What would be the best way to re-finish the primary and gear covers? I would like to make these parts black like the 9s. | ||

Trade covers with a XB9S owner. (like me)  DBird | ||

Could someone please tell me if the primary and gear covers on the 9S and 12S are compatible? | ||

What is the part behind the wind screen (holds ignition switch)? From memory that would be Magnesium casting, I remeber holding one at the factory and it only weighed a few gramms er I mean oz for you non metricated folks | ||

I talked to a parts guy today at the local HD boutique and he told me the primary and gear covers on the 9S and 12S are not compatible. Could Bubba or Dave confirm this? | ||

Hard luck: i am certain that there was not a redesign of the primary cover or inspection cover on the XB12. the parts will interchange. | ||

I would not doubt it...The shop here in town makes sure to keep idiots in stock! | ||

Hardluck, Do I take my covers off & trade with you this Winter or not?  DBird | ||

I could confirm it IF I was at work. But I'm not I would think that they are interchangeable. I'll try to remember to look on Friday. Ride to the edge! Dave Iowa HD/Buell (Buell Cycle Center) | ||

hardluck If your going to get them get them from dave since he was here first. but since he's not at work heres your answer. yes they are totally interchangeable. Its an accessorie for christ sakes. Go back to your local boutique and tell them to pull out their P&A catalog. its right there. god I am about ready to go on another rant. why hell are somany employees so friggin stupid. do your job people or leave and get that drive up window job. your ever loveable angry buell guy Brian Tilley hd/buell buckinfubba@hotmail.com | ||

The maroons, Brian, are looking at the different part numbers and not actually looking at the parts. The numbers would be different since one is black and one is magnesium colored. Hardluck you could always just order the "wrinkle black" from Eastwood company and do it yourself. | ||

Some days I wonder what the average IQ of these idiots is? How do these same people make it to work without being run over is beyond me. It would drive me completely CRAZY to have to work with people that fricking stupid every day. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box either but come on. Ride to the edge!

I am not the sharpest crayon either.... hell I ain't even professional half the time and look at me go.....oooops I just trip over some chrome | ||

See that is a big difference, you guys enjoy the bikes you work on and sell parts for. As has been pointed out we are the red-headed step children. We don't buy the chrome or the mega dollar bikes so we get the poor treatment. A friend of mine that has a sportster runs into the same treatment often enough. | ||

I think those guys are just tired of staring @ our asses on the streets and in the twisties and they have to take the frustration out on us somehow! |
