I wanted that naked road racer look... The bike started as a XB12stt , I took off the mx type front fender and put a lower one that match the color of the air box. I them put numbers and ghost flames on the number plates and fly screen , changed the bars , they are now one inch lower and a inch wider, changed the grips to ones that fit my big hand better and the foot peg were change they are now one ince higher, I will put different tires on it when they need to be changed. I say I have the look I was going for .

Looks really good, man. Oddly enough it looks a lot like my B-King. which I took to Cape May, NJ and managed to not take a single picture of it on site.

It just needs two ion cannons sticking out of the back.

You need to get your eyes checked.

It is possible - I am getting older. :wink:

Both naked sport bikes,
Similar frame structure.
Big old mirrors sticking out from the top of the handlebars.
Swing arms are similarly structured.

Similar displacement.
Completely different mills.
Fake-"O Ring" air intakes on the sides of my bike. But if you stripped those off...

You'd get a bike that looks like the GSX 600:

Or like this by Gregg's Customs:

Of course all that gold kinda makes my head hurt or is it copper.
Gregg's Customs B-King

Of course he went all out and put a single-sided swing arm on the bike.

There nothing out there that looks like a Buell . look at the frame it the gas tank. and the swing arm is the oil tank.
