The shock on my beloved 2000 X1 is done. I really can't swing a grand for a penkse at the moment, will an XB shock fit? They seem to be rather plentiful and cheap.

No-

An XB shock is a push shock and the X1 is a pull.... they are not interchangeable.

Look into a Works. I have one of those on my S2, and a Penske on my S1W - either is a HUGE upgrade from the stocker.

In a pinch, a stock shock from just about any tube-frame Buell will fit your X1, as long as the overall length is the same.

dammit, I knew that about the push/pull. Thank you for the reminder. Man a works is still a grand.

I wonder if HD would still honor the recall now that I think about it? believe mine has the second gen shock with the brace.

I just had my pogo rebuilt by racetech in MD.
In all it was $340 and it actually absorbs shocks once again.

There is the new kid on the block
http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/5191-15.html $790

or the base works shock

http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/6060.html $799

Either one will be better than the stocker

I also looked on Ebay and there is a takeoff from a 2000 S3 for $230.

Keep in mind, a Works and a Penske are owner-rebuildable...stock units are not. Buy one, and you should never have to get another.

If the NIB is a replacement kit for the recall it may have the bracket included! Double check with the seller.

Unfortunately otherwise they're pricey:

The search term is buell front shock mount. Any listed for the 14 inchers will extend properly to fit.

I would sell you my brand new recall shock and mounting bracket if you were interested. I kinda want to spend the extra on a works shock.

I know stock shocks are shop rebuildable. Which is why my post said Works and Penske shocks are USER rebuildable. I chose to go with a valve update when I had my Penske redone, otherwise I could have bought a few $ in seals and done it at home. I probably could have done the revalve too...but didn't trust myself with that just yet.
