The bike in the picture is an M2 sold by us to the yound kid that rode it. Very sad story being that I outfitted the bike myself with the stage !1 kit. First time I've had that happen. Sorry I've been away for ao long. No working for a custom shop here in town called Wildside customs. The owner is very gung-ho on doing Buell stuff so if you have any mods in mind call me first

X1 update: Stripped is the word of the week. Rims, frame, and engine, is all that remains. I took the tailsection, headers, and front pulley, to a powder coater on sunday. Mirror black for the pulley and tailsection, and wrinkle black for the headers. I have couple pics taken, but not enough to develop the roll. movin right along.

Hoot: You dont have a extra X1 tail lamp lens laying around that you dont need do you?

I have no extra tail light, sorry. While you're at it, have the swingarm coated too. Looks bad ass, and is easier to clean than the factory finish. And since you'll have the swingarm off, put the 2001 isolators on. Much beefier.

I'm not going to take the swingarm off. its already polished aluminum. Just cutting the tabs, sanding the scratch that the car put in it, and re-polishing it. How much of a diff. does the new isolators make, and is it a re-call?!?!?

It's not a recall. However, the isolators that were installed to replace the recalled ones tore again anyway. (on mine) If the recall has never been done, they will put in the 01 version. The original recall replacements have been superceded, or at least, that's my understanding. Been wrong before. There's no reason not to do it. The kit (with the new pulley cover) is cheap, and isolators aren't hard to replace on the X1 as long as you don't do it by the book.

If anyone is interested in a cheap - Second bike, my brother is selling a Honda Shadow with 600 miles on it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2406063974&category=6708

Its in perfect condition.

And I thought Buells had low resale value. I had an 83 Shadow once. Bought it at The Bent Bike in Auburn WA for $1400. 60K miles later I traded it back to them for a rain suit and a pair of gloves. I wasn't kind to it.

He bought it new in 2001. the Dealer had 3 99's on the floor. The 2003 model is the same as the 99, just different colors. It's a good bike, tough as nails. Not a bad price for 600 miles.

They are pretty tough. I rode the piss out of mine, and did very little in the way of upkeep. I put 120 miles a day on it for a few years. Never left me stranded.
