Custom Buell X1 Lightning by Officine RossoPuro

I’m surprised we don’t see more Buell X1 Lightning customs. The motor has a lot in common with the Sportster 1200 V-twin but pushes out around 95 hp, mostly due to Erik Buell’s high performance ‘Thunderstorm’ heads. Filippo Barbacane of Officine RossoPuro is a fan, though. The latest custom from the Italian workshop, ‘Big Red,’ is a Buell X1 Lightning upgraded with modern suspension and a thoroughly contemporary look. The 41mm Showa forks are gone, replaced by beefier 50mm Marzocchis, with Öhlins now on duty at the back. A complete new Brembo brake system hauls the bike to a stop....
