New to Buells here. I'm currently shopping for fork replacement for my 09' XT front forks that were installed on my 06'XB12X. The PO damaged both fork cap internal threads beyond help. But I'm noticing that the 09'XT(pretty sure but not positive) forks that I've removed DO NOT have the 3/8" offset that you mention. So now I'm confused; which seems much easier these days for me. Could you shed any light here for me?
suspect you're confused Sir because an XT model is NOT a Ulysses. it is a Touring Model. factory designation is XT. Ulysses factory designation is X. different parts content.
2008-2010 all X and XP(police model) LEFT front fork assembly part # is J0121.3AK
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" RIGHT """""""""""""""""""""""" # is JO122.3AK
view image. see the offset?

The forks that I've just recently removed off my 06' XB12X Ulysses are #J0121.1AV & J0122.1AV, and they are straight; without the 3/8" offset. PO installed these forks, I suspect, to benefit from the progressive spring, better road manners, and the lower 1"stance. These newer 09'XB12XT? forks have the 43mm tubes instead of the 47mm that are on the newer models, so they fit right on the 06' Ulysses. Am I still confused about this? Am trying to get up to speed w/ you guys, but isn't an XB12XT a Ulysses; a touring Ulysses,no?

[QUOTE=Barrett;623840]Sir: hope this helps. several good sets on ebay.
there is no such thing as a 2005 XB-X model. it first appeared in 2006
not what my VIN plate saysbuellplate.jpg
There are some early model 2003 XB9's with VIN stickers that show production dates of 2002.
So, yeah... they probably build XB-X models in 2005 to release as a 2006 model, in the year 2005.
