Has anybody put a translucent airbox cover on a 05 or earlier XB? On the buell website it says they will only fit 06' and later XB models. Thanks for any input, John.

they're all the same, it'll bolt right up. the difference is the newer covers have that screen intake behind the gas cap.

it will fit. the reason it says that is because the older bikes dont have the air hole by the gas cap like the newer ones do. also the newer ones dont have the hole in the left side of the frame has been closed up.

I thought that was the only difference but i figured i would ask. i wonder why they say it is for 06' or later?

O4 XB12S with the Vallencia Translucid:





The Translucids also use a special washer and spacer on the front bolts.

Next question. Is the "ash" color what you would want if you are going for a black out look?

kick ash is translucent black.

the reason they are listed for 06 and newer is that is what they came stock on.

Yea, the Kick Ash is an awesome color. Just dark enough to do black-out and still have the cool see-thru look. So, I'd say Yes.

Kick Ash = Translucid
Midnight Black = Solid

I had a translucent blue on my white XB9R. I liked the way it looked.
