I'm going to ask a potentially stupid question (and admit to not having read all of this thread yet). Is the front Dunlop mounted the correct direction?

 

[BlackBII]

Yeah its mounted correctly, it does look backwards to most bias front motorcycle tires

Damn that looks good.

 

[TheTopher]

Lookin' good, man! Definitely gonna follow this one.

nice work Dante. i don't know, i think this one needs to be black too with a yellow stripe maybe?
just curious, how much did you sell your old one for?

 

[BlackBII]

Thanks guys!

I'm painting the seat and tank a pearl white, I think it'll compliment the all black..

I sold my other one for 2K to some dude in nevada.

Front motorcycle tires are designed to void water to the center of the tread. This is because the need to void water is at it's greatest when you are leaned over.

Tank is in Primer, I started filling the backside of my tail with fiberglass, mounted my battery in a custom box and started on the wiring

How the hell did I miss this?

And is that a lightning headlight setup?

 

[BlackBII]

Yeah the headlights and little windhshield are from a Buell XB12s

I actually used to own a Buell, loved it. But I'm more into the older bikes now.

My brother had a Blast for his first bike, he's wanted an XB12s for quite some time, but now he's decided on an 1125R and he's saving his money for it instead of getting a loan. He lost the blast in a total loss apartment fire, the apartment was above the garage. He had a pretty nice setup going on with that bike, started to do some performance work to it. Here's a photo of it the summer before he lost it. I think all he had here was a Vance and Hines exhaust and the blast airbox mod.

cool build, i like the headlight light, reminds me of iron man lol

 

[Stxrangerbumper]

beautiful beasts ,dude
you'll have fun with this thing
750 or 850 ???

 

[BlackBII]

Thanks guys! It's an 850. I'm hoping I can get it running well enough to outrun my old 1100. This bike is a lot lighter and I have a wideband o2 setup so I can get it tuned perfectly.

I'll have some updates this weekend.
