Just wanted to say hello to all the Old school Buell enthusiasts. Use to have an X1 lightning and thinking heavily on buying a 1998 S1. A few pics of the X1 I had (wish is still had it).  | ||

Looks like a clean example, looks awfully familiar for some reason... | ||
| Jefc73 |
Well bummer. Guess someone had dibs on the S1 before me. Just doesnt sound right but oh well. Really wanted it too. Any other nuclear blue frames S1's out there for sale please let me know. Thanks. | ||
| Jefc73 |
Still looking. Can pull the trigger when I find the right S1. | ||

..well hello there.'00 X-1 Lightning in the garage here.LT | ||

Off subject, but the seat on your old x1 what type is it and where could I find one. | ||
| Haaken |
I thought it was a corbin gunfighter, but then when I double checked it looks different... | ||
| Tony302 |
It looks good like its a little lower then stock, I like to lower my x1 | ||

That's the Buell Select Seat or Pro Series or some damned thing like that. It was in the 2003 Buell accessory catalog. It's much firmer than stock but it's pretty narrow up front and it's still pretty uncomfortable but nowhere near as bad as stock. It's flatter with sharp edges where your legs go and it's still a nut cruncher. I bought one for my first X1W. You really want leather pants with that seat. | ||
| Jefc73 |
thats correct. Its a buell parts seat. Not sure who made it for them. Kczombie thanks for the craigslist heads up but its already gone. | ||

not mine, not sure if its still there but found on craigs list http://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/4014731234.htm l http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/mcd/40653928 54.html nationwide search engine... www.searchtempest.com | ||

set up a watchlist http://claz.org/classifieds/vehicles/motorcycles?q =buell+s1 While there is only one, there are no pictures, so it's hard to judge a condition | ||
| Jefc73 |
thanks Truehunter. got my eye on one. See how it goes. | ||
| Jefc73 |
Well it looks like Iam an owner of a 98 S1. Keep my fingers crossed until the deal goes through. (Message edited by jefc73 on October 10, 2013) | ||

Good luck and welcome back... | ||
| Jefc73 |
Thanks Oldog. Deal in the process. | ||
| Purpony |
both nice looking bikes- welcome!!! | ||
| Jumbo_petite |
Hard to tell from the pic but looks like a Buell Pegasus stitched on the seat, so I am thinking its a Buell select seat. | ||
| Purpony |
Yes.. buell pro seat.. same as mine. So much better then stock!!!! Love mine | ||
| Jefc73 |
1998 S1W - proud owner. Nuclear blue frame and wheels. Should find out tomorrow when it will be shipped to me. Awesome. | ||

Well the bike is in pretty good shape. Gonna need to do the forks and rebuild the rear shock, and get tires. Seems to run pretty good when warmed up. Iam sure there is going to be more things but just a few observations with a quick once over and quick ride. Winter project for sure. | ||
