Did some digging using the search but I wanted to reconfirm.

The NGK web site still seams to be wrong when trying to list the plugs for an XB

I am pretty sure the correct plug is DPR9EIX-9 (or DCPR)

Also most people seam to run the Iridium, how do they look after 10,000 miles.
Does anyone have any luck with standard NGK series?

Correct : ) The DCPR is the one to go for as they include the screw on terminal cap. If you get the DPR you will have to scrounge around to get a cap to fit with the stock Buell leads.

I have seen the Iridiums after around 8,000 miles and they had no appreciable wear on them at all. The centre electrode looked like new.

Standard NGK plugs (DCPR9) are pretty much the same in performance as the standard 10R12 H-D plugs, and are more prone to fouling than the iridiums.
