This one. http://www.bankeperformance.com/buell/images/SKA-1 2.jpg OEM shifter is such a CRAP, feels homemade. I am just worried it is for later X1s since I know they changed shifters around 2001/2002? |

They are GREAT. Top quality. I have their shifter and brake, as well as their tail-piece eliminator and oil filler. All great stuff, and worth the money. |

Banke shifter is the single best improvement i did to my 99 x-1. the newer x-1's have the updated shifter so the banke is not so needed. I second what Jayvee said. |

Mine's 2000 and it SUCKS. So surely it is same as 99? |

The stock shifter change was 2001. Banke makes one similar, to update the early bikes to later style, but with Banke quality. Or the original style Banke shifter/brake, which I had to buy an X1 mount so I could use with a chin fairing on my 2000 M2. They do polish up really nice.

The Banke is a very nice mod, though pricey. I just got the Buell updated version for about half the price. I added the oil lite bushings and am quite pleased w/ the results. Very tight and precise, a substantial improvement over the awful looking wrap around. |

don't know about pricey for a banke. when i called the dealer in topeka,KS which according to some is THE DEALER i was told 4 weeks and money up front for a newer x-1 shifter. I had a banke off ebay from a member here for about what buell wanted and no 4 week wait.. good luck getting the updated shifter from buell! |

That's a bit surprising Tom_b, the Buell web-site shows it, along with several other Buell parts sites. Forgot to mention those bushings from American Sport Bike, they even helped the Banke. Those are cool. The x-1 mount is a two-piece affair, the chin-fairing goes sandwiched in between the two pieces. And right,the shifter arm is a bit longer too. |

It's not pricey if you compare a used Banke against a new Buell version. When you go new vs. new it's twice as expensive. The 4 week wait seems odd. I had mine thru the HD dealer in 4 days. My dealer also gave a 20% discount. It's also available on a number of web-sites. |

Call Banke direct. I got mine in a couple of days. I've had it over two years and love it. Check with Al at American Sport Bike, he carries them. |
