| Post subject: | Buell X1 Lightning 2001 in Carbon & Black (with buyback) |
Bought off fleabay in 2010 for 3grand in yellow and bog standard with 8K miles ...(how sad) ~numpty only did factory services not seasonal Ditched the plastics (sold on fleabay) bought a full carbon kit (everything). Full US gearing, speedo was second hand with 14k on it, bike and Mot says 16K but actual is closer to 12k most of that done this year (4k miles). Winter garaged, always warm and dry stored since I've owned her. All gaskets less Head and Base revision 7 aluminium and Kevlar, plus the heavy rubber and steel starter motor gasket. Forcewinder with head breathers, works fine especially if vented to atmosphere, no nasty bottle to empty ; ) Standard ECM reflashed with Pro maps done by my mate Chris who beta tested the first ECM Spy software. Only a very early version will re-programme the standard ECM. All the bits that matter or don't matter like the exhaust clamps, rectifier, stainless casing bolts, subframe, alloy dash, led smoked taillight with led number plate illumination, tribo seat cover, made to look pretty or bought new to replace scruffy, adjustable levers, the clutch lever mount is R1 with lockable adjuster for when the original cable goes out of adjustment, (cable lasts forever) the usual, all fasteners locktighted and correctly torqued ; ) Pics out of date (will update soon ) as have alloy rider pegs, undertray and one of them sticky things on the tank skin for scratches. Still have the left side scoop (it's a personal thing) also have a carbon trim to fit in there too! New rear pads and just serviced by me as apart from Maz there's no one I'd trust to do it better ; ) Bike has a late edition Wileyco silencer, it's not as loud or as nice as a Vance & Hines but it's shiny and nearly new and the hanger bracket looks like it will never snap if well looked after (very heavy chrome). 2 good neutral Avon Storm 2's, 8 months MOT and 2 months tax. Both Keys, original manual, service manual on PDF. All receipts from original purchase and some of the receipts from my purchases. UKBEG Member since 2005, my second X1, first got trashed and sold to a mate for 3 grand, it's still going with nearly 40k miles. If after 12 months or less if I've re-raised the funds, you hate her or she's not for you then am interested as long as she's undamaged in re-acquiring for the same price you paid, less for damage. £4500 no offers. I fully expect not to sell her on here but it's an option, next month she will be in the MCN and on Bike Trader. http://barabbas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/lates%20buell%20right%20side.jpg http://barabbas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/latest%20buell%20left%20Side.jpg |
