Author Message   Kaoticnoize Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2015 - 11:52 am:        Have almost everything for the xb wheel conversion on my X1. Having a hard tim finding the rear wheel spacers/adapters. Help!!!   Gianni312 Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2015 - 02:35 pm:        They are on eBay.   Red93stang Posted on Friday, February 20, 2015 - 10:23 am:        Pm sent   Catfish_ssffss Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2015 - 02:17 pm:        The ebay seller ID is diels172l9. I've spoke to them and they are also working on a steering stem and caliper bracket to make the swap easier.   Catfish_ssffss Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2015 - 06:33 pm:        I also found these guys that make XB wheel spacers, steering stems and top triple tree w/ risers. http://shop.bareknucklechoppers.com/product-catego ry/buell-parts/   Red93stang Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2015 - 06:48 pm:        All that stuff is for Sportsters by looking at it. The rear spacers are for sure incorrect.   Mighty_mouse Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 02:39 pm:        What are the advantages of the XB wheels? Weight? Braking? Or is it just the looks? MM   Red93stang Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 03:08 pm:        I went from pm wheels to xb wheels. A loaded rear pm wheel weighs about 35-36 lbs, a loaded rear xb wheel weighs about 31-32 lbs. I haven't weighed the front wheels but I'm sure the weight savings is their also. Plus the advantages of the perimeter ZTL brake system is nice. I used 03-04 forks and trees on my S1W project. That was a huge upgrade over the original WP's. Then their is the looks factor. I love the look of the xb wheels on a tuber. Some will disagree with me on the looks aspect, some say they look out of place. All and all a good upgrade imo!   Phelan Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 04:04 pm:        I'm hoping to score some EBR wheels for my conversion. The hubless setups should be quite a bit lighter than the XB stuff and give me a better dyno result .   Red93stang Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 04:28 pm:        I have been wanting to do a new style front wheel since I saw it on the B2. The rear wheel with the crush drive I don't think I am willing to tackle. Btw those weights above are loaded. Meaning tire, rotor, pulley and wheel bearings. A front loaded xb wheel is about 20-21 lbs.   Phelan Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 05:40 pm:        The cush drive is actually on the front sprocket on the EBRs, not the rear. Many racers use an 1125 front sprocket to ditch the cush drive and save over 2 lbs rotating mass. It would require a chain conversion though as no HD or Buell pulley will bolt up.   Red93stang Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 05:59 pm:        Gotcha! Learn something new everyday!   Dannybuell Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 06:12 pm:        the 1125's have the cush drive on the front sprocket.   Phelan Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 06:38 pm:        Interesting. The 1125 sprocket was something Dan told me. Maybe there's a different piece he was talking about.   Red93stang Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 07:30 pm:        1190 crush drive 1125 crush drive Looks like you are both correct. I think they use the 1125 chain conversion kit to eliminate the crush drive on the 1190. They have to machine a 3mm longer spacer for the idler. Rear looks like it will be too expensive for my pockets or at least until they are 10 years old and parts are cheap I'm out, lol   Phelan Posted on Monday, February 23, 2015 - 09:02 pm:        Ah, yeah that would be it. Didn't think about the 1125 being a belt factory. Yeah the EBR wheels retail for $1000 for the rear and $700 for the front. NOTA cheap...   Red93stang Posted on Saturday, February 28, 2015 - 02:27 pm:        XB wheel conversion spacers are back in stock.
