All XB and 1125 models use the same fender, only exeptions are the X and STT (mini fork guards). The fender is available in many colors, or carbon fiber :P The catalog has a list of all the part numbers for the different colors. http://a1264.g.akamai.net/7/1264/1354/a9ee727eacaf 91/www.buell.com/en_us/_media/pdfs/gear/Buell-Prod ucts-Catalog.pdf You will need to get a different piece to hold the headlight to the fork, you can make it from a piece of bent metal and 2 holes drilled if your too cheap. For aftermarket panels, there isn't a huge selection. American Sport Bike and Trojan have what your looking for. |

Highly recommend the American Sport Bike C/F ULY fender, looks more fitting on the X then the regular XB front fender size, plus offers better protection of the fork sliders from road debris. bruce |

Or the Treadmarks Acerbis version. That gets my vote. |
