Yet again badweb and the network of people here make this my favorite site.
A while back Bbbob posted there was a good deal to be had at the shop he worked at but he did not need (want) the bike, just some items of interest from the bike. I contacted him and as luck would have it, I live close.
The shop had a 99x1 for a little over $1000 bucks. It was rough but did have some nice bits. It had a works shock on it and some billet pegs that Bbbob wanted. He and I were able to come to a deal where he'd take the goodies he wanted and I'd buy the bike. He essentially got what he wanted for free and I got a heck of a deal on a bike. Bbbob is such a class act that he swapped the works shock with the stock one from his x1 leaving me with a very rideable bike. This is what I took home.













Well, I pulled the fairing and sold it. I still have the speedo and tach but I am going to run it without them. I bought a $70 driving lamp- the same one on the Mert Lawell street tracker from Omar's- and a can of satin black paint for the tank cover. A few bucks for some hi-temp header paint and I shot the header and the Vance and Hines can too. $18 bucks got me the bars and another $18 got me the turn signals.
What I have now is a unique looking bike for under $1400 dollars. Thanks for the opportunity Bbbob.
Here it is now... I am trying to fab a new subframe for a XR flatrack tailsection.

Nice ride! Im diggin' the Buck Rodgers Cylon headlight and the blacked out tail.

Sweet deal too. BWB Buellers are a cut above the rest.

$1000? For that kind of money, you could have covered it in fur and I'd still like it!

I'm cursed to a life of paying full retail it seems.

Andrew,
The bike looks great! That was a win-win deal all around. We should go for a ride soon. I'm a civilian Bueller now so I have plenty of time.

Hughie03flhr,
Not too sure but is is stock on the Mert Lawwill production bike-



That thing is produced in CA- so it may be street legal.
I am thinking about sliding it down and putting a number plate on it...

Where's your front fender and will you part with it?
I kinda like the flat-track look but I think I'd put the speedo back on. Sometimes I'll look down and be very surprised to see how quick I got going that fast!
Let me know about the fender.

Nice X1 one of a kind. Where did you get the bars? Did you shoot the header on the bike or pull it off?

The bars are from dennis kirk and I took the headers off...



That is where I encountered 2 exhaust bolts coming out and 1 breaking as I removed it. Not fun.

Jstfrfun-the fender is in rough shape- chipped and pieces broken off around one of the mounting areas. If you are looking for a pristine fender this is not it. If you'd like pics -PM me.
