Author Message   2003xb9r Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2011 - 10:14 pm:        Happy New Year everybody. Does anyone know how many black '98 S1Ws were produced? I feel the only thing lacking in Court & Dave's excellent book is this type of info.   Buellish Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2011 - 10:21 pm:        Mine is black,well alright,black and carbon fiber.Maybe Brankin can chime in if he's not too busy celebrating the new year. http://s1120.photobucket.com/albums/l500/buellish1 /98%20S1W/   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2012 - 02:34 am:        Either the bike in the photo is not an S1W, or it has the wrong tank on it.   2003xb9r Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2012 - 02:58 am:        Good spotting, Ratbuell! The bike is mine & is indeed a 98 S1W. I fitted the smaller '97 tank on it which in my opinion makes them look way better. I have read somewhere Buell made approx 70 all black S1Ws but I'd like someone with definite knowledge to confirm / deny this please.   Eshardball Posted on Sunday, January 01, 2012 - 11:32 am:        OMG! What a nice place to ride. Puts the Cali coast to shame   2003xb9r Posted on Monday, January 02, 2012 - 01:40 am:        OK, after much searching the archives I have arrived at 378 all black ones, 23 of which had PM wheels. Thanks to everyone who chimed in.   Jos51700 Posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 - 07:52 pm:        If the bike pictured is a domestic model, then it is one of 49 built with single seat, black body, black frame, black wheels. Please look at the sticker and let me know what market it was built for. It may be significantly more rare. A VIN Number is always appreciated.   2003xb9r Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - 03:58 pm:        Domestic. It was sold new through Golden Gate HD Ca & I bought it from the first owner. How much of the VIN do you need? I really don't want to publish the entire VIN   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - 08:58 pm:        Cali bike may be more rare than 49 state...I would think the sequence number (last six digits) would ID the bike, yes?   2003xb9r Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 - 11:23 pm:        Then 230084 is enough info?   Jos51700 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 10:25 pm:        LOL... PM me the VIN. I need all 17 digits. It will stay private. It goes into my database, and that's it.   Jos51700 Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 10:27 pm:        Cali bike may be more rare than 49 state...I would think the sequence number (last six digits) would ID the bike, yes? The last 6 is ONLY the build number. It's possible to have S3, X1, and S1 all with same last 6... and yes, Cali build numbers are exclusive as it is a different model.   Ratbuell Posted on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 - 10:37 pm:        Yup, I know the sequence restarts with each model year (or every 1M bikes). Typically, though, since you know the bike is a '98...there should be only one with that number?   Backnblack Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2012 - 07:41 pm:        keeping my black/black/pm S1W forever
