Anyone know the bolts used to secure the windscreen to the headlight support bracket? I thought they were 3/16 UNC but that doesn’t seem to be right. My cherry bomb windscreen is showing cracks...

Yeah. I should have bought some parts a few years ago when they were only $250. Not too worried about the price.
Preferred OE. I bought my lightning new in 2014 from a guy who had it as an ornament in his pool room. 23km on the clock. I want to get hold of some replacement parts, especially the ones that are...
Can anyone post a link to the source of these parts?
I’m aware this post might draw laughter but does anyone know where there might be a Cherry Bomb air box cover and flyscreen? I should have bought these a few years ago when they were only scarce :(
Leave it to the professionals then...
I've got time to work on this one. Did you see my other post? Another toy to play with :)
Are we more likely to see wear in the top end for race bikes? Assume I could just drop the engine and rework or replace the heads, pistons, valves and rods. Last time I did this was a Jag v12; long...
A local property developer had 3 in his bar in the west wing of his house. He sold 2 and had the 3rd one for sale but was not enthusiastic about getting rid of it. It was his favourite piece of...
I have the service guys doing a fuel pressure test, too. Possibly fluctuating fuel pressure will give similar symptoms. I guess the other thing I'm thinking is it might have excessively worn bearings...
Thanks for the help.
You're quite right. The S&S is based on the older model engines. Not going to work then?

22,000 km but from what the service guys are saying, it looks like it was raced early in its life. I'm already replacing the throttle body and clutch cage, got a new chain tensioner coming, just...
I just dropped my 08 XB12Ss into my local dealer with the same symptoms. They thought initially it was just a loose, worn or broken tensioner. Got a call a few hours later - clutch cage falling...
I'm in the process of replacing the throttle body (wandering idle, cut outs, backfires, etc) and I've just found out the clutch cage is falling apart :( So it's a new clutch cage as well. At this...

It's not a very good photo but I only picked it up last night. I'll take a better shot in daylight.
Mines a 2008 then, sticker is missing but it's a 25th anniversary model. So any engine listed as a Thunderstorm will fit? What about the Sportster S&S? Sorry if these sound like dumb questions....
And in other news, I'm looking for a good source of used motors, maybe from crashed bikes, with low kms to replace the one in my 2008 XB. I've got a possible engine in Aus but it listed as the...
I am now the lucky owner of a new 2010 XB12Ss, 3km on the clock. I called my local dealer and asked him when was the last time he did a first service on a Buell. Then I asked him if he'd like to do...
Thanks for the advice. Will do.
Yes, it won't idle when cold. Just cuts out. When it warns up it will idle but when approaching a stop, the engine revs sometime drop below 500 and the engine cuts out. Did a TPS reset but not much...
This sounds very similar to what I'm experiencing. Can you confirm the following?
- Engine starts but stops after about 10 or 15 seconds
- Engine idles around 1000 rpm and even after it warms up,...
