If I could have one motorcycle in the world, this would be it. Down to the color and everything. It is SO bad ass. I hope you never sell that bike. Unless it's to me.

S1 isn't the best Buell but is the most beautiful.
And you made it better.. It's so elegant!! Great work.

Thanks for the compliment! The bars are taken from an aftermarket at a local motorcycle store. Just look around and you will find that what you want. LSL has nice bars too.

Yes, it is lowered by 2,5 inches.
Easy. There are two different lengts of shock absorbers, each has a different front mounting bracket. You need to use the long shocjk absorber in combination with the front brackert for the short shock. This results in rotating th erear wheel around the axle of the swingarm resulting in a lowered sitting position. Alternative is making your own front bracket with a mounting point for the shock further backwards. Good luck!

No problems, larger diameter means longer time to cool..... ;-)

Sprocket: CNC-ed the original one.
Perimeter brake set-up (front): aftermarket kit for Ducati Monster (the complete front-wheel is a ducati wheel).
Thanks for the compliments!
