After FOREVER (ok like a month and a half) I got My 1999 X1 with 799 miles sitting in my garage. After an 8-9 hr. road trip to meet with Dano I picked up a pristine machine. It was absolutly as described, looked straight off the show room floor. Got it home and couldn't wait... I put about 20 mi. on it last night and now I have a cold because of it  Now when is spring? The bike is Black on Blue... nice combo. p.s. anyone paint their tail section black with this combanation... I was thinking of polishing it but I think the black look is pretty cool.... I would like to see pics if anyone has done this. | ||

just be carefull with black paint that color will show every scratch. Allways use a clean wash mit, clean polish clothes (microfiber), use good quality polish (meguirs or mothers), then use a really good wax, I like 3m paste wax. Tail section -- have it done black chrome color. Ride safe and enjoy! | ||

Hmmmm? Black chrome... sounds nice I'll have to see if my paint guy can do that. | ||

perhaps a powdercoating matching your frame? | ||
| Chevysolid |
Nate, Not a bad idea but i think that would be to much of the nuc. blue I wasn't even sure if i would like the blue rims until i got it home and they literally SHINE. | ||

Congrats Chevy just ride it like ya stole it! | ||

congrads and hey I would do anything to the bike yet . As you might wreck it , you know a man needs to know his limitations. Sorry sad but true. | ||
| Chevysolid |
Mmmi, I hope i don't.... It's a little faster and more powerful than my previous sport bike and obviously faster than the cruiser I was riding for a while but nothing insane like a Busa or 900rr... so it is within my limitations i think. That was one reason i got this vs. an all out crotch rocket. | ||

Sounds like my bike... Hmm...I have been going back and forth on the polished, vises black thing myself..whichcever i do, teh swing arm will match. Anyway..enjoy Chase} | ||

Chase, I would like to eventually do the swing arm to match too... But I really don't want to do the work to pull the darn thing off.. it doesn't look the easiest. Wceviper....I pm'd you. | ||

I personally think the bare aluminum tail is the best aspect of the bike. Sometimes at a light, I find myself rubbing it like a perv. | ||
| Mmmi_grad |
hmmm i have seen a similar bike around lol. Looks like its sporting a 2001 tank cover and other body work probley. | ||

Sometimes at a light, I find myself rubbing it like a perv. Really Nate? Is THAT what you were doing when we were riding this summer? Hmm, and here I was, thinking you were tryin to polish it with yoru gloves....} Speaking of which, remember that waitress from the Summit house resturaunt? Yeah, completely random, I know. Chase |
