I am a newbie to this excellent forum. I was wondering where do you get the xb12s cover. I checked the buell website and yahooed it and nothing about it. Where do you get it and do they come painted to your bikes original color. What about the price? I have heard about $35. Thank you, all the info that you have given me is very helpful.

All the parts you need are a click or a phone call away to any of the great sponsors here, just look at the sponsor banners. Or call Dave at Appleton H-D Buell. O and I'm pretty sure all the out side covers are the same, you need the 12 air box that is under the painted piece- more volume.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Cmm213 is correct. It is not the outer colored cover you want but the inner one. And yes they all fit the same on all bikes. I don't know about more volume but the 12 cover is a definite improvement. It's all about that inverted cone inside. It directs & flows the air much more efficiently than a 03-04 9 cover. One last tidbit cause I think it's kinda cool. None of the plastics are painted. The color is molded in.

Not so a recommendation as a "this is what i did":

12 airbox
Pro Air Filter
Pro Plugs
"De-Snorklefication"

Part no.s in my profile. Smooths things out nicely. Very affordable. Not really a HP upgrade but rather a removal of some EPA stuff and allowing the engine to breathe and be all that it can be [in stock form].
