Does anyone knows the difference between different XB exhausts I saw a post in XB12X facebbok where Doncasto is selling a lot of parts (hundreds) and has some exhausts but the part number has one last letter which is different. Anyone knows about these differences? I have a 2006 Uly. Thanks sorry for long post. | ||

The size and structure is the same with two exceptions. First, XB12's have interactive exhaust valves, XB9's don't. Second, the Uly has the outlet pipe in a slightly different position to avoid interference with the side stand when it's up. I think the other models all have the lower outlet pipe. Is it possible that even though the parts were listed under an XB12X heading that they all aren't XB12X parts? | ||

The last letter is either the model of the bike it was for, or it is the version of the part if multiples were released. Depending on the part, no letter or "A" is first, followed by B, C, D, etc. Using belts as an example, G0500.1AKF is newer than .1AKE or D. The G is a part type (exhaust bits all start with an S). The first 0 usually indicates a standalone part, with it changing to a 1 or 2 sometimes like if it is part of a kit or multiple parts. The 500 is the real part number, then the first few characters after the period indicate which model it is off of, like .1AK is a 2006 Ulysses. Given that most of the parts are shared with other models, you will find Uly part numbers on other bikes and vice versa. Not all parts have a version letter, they will end with just the .1AK or whatever model it is (I believe the muffler was one of those parts) Off the top of my head, the stock muffler should be part number S0110.1AK, but given that it shared with the other long wheelbase XBs it might also end with .1AU, .1AV, .1AN, or .1AS | ||

The one i found is S0110.1AA Based on ur explanation Froggy, this should work on a 2006 Ulysses. Right? | ||

Ruans187, I ran a '05 XB12 Lightening muffler on my Ulysses. The only problem is the side stand hits the exhaust tip. | ||

The.1AA means it is the Firebolt/Lightning XB12 muffler. It will work, just the kickstand will hit the tip of it. Only difference with the Ulysses/Long models muffler is a different outlet to clear the kickstand, but both will work | ||

Thanks again. I do have a Jardine, but always wonder if should but a OEM for later on, plus not being able to jack the bike is not good. Do i need to mess with ECM or just a TPS reset when changing exhausts? | ||

When you install a stock muffler. The interactive exhaust valve will have to be made operational... Depending on what the last owner did, this could be as simple as reconnecting the cable to the muffler valve. | ||

Great information . . .the parts identification fog has lifted some. | ||

Also worth noting is that early Uly mufflers have a heat shield spot welded onto the outlet pipe whereas the later mufflers do not. As far as the Jardine, yes you jack the bike without the muffler installed. But if you aren't running a chin fairing, that's as simple as 2 bolts. |
