I transferred out of the Memphis area in February but don't know any blue Buells. I know a guy there who's really in to Buells, but no clue if he's on this forum or not nor what he's got in the...
Anyone know of some bike junk yards I could contact to look for this? I'm still amazed that it's so hard to find an imperfect rear seat; plenty of good ones, but nobody has any with "rash", cuts or...
Still looking....
I'm hoping someone out there has a torn up rear seat that I can get cheap. I really just want the frame and braketry of it to try to make my own 'quick mount' tail bag system, so I'd prefer not to...
Rear seat for an XB12R?
And I moved the two links from above with the pictures of the emergency repair parts I used so, in case they don't work anymore, here they are:

Sorry, forgot to post up part and install pics. Follow the picture links for a few more close-ups.

Fish, I don't know if you took a pic or not, but I'll try to get one put up here when I get a chance to. Thanks for the quick turn around and the customization. I love how it turned out.
Just as a tip for anyone in the future that has their shifter linkage break and needs to get home:
It ain't too pretty, and certainly only for emergency use, but it's cheap and easy and can probably...
Heck yeah Fish. Thanks for the tip. My search didn't include that section in which you have your custom ones posted up or else I might've run across it.
That being said, I thought I saw that the...
Went to adjust mine a little and SNAP, one of the heim's threaded ends broke. Guess it was corroded.
Shipping would be to Memphis TN, 38011. Time is of the essence though cause I can get one...
1) So that rear shock is the lowered one, not a regular one, right; and it'll work on my 12R? (Matched up with the Scg black forks)
2) You have $300 listed for the rear wheel, is that actually for...
Do you have all the parts to lower an XB12R? I saw the front forks are from the Scg; is that rear shock listed from the same bike? If so, I may be interested in that set-up. Also, do you still...
Got the complete kick stand assembly?
Nice lookin ride!
I'll be up in OC MD in late September for the VW show H2Oi and will have my XB12R with me. Any places to ride there or is it pretty much flat like it is here in Florida?
Thanks Dave, I love mine, that's for sure! They are pretty cheap to buy these days but they are definitely still not cheap to maintain; at least if you want to do anything to them. I certainly...
I don't even recall when I first found out about Buell. I just remember, whenever it was, knowing that all the innovative designs was just up my alley. I'm all about using what you already have to...
The first time I ever had a piece of machinery that warranted a helmet was my 4wheeler. I debated not wearing it once; smartly decided against NOT wearing it... Flipped the ATV on a hill that day...
Mid July sometime I think.
My DD before the 08 XB12R. 22PSI supercharged VW.

I'm in Jax/Mayport but I'm deployment right now. Can't wait to get back and ride the wheels off my new XB12R! Bought it just before I left.
Thanks to all the civilians for the support and thanks to all the active duty and vets for serving with me. Hello from the Indian Ocean Region. USN - home port Mayport Fl.
Very good info guys. Thanks! That's got most everything answered unless there's anyone on here that actually has done what I'm trying and put a 30t front pulley on the 12 in place of the factory...
Thanks. That partially answered the first of the two questions. Still don't know what the counts are on post '03 XB9's are though. Did the later 9's swap to the bigger belts just like it says the...
