    Has anyone replaced intake gaskets on an XB without rotating the motor? And if so, what fancy tools did it require? I'm thinking a 1/2" wobble socket is in order.

    Maybe that can be done....one side of the intake is an Allen bolt the other was a 12mm I think....the problem is going to be the amount of space between the top of the intake and the frame. I just dont think there going to be enough room to rotate the intake enough to change the gaskets. Let me know.

    Service manuals can be downloaded off of Buellmods.com or top of this page. Won't match you exactly but will work.

    Disregard. Just had to plug the 90 degree elbow on the right side of the throttle body.
