That looks really good. How do you like the Storz damper? | ||

Picture of the speedo and light panel please Looks great What does it take to put tge xb front end on? | ||
| Purpony |
 I made the indicator housing out of aluminum and machined the lens for it from a piece of tinted acrylic. The leds i ordered from a model train store that are wired for 12v use. Inside of the housing is a SLS nylon rapid prototype piece that holds and spaces the led lights. This housing along with the speedo is mounted to a flat piece of of aluminum thats mounted by the handlebar bolts. To put the XB front end on, its best to use a complete front (XB forks and Triple)... Triples need a counterbore and a tuber stem pressed it. Then its a direct bolt on. No complaints on the Storz damper. Seems to work well. (Message edited by purpony on October 20, 2013) | ||

Beautiful!!! Possibly the ONLY X1 I've ever seen without a windscreen that I liked. Very Nicely done!! | ||

Someone has been very busy!Really,really nice...me like.LT | ||

Looks good. Questions: Why leave a passenger seat area when no rearsets? Why not make that area into a trunk? Stock engine and trans? A very unique Buell. Well done! | ||

This will always be one of my favorite buells! Every piece of this bike flows so nicely, nothing is forced, every piece looks like it came this way. So nice! | ||

Headlamp/signal mount? Thanks, Nels | ||
| Purpony |
Thanks... from time to time i do put the pass pegs on for the wife.... plus i like how comfy the pro seat is. I do have plans of a modified stock seat over the winter. Headlamp and turn signal mounts are my own design. | ||

Hands down, the finest X I have ever seen! | ||

Headlamp and turn signal mounts are my own design. Of course it is.  Excellent work as always. Nels | ||

KC beat me to it. Best looking X1 ever. By far. Brad | ||

Is your exhaust custom? How does it sound? | ||
| Zrx1100 |
Gorgeous bike. You should submit it to bikeexif.com. I sent them an email with a link to this page. Great work | ||
| Littlebuggles |
Your bike continues to look more gorgeous each time you make a change, very nice work!! I like that you've kept a "Buell" tank decal on the bike, many people remove the brand name when they do paint or whatnot, and I think it's great that people can look at it and see just how sweet a Buell can be. Good looking exhaust, the black ceramic coat looks sweet. You don't get to see the full Borla system "in the wild" very often, didn't you have a Supertrapp on there previously? | ||

Nice Air Filter  Did you move the mounts forward from the prospect hill design? | ||
| Purpony |
Ive been thinking of sending some stuff off to bikeexif.com. They have some nice stuff on there!! Thanks all, yes, used to have a supertrapp but wanted something a little different and a little more rare- so when i came across the borla i jumped on it. Yes, I used to have a prospect before my home built force.... but wanted to back to a that style so i designed and cut my own. Its moved forward as much as it could go and I an machined a built TB bracket that it all mounts to. | ||

So if I were to use a complete xb front end on my 96 S1 how would I hook up the speedo? | ||
| Hootowl |
Beautiful. The black derby cover is a nice touch on these blacked out motors. Never understood why it wasn't like that from the factory. | ||
| Dutch_x1 |
Piece of art I like every detail on your x1 At the beginning i had to get used to the tail.but i like it a lot now. | ||
| Kalali |
Very well sorted specimen. The tail and the blacked out forks are my favorite touches. I also like the fact that the wheels are different but follow the same design scheme. The gauge cluster takes a little getting used to. I would have probably gone a little old school with something like a small round analog gauge with black face with white pointers. Well done. | ||

That is a very nice X1 I like how it all fits together. You sir are an artist and a craftsman. | ||

Stunning bike absolutely stunning | ||

I would love to hear a sound clip with that Borla! | ||
| Purpony |
ill try and put one i youtube. I was originally looking on youtube for a clip and couldnt find out. | ||
| Jayvee |
That bike is a 'wow!'. The Storz damper really stands out. I had a black one before. Can the damper tube be anodized or powder coated? Or covered with that black undercoating for pickup beds?  | ||
| Rocket_in_uk |
I've been looking at this Buell a lot over the past few days and searching for something to say but couldn't quite put my finger on it until now. I like it a lot but I want to do things to it that I think would make it even better! Rocket in England |
