Resurrecting my Buell X1 - 2000 Racing Stripes (611/800)...
Found out the intank fuel pump filter disintegrated... Fuel pump dead.
But no worries, found a replacement without buying the whole housing.
Was wondering tho, the inline fuel filter could have been hurt too, and planning on replacing it.
Should I go for the stock one ?
Any working alternative brands ?
I dont mind a flashy one...
I understood from a few searches on the forum that i should stay off the plastic ones ?
Any thoughts would be appreciated :-)

i got a billet one from ebay i think. You can take it apart and service it if you want. Pretty cheap, i think it was like $10. I have had no problems so far. I would change it out. Its cheap and you get the peace of mind.

The plastic one (original to my 99) was recalled and replaced with steel, so yes, I would steer clear of plastic.

Nothing wrong with OE. Just make sure the one you do get is for fuel injection, and can withstand 50+ psi, what the Buell system runs at.
