So an easy question for the experts: which engine is compatible with my X1?

I believe any HD EVO Sportster motor will bolt up with some modifications.

1991-2003 XL {front motor mount bolt smaller in head}
1995-2002 Buell

I do believe that the some or all of the 4 rear bolts are larger on the Buell compared to the XL's.

IMHO, any PRE-isolator mounted EVO "SPORTSTER" engines will mount up to the the BUELLTUBE FRAME ...

Thanks for the replies. When the time comes the buell will wake up from his long hibernation with hunger of road and miles.

I may be wrong, but i don't think there are any mounting holes in the front heads on sportster motors for the front motor mount. You would need to put thunderstorm heads on the sportster motor. I am sure someone will correct this if I am mistaken.

All Sportsters since 1986 have the bosses cast into the front head for a motor mount. I can't speak to the difference in hole/bolt sizes, stock on the Sportster front head is 3/8x16. I doubt the rear changed any at all.

Man, this many responses and I still don't think your question has been answered properly: what do you mean by "compatible"?

Lots of engines will bolt into your chassis but, only very specific ones are a drop-in replacement, that will work with your factory fuel injection, etc. There are things to consider like the heads, cams and the presence of proper sensors and ignition triggers.

Do you need a replacement engine or are you just asking which bikes you can buy chrome engine covers or gaskets for and have them fit your stock engine?

the heads i think they are fine, pistons and jugs possibly shot, crankshaft shot, cases shot, primary should be fine and gear box too. so what i really need is the bottom end with the crank shaft as i have spare set of jugs and pistons that just need to he honed.
