Quick question: Will an XB12XT front fender fit my '09 XB12X if I remove the funky beak? Love the Uly. Not crazy about the beak... tia, Lornce |

If you want to ruin the good looks? Yes, it will fit. but there is a small gap because of the XT's lower suspension. Ride safe |

Lots of folks have put XB front fenders on Uly's, but the fender looks smallish on the long legged Uly. I made this one specifically because I didn't like the beak on my Uly: http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/9405.html More discussion and pictures here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/171 43/336717.html |

I have a black XT fender I took off my X that the PO put on it. I had to drill out the screws because they put red lock on the screws. The holes got a little hot and out of round but will still work and look good with stainless washers. If your interested i can post some pics of it. |

If you do, don't forget the wire form that holds the front brake line away from the tire that you don't have on your X model.

the x holds the brake line on the fender. |

Man, I want to "beak" mine up. You thinking of selling it? |

Thanks for the feedback, lads. Anyone with an XB12XT want to trade their front fender for an XB12X beak? My Uly's blue. If your XT's red, I'd be interested in a complete bodywork swap.
