The bars are very comfortable, provide more leverage and hand protection in an urban environment. I have the original bars and mirrors that will go with sale as well. I bought it with an upgraded Drummer exhaust that sounds and performs amazing. I always use synthetic engine and primary oil and have taken immaculate care of the bike. I have set a low reserve so good luck bidding and thanks for looking.

2000 Buell X1 Lightning (2000)
You are looking at a 2000 Buell X1 Lightning. It is black with a blue frame and factory PM wheels. It currently has 26,xxx miles. I believe I am the third owner. I bought this Buell in 2007 with 10,xxx miles, so as you can see, I've had it for a while. Mechanically, it is completely stock except for a K & N filter. The engine, exhaust and ECU have not been modified in any way. According to the guy I bought it from, the H-D clutch and timing covers were put on by the original owner. I polished the rear subframe, to better complement the wheels and covers. The rear hugger was also removed by a previous owner. Other than that, everything else is stock. Even the rear fender is intact. I have changed the oil every 3000 miles or so using Mobil 1 synthetic and had a 20k mile service done by the local Harley dealer. The tires were replaced last year, and I had the seat recovered at the same time. This is an increasingly rare bike to see on the road, especially one that has not been overly modified. This Buell is located outside of Wilmington, NC and is available for local pickup only. I have a clear title in hand.2013-09-26 23:14:07Winnabow, North Carolina, US26,9002,500.00
