All, I have an extra set of wheels and would like to pick up the small bottle of touch up paint. I have Froggy's gouge http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/443642.html but I'm not sure what the color would be. Seems to be a dark gray - not quite black? I suppose it's the "Villian Black" color scheme but I'm not sure. Any ideas?  | ||

It is either Villain Black or Phantom Metallic. Villain is glossy and smooth, Phantom is textured, and is the same as your frame/swing-arm. I can't recall off hand if the 09 SS had Phantom or Villain wheels. | ||

Froggy, this seems to be glossy. I'm not sure which year they are from. I bought them off a guy who was going to use them on some sort of Sportster project. They had the old bearings; not sure which year they switched to black - 08? | ||
| Froggy |
Ah that is Villain for sure, as Phantom is pretty new. The newer bearings aren't really that much better anyway. | ||

Thanks Froggy. As for the bearings, I thought I could notice a slight hitch in the front so replaced those with the newer ones; the rear felt fine so I'm sticking with them. I figure I will probably replace tires at least twice this year (maybe more with a track day or two) so I will have a chance to check them every 3-4 months. I'm not changing them until I notice some degradation. | ||

Froggy, which part number would be the right one for the touch up paint? I didn't see a "Villian Black" in your previous post of colors. Is it one of the grays? | ||

Intersting, I can't find one for it. Here are what the colors are for. GRAPHITE GREY - Older XB12 frames MAGNESIUM TONE - XB12 Engine parts TRANSLUCENT AMBER - The goldish XB rims HAMMERTONE SILVER - Various XB parts FUSION BRONZE - various 08 1125R parts CHERRY BOMB RED - Cherry red XB wheels HERO BLUE - Blue XB wheels PHANTOM METALLIC - Textured black XB rims, 09+ frames. MILLENNIUM SILVER - Tuber color POLISHED ALLOY - Tuber color VOLCANO GRAY - Tuber color BLAZING ORANGE - Tuber color XB, SILVER - Fluid silver, older XB9 frames BLACK CHROME - Tuber color TITANIUM SILVER - Tuber color TITANIUM - Tuber color. I checked again, I don't see one for Villian Black, Sunset Orange, or Sky White. I hate to say it, but might be a case of tough luck, unless someone knows the part numbers I can't find. |
