Reason: forgot a bit
have a few ideas on the paint job but i figure i will wait til all the pieces i would like to be on it are there then the paint schemes will take effect............
Looks like you have a nice project going and it looks pretty nice so far. So is that a X-6 frame or did you have a X-2 frame chromed? So what did you have to do to get that X-15 rear rim to fit the swingarm or does it just fit. Howed you do the front sprocket to take the bigger chain?
it is an X-1 frame.....the X-15 rear just fit with a few new spacers...the front sprocket came off a pepboys mini harley and believe it or not just fit the 420 4 stroke chain perfectly..........
the mounting bracket is the same for the X1/X2 models the tranny's are different on each...........now on the pipe i am waiting for an hp pipe to arrive here shortly....i ordered it thursday hopefully it arrives soon i am waiting to see the difference,,,,,,,,,,,,
please guys/gals if you can think of anything you would do to it let me know..........i knoww there are alot of mods to make it go faster...sooooooooo let me know what you would do to it if it was yours...
I would do a fatty pipe,lighten the clutch and get a bigger Walboro carb. Than there is porting the cylinder or a head kit with reed conversion and a lighter piston. match the manifold for a bigger carb. Match the exhaust header to the cylinder and match the gaskets. Clean up the welds in the end of the pipe.
done some more to it....waiting for the film to be used up......got another X 1 i am working on at the same time hoping to make this a racer..............will post pics of that one as it progresses....
Yeah...........Thats it..........one cruiser and one racer............I personally would do the reed conversion and a 19mm 4 stroke carb on a custom manifold like 125cc crazy made with a polished piston and everything else Straydog would do.........Below is pics of an X-1 frame and an X-2 frames engine mounts;-the X-2 CVT trans has a harder time fitting in the X-1.the X-1's tranny fits in the X-2 easier with less mods.The X-2 trans is 1" longer than the X-1 trans........................Peace
yeah CAM both frames have the 1st engine mount on them.....i am waiting on parts ordered from the supplier...should be here by the weekend...hopefully i can get some decent weather........all it has been doing for the past 2 days is rain...............
took the top part of the front farings and cut the small side pieces off trimmed off the front top section with the lights off the x1 faring and matched up the corners of the two , then marked mounting holes for L shaped brackets (for now) , drilled the holes mounted with flat head screws and loc-nuts , mounted the brace to the bike first , thenslowly bent one side of the faring to mount it to the bracket and did the same to the otherside , bolted and nutted with the original screws and nuts from the windshield..........when i get the bike to where i want it in speed and handling i will go back and fiberglass the faring then repaint............... i have a few more pics of the bike now just waiting to finish the roll of film on the new x1 racer build , which i will post here as well............
