I am looking to buy some Buell tank decals for my X1, I cant decide on red to match the Penske spring or silver, what do you think?
Still waiting on my gauge cluster bracket from the UK, have a new windscreen in carbon fiber like the front fender from Al at American Sport Bike.

Bike looks good!

Try cutting some letter size blocks out of red and silver construction paper and put those on the tank; see which you like.

Hope this helps, Dave

Black on black would look good too.

It looks really pretty nice as it is.
Pretty much its very existence says "Buell"

p/n 13970-99Y is for the chrome decals. They have a smokey chrome color. They would look cool.

In line with Gowindward's suggestion, perhaps painted on 'ghost' letters in silver?

I when all things are sorted, I would like to re-paint my M2 to clean up the scratches in the blue and change the color of my S2 from deep purple to white.
