My wife Susan's S1W.

I bought this for her for $2500. It wasn't in quite this shape though.

Did up the motor for her, put on several pieces I had laying around, bought a few, made a few, and here it is.

On this side you can see the carbon fiber seat pan, air cleaner, belt guards, front sprocket cover, flyscreen, and fenders. The air cleaner is a special made HurricaneFlow piece. Had to do a special style to get that air cleaner insert to work. Billet oil pump and cut down cam cover.

I also put a narrow tank on it, I've always liked the narrow tank more than the wide S1W tank. Got the seat redone too, it looks nice and is a little more comfortable than the factory torture rack. But only a little ;) It's built for speed, not comfort.

I put the PM wheels on it too.

Fancy adjustable levers. Bar end mirrors. Banke brake pedal. Storz pegs. WP shock. Force exhaust. NRHS billet front motor mount.

Here's the left side:

Banke shifter actuating the Baker 6-speed. Escort radar detector. Banke frame brace. Aluminum oil tank.

The motor puts a conservative 122hp to the rear tire, I could get more but I want this thing reliable and rideable on pump gas. And it's a tad scary to ride as it is, it constantly wants to bring the front wheel up. Susan weighs 100lbs if she puts rocks in her pockets and the bike weighs about 425. So it's a potent combination. She's an accomplished rider, she grew up on a ranch where they had bikes and she's been riding motorcycles her whole life. Believe me, I wouldn't build something like this for an inexperienced rider. She has other bikes as well, but this is the fastest.

Damn 122 rear wheel HP from your WIFE'S bike :yikes , just what do you have for rear wheel HP on your own ride?

All kidding aside that is one great looking bike even if it's a "girls" bike. :)

Thanks for all the ideas, I believe I'll check out Banke's site. Does the frame brace help??

Thanks, guys. Jimbo, her bikes are always faster than mine! CJ, hell if I know. I just had the thing so I stuck it on there. Visit Al Lighton's site, http://www.americansportbike.com , he has a ton of this kind of stuff for Buells. Al's a good friend and all around good guy. We need to talk him into sponsoring the forum ;)
