w/ the blinkers in them.

[SMDUB1]

I second the fork covers never thought of that. And the mask looks good as is.. But its your bike. And a very nice one at that. [up]

[fabic]

Wow!! where you bought this mask ? [up]

[xtremelow]

[up][up][up]

I would say a different color or even a flat black on the chin fairing would help finish it off, then a K&N filter to drop the blue with a custom air box delete cover[up]

Bike looks great, the mask is something I would have to get use to but I do like how it hides the small amount of clutter behind it

[1SexyBuell]

yea if I had the money I would def buy this off of ya... nice, suprised you didnt change the muffler with all the mods you have.

Well, its not for sale anymore :) atleast not till after this riding season. I'll decide over winter if i wanna sell it or not.

I like the stock exhaust. I had a D&D on there but it was too loud for me. I like how quiet the stocker is. Id go aftermarket if i can find one as quiet as stock, but with a deeper tone.

Thanks man, and i see what you're saying about the chin. Ill prolly go flat.

Thank you for the comments everybody [up]

[meetch]

Looks mean as hell! great work with the mask and fork covers.

[upthemaiden]

I think it looks great. I think the mask is ok where it is, but would probably look better if it was dropped a little to line up with the frame.

I'm a big fan of quiet exhausts too. The only reason I'd normally care to swap one is because stock exhausts are so huge and ugly, but obviously that's not a problem with the XB. I with there were more options for good sounding quiet pipes.

[BuddhaBuell]

awesome job Evil, glad your keeping it! [up]

[AudiXB12R]

Really cool, Its nice to see someone take their XB the route of the darkside...street fighter [smirk][up]

[Jerry C]

NICE!

[Stillonit]

one thing come to mind Ironman...lol looks good

[Evil Mechanic]

dropped a little to line up with the frame

Yeah, im dropping it another 1/2 an inch.


one thing come to mind Ironman

LOL, thats because Ironman was the inspiration for the headlight unit ;)

Thanks for the comments everyone!!

btw anyone have a reliable source for custom brake lines? I need one made up for the front.

[crxtasy169]

HAIbikeshop.com The guys name is Mark he has helped with several custom brake lines for my fighter projects. He can basically put you together anything you need, just tell him what length and what angle of fittings you need!

[jonzin]

Where did you buy the fork covers? I went to the Showyomoto website and could not find them. If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

The bike looks awesome. really nice work.

[Buellgasm]

Very sharp looking bike Evil


one thing come to mind Ironman

or predator and would say the hight looks good to me[cool][cool]

[BRatigan]

Evil awesome work. If you want an exhaust with deeper tones and a stock feel as far as torque but with great pull from mid to high end check out my exhaust mod. You have the ability to make it. Pretty simple. Check out "Modded XB12 Exhaust" its on page 6 or 7 of the main thread. It might be what you are looking for.

Thanks man! They are one-offs made to the specs i sent them. If you want a set made you will have to contact them and talk to them about it.

[scginmd]

Very nice, kind of a coincidence that after looking here I found it on craigslist.

[Evil Mechanic]

Yeah man, do you have a built DSM you wanna trade me for it???!!!

[scginmd]

Sorry man, dont have one and dont know anybody with one

[Soviet]

EvilMechanic, You mind sending my triple clamp back to me. Looks like you got it back from the powder coaters. Kinda bogus that this is how you treat someone that borrowed you a part...but I want that back.

[Evil Mechanic]

yeah, sorry dude. forgot all about it with everything going on, you should have txt me to remind me. I never even used it because that place jerked me around so much i just ended up using my own. Ill get it out to you.

[Soviet]

EH, I did call you numerous times and left messages as well as email and such. Send it back. You should have my address on the buell bulletin board still.

[Evil Mechanic]

shipped ups.

[12SX]

Evil,

You've made one Evil looking machine man!
seriously amazing!!!!! and allot of attention to detail! enjoy it to the max!

i'm sure you've caused some neck injuries by now! ;)

[Midnight82]

Hey Evil, I think you made a seperate thread on your timing cover, but what did you use to cut it?
And then did you just paint that square-ish pulley plate?

[Evil Mechanic]

you mean the front pulley cover? I used a wiz wheel for the basic hole, and then followed it up with a pencil style die grinder with a very small cutting bit @ about 40,000 rpms hooked up to an air compressor. Its basicly a smaller, more professional version of a dremel. Just take your time and follow the natural lines. I painted the pulley and nut black, and the nut locking plate red.

12SX- dude, I can't even get gas w/o being mobbed lol. Its great!

[12SX]

hahahaha.... all the hard work pays off ;)
i know i would drool all over your bike if i would see it in person, seriously a great job!

and i'm sure you find yourself admiring it before and after every ride.... aaaahh the joys of motorcycle riding! :D

[Warlock]

Just saw your bike on ebay......not cool [sad]

[Evil Mechanic]

Yeah man! Need the space and money for my new 1125r fighter project :D:D:D

If I don't get what I want on ebay then I'm gonna part it out. Its gotta go!

[Warlock]

If you part it out shoot me a text ill take alot of it off yor hands...lol

[IRULE]

One word: "WOW"[up]

[flaya564]

[mikeb2275]

[AV8guy]

Ill take the shock covers off of your hands if you are parting it out. Let me know how much you would want.:D

[Evil Mechanic]

AV8guy, those are already spoken for if it gets parted. I'll let you know if he falls through though.

[konarider94]

i would be interested in your rear brake lever and shifter.
