Buellinbenny, here's a couple more....
The saddle is from the buell accessory line, more comfy for a passenger, and has a nice 'lip' in the seat to hold me in...
I believe that the older model tanks will fit the X1 frame...seen one on the force website that did..
Back shot...plate=Stainless
Left side, skyking mirrors, storz, and cf hugger

S1 tanks will not work on X1s unless you are willing to have a custom made seat and do some frame mods. Remember, the X1 is the first change in Buellframe geometry since the S1s came out.

Rick,
I'm almost positive that that bike does not have an S1 tank on it. I believe that tank is a custom made one in aluminum. Plus how would you rig the fuel pump up inside an S1 tank? If I am wrong please let me know because I like the looks of that X1 and would like to do it to mine if it's as simple as bolting up an S1 tank.

Jim:

Pristine example. Looks like the only mod is the polished primary cover. Check the wheels and let me know if you find a Marchisini sticker on either of them.

Also, let me know what the text is on the badge on the instrument panel.

Thanks,
Court

Court Commented:

> Pristine example.

Thanks. I cleaned & waxed the bike before I took the pic. There are a few scratches (I'll try to polish them out...) and a small chip in the tank paint, and some minor yellow stains on the frame & rear wheel that won't come out. But overall She is lovely to behold...

> Looks like the only mod is the polished primary cover.

Interesting. The Seller said the bike was completely stock, which is how I'd like to keep her.

> Check the wheels and let me know if you find a Marchisini sticker on either of them.

I don't remember seeing a sticker, but I saw an "M", I believe, in the surface of the wheel. I will double check this weekend.

> Also, let me know what the text is on the badge on the instrument panel.

I'll check this as well. FYI, the VIN # ends in 3000005 if that helps identify the bike.

Hi Court,

My Daughter reports "no sticker" on the wheels, but she can see an "M"...

The instrument panel badge says: Buell S2 Thunderbolt 1203 CC Free Breathing Made in USA
