Here is your chance to own a nicely built Buell X1 Lightning. This bike turns heads everywhere I have taken it. Just about every area on this bike has been looked at and freshened up.




Work performed was


New metallic orange powder coat on frame and wheels

New black sapphire blue two stage paint with white pearl in the clear coat

Top end refresh with new rings, valve stem seals and gaskets

New updated bronze oil pump gear installed

New updated primary chain tension shoe installed

New primary and cam cover gaskets

Grenade plate (clutch spring plate) replaced with two steel and one friction disc

Updated crank seal installed

New American Torque (I think) rear fender eliminator kit

All new wheel bearings and steering head bearings

Repacked swing arm pivot bearings

New forcewinder intake installed with modified breather tube to eliminate breather drool

New gel grips

Freshly packed Vance & Hines SS2R slip on

Fresh high temp silica coating on the header and slip on elbow

New front fork seals and fluid

Fresh zinc coating redone to most of the hardware

Fresh brake fluid

Engine and primary oil changed 400 miles ago

New starter gasket and sealed around stator grommet

New bar end mirrors installed

Ignition, seat and steering head lock were all keyed to match

Replaced one shift fork in the transmission with a good used fork


Non Stock Parts on the Bike


Vance & Hines SS2R slip on

Buell race ECM

Carbon fiber tank filler fairings

Color combination

Color matched tail section

S3/M2 style fiberglass rear fender (Doesn’t shake as much as the original)

HD derby and ignition covers


Good things to know

Everything works, lights, horn etc.

I’ve put about 1400 miles on it since its completion to work out any bugs

Bike was built to be ridden so it’s not a perfect piece. I’d rate it a 8.5-9 out of 10

It has a couple of stone chips already and a scratch in the clear on the tail

The seat is my spare and looks decent but shows some wear on the edges and corners

Clear title in my name with both frame and engine vin numbers recorded

Engine and frame numbers don’t match so this isn’t the original pairing

All isolators are in good shape

I was planning on installing new Bridgestone Battlax T30 tires but you may not like them so I’m willing to pay up to the cost of the T30 tires, $230, and you can pick what you want. If it’s more, you cover the additional cost and I will install and balance them myself to help prevent scratches to the rims.

I had a few threads going for the rebuild of this bike. Check them out to see all the work that was done.

Hi Andrew, I originally rescued this bike to rebuild it and sell it to an owner who would take care of it. I have two other X1s so I really don't need this one. BTW I was just driving through Beaver Falls all this past weekend!
