Though I've been following this site for a while, this is my first post, so please bear with me. After enjoying my '99 X1 for a while, I decided to completely change it up and turn it into a custom chopper. I will be keeping the frame, the Motor, the front suspension, and the wheels, but pretty much everything else can go.
I'll list as much as I can, but if there is something I miss that you may be interested in, please feel free to ask. Everything listed it Negotiable....

$75 Tank cover
$35 Under Belly Cover
$20 Sprocket cover
$75 Gas Tank complete with pump: SOLD
$250 SuperTrapp exhaust (complete) (about 4500miles on it): SOLD[/B]
$75 Headlight assembly: SOLD
$100 Complete fuel injection system: SOLD
$90 Key lock assembly w/ Gas cap: SOLD
$100 Complete wiring harness w/ FLASHED computer and sensors: SOLD
$100 Custom Corbin seat with passenger brackrest
$120 Shock Assembly

Everything is in great shape. The bike has 11,500 miles on it and was always garage kept. Thanks for looking

Hello lady! welcome to the forum! good luck with your project and enjoy the process, you will no doubt get some flack for "chopping" it but hey dont worry just pretend you are deaf! ha ha ha please keep us updated with your progress and i for one will look forward to seeing it!! :eagerness:
 
I know you guys think it's sac-religious, but it's what I've been wanting to do for some time now. Thanks for the support....

Now if the rest of her can be used as an organ donor, to help fund the transformation, and help another member out. Then it's a win/win in my book.
 
How about the shock?
Sorry for the delayed response, working a lot and haven't been on in a few days.
Yes, still got the shock. Its in Good Condition. How about $120+ shipping?
Will send you a PM now.

It's not on the list, but are you planning on letting the shifter assembly go? From what you described I assume you're planning on switching to some forward controls. Looking for the lever, mounting block, bolts, connecting rod and the small clamp on the shifter shaft, or any combination of those parts.
 
Had a problem uploading my pics. will try again tonight.
I actually got 2 setups: The Boomerang setup and a Tighter setup that was more like a sportster (right off primary mount) which I thought I was going to use, but decided on forward controls instead.

@UPTHEMAIDEN, Your mailbox is full
 
Thanks for the heads up, I just got a bunch of emails from the forum yelling at me for the full inbox haha. I cleared it out.


....and I'm not sure what type of shifter a sportster has, but I've only ever seen two shifters on tubers and it's the one that's not the boomerang shifter I was after. I'll assume it's the one that looks like a sportster shifter, that attaches to the primary cover at the bolt holes by the clutch cable and primary chain adjuster.
