Thanks for the compliments. I love the original tacho. I use motoscope for speed and shift light. There is an functional tacho built in and it shows in use in the video. Its really annoying to follow...

Thanks ☺

Been a bit busy with other stuff. Buell has picked a nice layer of dust sitting in the corner of my garage but summer is around the corner. Took little video of it last summer. Keeps me warm while...

My first bike show is now finished. My dear Buell won first price in its class in Helsinki bike show yesterday 😎 I think even my better half got the spark now. To yesterday she didnt understand why i...

Sadly i dont have time to show everything so detailed as i would like to so here are pictures from the finished (for now) product. Everything works fine. Had some problems with fuelpump but its...

I recommend to check your fuel pump and specially the pressure regulator. Regulator have 2 o-rings that worns out. My had only 16000 miles when I replaced them. You can check pressure first from...

Then its time for the final touches. Frame, shifter, swingarm, triple trees and some tiny bits got powder coated black. Everything else I painted in my tiny chamber that I made temporarily.

I put some miscellaneous details to this reply. Pictures which I'm too lazy to explain. Ask more if something interests

Ecus new location. Ass was so tight that it had to be relocated 😃

Then pulleys and timing cover got my treatment. Lathe turned for a long time... Also chopped the camcover

I've been pretty busy and had to take little time off from this forum but now i'm back. I think that the shifter and its linkage is so ugly that I had to put it on the bike. Also made ****er little...

Well, I hate original subframe on the X1. Why in in the name of god you would ruin such a beautiful bike with that monsterous casted thing. Cast aluminum is one thing itself... :upset:

Speedometer is also very handy tool for avoiding win in the police lottery, tickets are huge here in Finland. I wanted to use motoscope mini from Motogadget. It is very beautifully made and works...

Thanks, you know that contractive criticism is allowed also �� I'm pretty pleased for results because this my first motorcycle. This buid has been nice trip and it has taught me so much. Machining...

Thanks for the compliments. Let us all praise Harley for inventing vrod headlight because it is the only one fitting perfectly for buell IMO. Vrod mount was not what i wanted and didn't want any...

Actually that seat was my first time welding aluminum. I learned to weld steel with tig when I made the tubular tail. I tried tig welding once on a piece of aluminum sheet when I was in army 2008...

Well, seat base was just welded up like a puzzle. I bought everlast AC/DC tig at the time and seat base was my first practise job. Then it was just a case of filing and sanding it smooth...

I have polished clear plastics with toothpaste and it works great. Some toothpastes have tiny polishing particles in them. Polishes even soft glass if its not badly beaten :up:

How about seat? I hated when the original plastic seat base surrendered under my ass so I made new seat base from 3mm thick aluminium. It works like original and there is even storage only slightly...

Finlands license plate for motorcycles is a huge rape from behind to my buells nice bottom so I put it on the side mounting style. It isn't beautiful but at least other side of the bike isn't raped...

I took 3mm thick aluminium and beat it to undertray. Maeby some tigging was also needed :)

What should I show first, maeby tail. This final tail is actually third I made. First 2 didnt really fit my eye. First was Honda cbr RR tail which became ugly as f#&k and second was tubular but used...
