    Sanity check...

    Ok....been a long project. Where does this end of this hose go? Looks like it comes from the crankcase and appears to be a breather hose. But where the neck does it connect???

    Put it back through the frame and zip tie it to the rear shock. Crankcase breather.

    Google is your friend!
    The search on the forum has been known to be a little shotty. Next time google "buell XB...." plus whatever you're trying to figure out, and you'll be amazed the photos and threads that pop up.

    Brother, I have my fingers crossed for your rebuild/rocker box success. Seems like it's been one hell of an uphill struggle!
    Very proud of you for tackling this on your own. Despite all the you've been through to get it done, you've tackled a major DIY buell project and saved yourself about $800! That's the high end of what a dealer would try to rape you for on a rocker box job!

    BTW if you don't have one, go to www.buellmods.com for a service manual. Will help you answer a lot of simple questions.

    I'm struggling with the part about where it comes through the frame.....just loosened the top shock mount again to try to route it. No joy......
