Until yesterday all my mods have been taking place in my head only. Yea I did a breather re-route and catch can when I first bought her but nothing substantial. I have everything I need for my XB-lamp conversion (with stealthy led blinkers) but am waiting for my bars to arrive so I can figure out how to make my dash. I am still a week out on the materials to finish my custom short tail. All that is for looks anyhow. Yesterday I installed my intake, race ecm and Hawk exhaust. Randy had never done a can for an X1 and I was a willing test subject. I tip my hat to you Randy... she sounds like a beast. I can not speak on performance gains as of yet but will as soon as I get my tune sorted out. I thank every one in the Buell community for the ideas and assistance along the way. I figure in a month or so she will be complete... well... complete for the time being. So many more ideas... baby steps. Baby steps.

Looks great so far... Question: Did you convert the bike over to Fuel Injection??? I thought all the tubers were carburated?!?!
 
Yea what they said! Thanks... She is almost completed. I am regretting having my bike in pieces the last month as good riding weather is limited here. I hope to be riding by sunday but time will tell..
 
Found it on another forum. I am going to tune my stock ecm and if it runs as good or better I will probably sell the race ecm'

Thanks native! As soon as its completed i will post up some pics and video.
 
Looks quite a bit different now ATF... Powder coat the subframe and a few parts hopefully this weekend. And thanks.

Thanks Loki. She will look better when all the finish work is done and she gets a good detail. Covered with my last ride + a month of shop dust. ;) Plus I think I need to try that wd40 / scotch-brite trick to my header.
