I installed a schwinn speedo on my buddies x7 and his top spd was 36.5. The bike has the PBU headstrong kit/ PBU adjustable filter/hp carb/PBU dual boost bottle and exhaust. BTW: the kit was installed at the PBU facility. I was a bit disappointed with the entire PBU upgrade. The kit didn't perform as we really expected it to do. I was expecting the top speed to be in the low 40s. Probably a change in gear ratio might make a difference. It is frustrating when U put all the cash into the bke and it won't reach the speed as one would expect. In my buddies case he spent a little over $700 for the mods ONLY.
You are definately on the right track ask the questions and do the research. This forum has saved me hundreds on wasted upgrades. My X2 w/CVT is now hitting 35.2. The upgrades are a Used pacsales pipe($60) hand me down rocket key and boost bottle/ generic 15mm carb ($40) 54 tooth rear sproket ($23) more for low end speed and the total cost was $123. I can probably hit close to 40 mph if I were to go back to the stock 44 tooth sprokt.
Bottom line is don't expect to much from certain upgrades that are out there. Just my 2 pennies.
