    Xb12S intake rotation?

    Is it possible to rotate the stock intake to be side draft or do you require an intake from a sportster or something to get side draft?

    You can use a sportster intake to convert to either a carb or the sportster throttle body. It will fit the engine, but it won't clear the Buell frame.

    Hahaha, too funny. Let me clarify, I will not be using the Buell frame on this build. Planing on getting the replacement frame from Bottpower. That would be interesting, to use a sportster throttle body, maybe a sportster ECM?

    You don't need to use the sportster ECM for the sportster TB. The TB only houses the injectors, plug 'n play (pretty much).
    If you are talking Buell '08-up DDFI-3 with the IAC, you can do that too.

    There are 2 other places that also make the BottPower style Café frame, but seeing them in person and seeing the price tag (?!) I will make my own.
