Why ?  ........last one I built to the same standard was for XB4RT and he's done mega mileage, 2 up, all over the UK and Europe.......that bike still looks as good today as it did when it left my shop

Triple S have powder coated the entire engine on this build......this is a 1st for me and I have reservations as to how the coating is going to cope with the temps on an air cooled motor ........time will tell

I was asked to rebuild a 200 Suzuki race bike two years ago Maz, the chap who owned it insisted on having the expansion chambers powder coated, I was against this as I feared it might upset the much needed resonance, but hey ho, he was paying so it was done. It's done a few race miles and still looks good. |

Those pics were taken on my shitty phone and just dont do justice.......this job is starting to feel more like a career than just another build .......get your shit together Nick, cos I'm starting to get bored with tripping over bits of your bike now  ......and I do have other customers waiting for rebuilds

Why ??.......what's wrong with the standard subframe .......IMO it's a major feature of an X1 and unique in motorcycle design/manufacturing......everyone else goes for the cheap route of tubular seat frames
