Fantastic!

My only gripe is that you were not able to mount your tank emblems a little further forward and more horizontal/level with the ground. It's tough on these round tanks. I know from experience having the same emblems.

Otherwise it looks great!

Can you fill us in a bit on some of your mods? For example I'd love to know what rear fender you used and if you lowered the back end to get it to hug the tire better? Did you lower the front? What primary is that?

Thanks for sharing and well done!

I'll use the fact that the Forums have been double and now triply posting to say that I just read your response on the primary. I've actually been a fan of Exile and Russ Mitchel for a long time and it was his Hot Rod build that led me to end up with a Bones. Your scoot seems to draw from that bike so much. Was that intentional?

I'm actually looking to do a bobber job on mine and have been looking at Exile for a number of odds and ends. I'm thinking I might like to try their twist clutch and throttle. I'd love to do a jocky shift but I just can't come to the conclusion that it would be practical on my daily commutes. I know, I know! Some will say that I'm chicken about it but how many people can say they have a commute of 83 miles one way across three different counties and on several different types of road and traffic conditions including open highways, downtown city traffic and potholed back roads? Never mind the fact that I can leave my house or my work under one weather condition and go through sever changes in conditions by the time I get home!

Anyways...

Hey Skeez, did you ever swap the rear end for a Slim rear? I want the Wide White Wall and guys in Germany are using 170/80R15 tires on the XBones and they look sick! I'm looking into it.
