This is a friend's newly completed modified M2. Before anyone mentions the shock, it's on the to do list. Also sorry about the bins.

He's done a great job with that. :yup: I bet that every time he puts his helmet back on someone will come up and ask him about it. (why does that always happen?)

I mentioned that to him, it's a local motorcycle shop who told him to do it the HD way.. which we know is way too tight,

They look better with a Buell backend as God intended.

X1 frame gives higher footpegs and easier belt changing.

Show him what it does to your gearbox when riding with a tight belt and no Maz nipple.

Fence has now been creosoted. :ner:

Putting the fuel tank vent onto the exhaust may not be the best way. lOl

My inner hippie said "too much negativity" so I left my input at shock and belt tension. P.S. love the damage photo, I'll try and show it to him.
