  • I watch this video so many times lol i want to build another s1, i have one already but i want to build one with the smaller tank and lowered like this... what bars are you running on there they look lower than stock

  • @tim4g63fast

    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..... ;-)

    Plus two discs..... beter than one.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • @kingkitse thanks im going to have to look into this... im always on my tippy toes riding the thing... im only 5'6" haha

  • is this bike lowered, if so how was it done, and what handle bars is it using this bike looks awesome. I have a 98s1w that is just a touch to tall for me this one looks lower than mine.. thanks

  • absoutly beautiful job you should be proud to own this bike keep it rubber side down and ride safe and free forever!
