New to Buell's, just wanna say hey!

[LightningStrike1999]

Whats up guys! Just picked up a '99 Buell X1, love the bike and cant stop riding it. Thought I'd come on here as I'd like to do a basic intake/tune/exhaust and some minor cosmetic mods. Look forward to BS'ing with you guys.

Are there any mods you can do without tuning/resetting TPS? Like if I were to buy a slip-on? Thanks again guys

 

[iman501]

with an X1?, mod to your little hearts desire! there are a couple guys that have extremely custom X1's (some of the sweetest buells I've seen so far. lets see a picture of your new steed, and i'm sure the guys on the forum will give you a whole list of fun mods besides tuning it

Hi!!!!
I want a tuber all of a sudden!

 

[iman501]

^ I agree, his is to nice to see, it'll make you feel like you drive this



Or at least that's what happened to me.....I'm still recovering.

I don't know what you guys think, but that tricycle is fricken sweet!

 

[iman501]

Well I mean it was hard to wire up the Hid's on the trike, The seat is clearly a Corbin, tires are hard to find for it, you have to order them through toys'r'us, but I just had the bike painted and gained about 15hp from adding the tassels!

Holy response batman! It wont ruin me, I love seeing custom bikes. My old man used to sell Buell's and Harley-Davidsons locally in the mid-late 90's. Grew up around these bikes, wouldn't have anything else Had a bobbed Blast as a first bike, way too many problems with it(previous owner neglected the poor thing) so sold it and got this Lightning. I'm the second owner, it's completely stock outside of the shifter linkage and routine maintenance/recall fixes. Less than 6800 miles when I got it....yesterday. A bike like this, basically untouched? Had to have it.

welcome to the forum and that is one sweet bike! If i had a tuber I would definately pick pur pony's brain, he's got one of the sweetest tubers i think. But everybody on this forum is great and has tons of knowledge

 

[pur pony]

That is a great looking bike. Nice Banke shifter to boot and PM wheels!!! Thats as stock as mine was when i picked it up in 08

 

[LightningStrike1999]

Thanks a ton guys, I absolutely love this bike

 

[Kal3idosc0pe]

Nice to see some other new guys on here. I just picked up an X1 myself.

 

[BuddhaBuell]

Don't let pur pony post a pic of his

just click on pur ponys name on his post and it'll take you to his profile here on BuellXB and you can feast your peepers on his work of art

I've got an 99 X1 as well, over in Missouri. V&H exhaust, sounds sweet but needs some tuning and work still. First thing I'd do if it was my bike is different grips, mirrors coming off the sides of your grips, chrome levers.

Enjoy!

 

[LightningStrike1999]

It has a D&D pipe and gold shorty levers now, no mirrors. currently trying to figure out what to do with the underseat panel, the tail is hideous.
