There's a thread awhile back about these. 1313 had some info on them. I think basically it was a CF bike with a white frame, wheels and different windscreen.

Buell made a Japanese Edition X-1 and that is not one. Looks to be a regular X-1 with with a few standard CF pieces, and a gas cap. The things that would make it a Japan Edition, blue CF including the rear hugger, and white frame and wheels, are missing.

I agree, that's not one. I just saw the second craigslist posting. Clicked the first one earlier and it had been taken down.
It might be a CF Extreme but it's not Japanese.

It's my bike. Not really sure what the story is on the gas cap. VIN search on H-Dnet idicates that it is in fact a carbon fiber edition but it was a domestic bike. No clue how this gas cap got on the bike but I didnt but it on.

Beautiful bike by the way!

It would be cool if you could find out the story behind it. I've always wanted a japanese windscreen for mine.
