This is the same chap who every blue moon offers up his rather tatty rattle bomb RS 1200 for $6K, while nice ones go for $6 to 7K. I wish him well. | ||

i guess if you REALLY had to have PM wheels on your tuber ... I mean i would like a set for my 2000 Race stripe that I have stashed away ... but $1000 bucks ... Thats hilarious | ||

Last time I checked the PM wheels go for $525.00 each I have the 2000 X1 racing stripe too and a couple of years back a HD shop had it up on the lift 3 feet off of the ground and they left it for the night. The next morning they found it laying on the floor. The bike had over $1,000.00 worth of damage to it and a nicked front PM wheel, which was replaced. I was so pissed off at the shop Never Ever taking my X1 back there again. K | ||

They do from the dealer, but the market has been flooded with PMs over eBay lately, with many of them going for less than $500/pr NIB. | ||

That's nice to know my front PM has a flat spot on the edge of the rim I don't know from what, I think a pot hole or something | ||
| Ebutch |
They can be Straightened.  | ||

Well well good to see women Bad-Webers!!Kathleen it should be an easy fix.Some times those pot holes are impossible to mis.And a Wild Woman (X1)Kathleen:Pull Some GGGGGGs for me!!!! Butch   | ||

where have you been I'm all over Bad web  How can I straighten it out I was thinking a dead blow hammer, a soft rubber one | ||
| Jramsey |
3 lb. dead blow and a short piece of soft Pine. Small flat spots can usually be removed with the side grain,if using the end grain cover flat spot with shirt cardboard (beer carton also works) very little polishing required when done. | ||
| Babired |
okay now you are talking french to me what side grain? end side grain cover? I could get this hammered back this weekend  | ||
| Jramsey |
I don't speak French but my sister has lived there for 30+ years. 1x2 board 12 inches long, end grain is at each end of the 12". Less "give" then the 1" edge or 2" face. Cover/protect the rim, less marring/marking = less polishing. PM wheels are very soft compared to their cast counterparts. | ||

okay that's what I thought! can yo spell chinese for me | ||

I did a front PM wheel 5 yrs ago on a rubber-mat with a helper and a 6"x 1" piece of hardwood 1" on dent at outside lip helper holding rim and wood piece down giving several heavy blows to hard wood piece till dent came out using 5 LBS. mall.  (Message edited by ebutch on December 02, 2009) | ||

Both of my PMs have been perfected at Framestraitsystems.com about 130 bucks a piece. | ||

Here is my X1 this year picture  | ||
| Phelan |
Purdy bike! Is that a sharktooth or PM pulley? | ||
| Babired |
I think it's the sharktooth pulley it is an original solid Buell part, not the plate cover. When I bought the bike I bought all of the add on parts from the rack at the shop, evreything but the chrome rings for the tack and speedo. I didn't do anything to the dash.

good looking X1. I'm not a big fan of PM's (even though my X1 is wearing some for now) but the slotted ones always grab my attention. An X1 and a Uly.. good choices! | ||
| Babired |
Oh yeah Bad A$$ X1 with the Vansen Hines pipe I never re-packed mine though the other thread I've been writing on, one Bad webber said you have to re-pack the pipe. After I bought the ULY I started to go all over the United States must be some kind of flu I have Thanks |
