I've seen a couple fitted to Buells and I think it was Norm who bough an X1 a few years ago that had been converted by the previous owner for similar reasons.

Some sensible mods which will save headaches in the future.
On the primary side upgrade the primary chain tensioner to the thicker one and the gear detent plate to the harder pointed star shape one.
Change the front engine mount from the inverted V shaped one to the much stronger ali billet one (availible from Maz)
On the timing side cut down the cam cover and re route the oil lines then they wont chaff and wear thru on the bottom of the engine. See how to section. At same time upgrade the oil pump drive gear.

This all involves a lot of spannering but its possible for even a numpty like me with the help of this club, and parts wise ain,t mega bucks and will build a hole load of reliability into bike.
An AST shock is also well worth the expense as is full US gearing.
All the best Rich

I heel/toe change on the 900 monster, and I've used that method since 1999. I've also had 26 years to get used to riding minus 1/2 leg, so should hopefully manage the Buell ok.
