BPG. I completely destroyed my sub-frame, side rails, under storage tray(?), cheese grater assembly, plastic holding seat latch. I will be able to salvage lights, seat latch etc.. My question (finally) is what years and models will fit my 2008 XB12SS and what suggestions do you have. THANK YOU!!!!

All SS's are the same...


Just a thought, but why not use the insurance you should have on your bike to repair it. Probably going to be cheaper

$500 deductible and really don't want to see rates go up if I can keep repair under $1,500, will it be more than that?. What year models will fit the '08?

Well if its just the things you listed it should be below that, but chances are there might be more messed up than that.

It will definetly take several hours of repair time but that is my penance for screwing up. What year can I go back to and still have the parts fit?

BPG, I get it now. I did a search and best I can tell Buell started building the SS in 2006. Thanks for your input!

Thanks Dave xb12r, it took a few minutes for it to dawn on me.

BPG. In case it ever comes up again. $570.86, all new parts, and six hours of my time. It was actually nice to get back to wrenching, I forgot how enjoyable it is.
