No real "edition" that I recall -- a body set from Buell if I remember. Unlike an X1 White Lightning or Extreme Carbon Fiber.

It wasn't called "Road Rash", it was "Molten ..something or other" I believe. I doubt it is a one of 50. I've seen a couple here in San Diego.

Yep, it was a P&A paint set. They were numbered like the HD paint sets are, with a little logo on the tank that said "1/50", or "24/50", or whichever number it was.

Standard bike, accessory bodywork.

And the name is right on the tip of my brain. Dammit.

I can't remember either. Dan Dunn has a set of that paint as well though.

I'm 99% sure the body work is called 'Road Rash'

They used to sell a set with a lightning motif.
I used to pine for that while I was unemployed and just barely making payments on the bike itself.

I've seen them too just like Rat says HD put out paint sets for the Buells too. Funny how they didn't do this for the XB's. I was expecting a limited edition XB to come out in the future

They did make limited paint sets for the XB. A stripe and a lightning patterned motif...

They weren't numbered but only a handful of sets were made...

Yes, those were numbered HD P&A items from (99-02?) not stand alone bike models, as stated earlier. You could purchase out of the HD P&A catalog, but some of the dealers put them on new bikes at sale. I think the price was something like $2,499 for the complete set, or something like that if I recall correctly, it was only for the X1. They were done by either Calibre' in Port Washington, WI or Color Shop in San Diego/Mexico and they painted stock body work.

Road Rash sounds right. IIRC, the gray is a concrete motif.

And with XB's not *having* paint...tough to do a paint set lol. Although there were the couple mentioned above, and the desert camo Uly...

"Liquid Lightning" was another set you could buy. 100 sets made. This one is "Road Rash", (50 set edition), I agree. Nice bike, even though I would prefer it on a 02 :-)

I was fortunate to get the 2001 apparel and accessories catalog when I bought my S1 last month. This looks to be it.


Radical paint set

That's one ugly paint scheme.

He needs some denim shorts and a slap bracelet to match that '90's' paint
