Usually those fork guards are for inverted forks. They make them for standard forks but they look silly at the top of the fork - much better looking at the bottom.

[sm=headbang.gif] ahah i shouldve realized.

I have read quite a few reviews of critics praising the Ulysses as the only Buell worth owning.

I think the hugger fender looks more stunt than moto... I dunno. I love the look of the stubby fender high off the tire.


No CRF's here!

Here is a shot with the rashed up tank stickers off...

Hatebreed - I think you've convinced me to get those guards. I did a fair amount of looking at XR customs last night and came across quite a few with the stock fork covers replaced with those Acerbis guards and they didn't look to bad. More importantly, they look better than those accordian style covers I'm cutting them off today!!! I'll have some more pics (of course) of that in a bit...

Tires are almost scrubbed in completely!

WhiteDealership, yeah and to be fair, Suzuki makes a KILLER supermoto straight from the factory.

The DRZ400S (<-- dual sport)and the DRZ450SM (<-- full blown supermoto). Aside from the KTM, Aprilia makes a MEAN supermoto with a swingarm that sort of resembles a 600RR. Actually, the Aprilia was sort of the inspiration for my bike, I've had a picture of my bike and the Aprilia on my keyboard to keep me motivated...

Here's the DRZ450SM...

I took the covers off and it looks a million times better... looks great, actually. I think I am going to go with the Acerbis style covers - Hatebreed FTW!

Whaddya think? Looks more streety-style. I'm gonna get the front fender painted gloss black go with a black/red scheme...

Wow, She's looking great.

The only thing I'd be worried about is getting nicks on the fork tube and cutting a seal, but yes, taking off the rubber "dust covers" totally transformed the look of the bike.

I like the idea of painting the front fender black, but I'd leave some red in it. Following the colors on the seat. Maybe adding some black to the top of the tank, and make it like a black spine running all the way down the centerline of the bike, but with the red sides.

Being a kick start that thing must be light as hell.

Keep it up, and keep posting pictures, this project is turning out great. I'm jealous.

Damn man, looks tight! You gotta cover that tank with something thou! Maybe one of those aftermarket decal sets that cover the whole bike...

That one's more for refrence...(not sure I care for the design) anyway, you get the idea.

What ratio is that tail tire? When I was looking at them for my XT they were classed 20%off-road 80%on-road, 50/50, 60/40...any idea what yours are?
