Yes, it's made by Air Tech. And that's a kit for the S1, not an X1 unfortunately.

I think it could be adapted to any tube frame Buell because the holes for the air filter and mounts are not drilled at the factory.

Not sure about the XBs though.

One of the best things about Buell's tubers (IMHO, of course) is how well the V-Twin is displayed. I miss that aspect in my XB; a full fairing only hides it more.

Yea it hides it more but he wasn't asking about that.

The rear fairing would probably need a custom subframe built for it

I sat on that bike, very cool. Mark, the owner of Cross Roads Performance had a couple of nicely modified Buells in his stable. Although the frames are different between the S1 and X1, your biggest challenge would be the alignment of the fairing and tank, the S1 was angled differently and much more narrow. The tail section would also need to have some custom tubbing work added.

They make some cool stuff for all the Tubers.

Its worth a look see.

You'll need a custom rear subframe and an s1 tank

It looked really cool but I took mine off. Beside the fact that it hid the entire motor and acted like a sail in a cross wind, the riding position with clip ons that are below the top tree make it a 30 minute ride before your wrists and forearms hurt. Tattoodandscrewed got my clips ons in a trade

I have this fairing, it needs some fiberglass work but it's all there. I'd sell it or trade for something if someone is interested.
