XLFs of the default population with the parameters in Table 2 showing the population with BH mass normalized SN kicks (blue lines), the population with fall-back normalized SN kicks (orange lines), and the population with no normalization on the SN kicks (green lines). The populations follow the remnant mass prescription from Patton & Sukhbold (2020). The populations are further split by the type of mass transfer that occurred, RLO (solid line) or wind-fed accretion (dashed line). For the sake of clarity, the Be-XRB population is not shown as it is not affected by the kick normalization and obscures the effects of the BH kick normalization.
