Did Buell change the front fender color from gray to black somewhere between 2006 and 2010?

I nicked the front fender in the garage.

The part for the 'Lower Left Front Fender' has been superseded to: M0024.1AKMBE at $70

My question - the description states its 'Body Black' - but mine appears gray.

My bike is a 2007 XB12X - did Buell change the front fender color from gray to black? And then change the part number with a superseded one?

Thanks


...

From this photo of a 2010 XB12X, the front fender looks blacker, compared to my 2007 and compared to the front beak in the photo.

Not sure what year, but they did change from grey to black. I've got both colors on mine.

The fastest of all front fenders, of course.

thanks for the info - I think I'll run with the XT front fender in black at $56. I imagine all of the hardware fits the new fender.

I have a black XT fender that was on my '08 XB when I bought it. Two of the bolt holes (in the fender) are a little warped (from the heat of drilling). I had to drill out the screws because the PO used RED thread lock on them and I couldn't get them off. It will work OK with metal washers I'm sure. I'll let you have it for cost of shipping to your house (send $ via PayPal) If it doesn't work, well it's still cheap.

'the front fender looks blacker'


'It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.'

Spinal Tap? Anyone? Bueller???

Back on topic...the handguards also changed color : )

'These go to eleven...'


Hear ya loud and clear, Ratbuell. As a former musician, it really is scary how close to real life that movie is.

Hijack over, I promise.
