    I wouldn't say I HATE the aluminum tail. I just think something else would look better ;)

    I found something similar in House of Kolor but its a little too purpley if thats a word. I would rather it be black than not match dead on.

    Anyone had any luck matching Nuclear Blue?!?

    You know the saying... one step forward... two steps back? I hate that saying. It always seems to ring true.

    One step forward...

    Progress has been made on my tail section. Went with slightly smaller tubing than the frame. Looks less chunky and will flow a little better. Tough part is done, top loop was kinda tricky. Heading to the dunes so have to finish up next week.

    You can back that out with a screw extractor bit. Helped a friend yank one out of his xb this past weekend. It came out a lot easier than we thought. Maybe the vibrations helped to shake it loose. At least just seems to be the bolt for you and mounting hole seems to be intact on the cylinder head. wish we could say the same.:(

    Man my dad just got another x1 for a project bike and he is really interested in a tail like this. Keep up the good work and let us know when possibly you will sell some!
