Author Message   Dmac Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 08:29 pm:        I just bought my first and second Buells. A 2002 white lighting and a 2001 lighting.My question is do the both have thundestorm heads or just the 2002?   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 08:35 pm:        Dmac: "YES !!!" THUNDERSTORM Heads came out in 1998, before that they had LIGHTING Heads ...   Dmac Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 09:27 pm:        Buellistic do the xb heads make much improvement over the ones I have?   Buellistic Posted on Saturday, January 16, 2010 - 10:25 pm:        Dmac: As far as "i" know the only difference in ports is the XB Heads have 7MM valve stems which allows the heads to breath a little better which you can do to the THUNDERSTORM Heads ... My BLAST has a THUNDERSTORM Head and "i" plan to put the XB valves in it for that reason ... "BUT" for my 1997 S3T(LIGHTING Heads)they will also get the XB valves and seats(LIGHTING Heads have smaller valves) ... Will leave the PORT SIZE OEM as "i" want lots of bottom end GRUNT(torque in the RPM range "i" ride) ...   Akbuell Posted on Sunday, January 17, 2010 - 09:08 am:        Dmac: Off topic, but thanks for posting. Good to know that I'm not the only person with an '01 X-1 and an '02 X-1W. Seems I'm not the only one in the room, LOL. Congrats on having good taste! Dave
