Author Message   Vamark Posted on Friday, September 30, 2011 - 12:00 pm:        I need a primary cover for my 2004 XB12S mine got busted when the shifter hit the road. Let me know if you have one that will work. I have finally recovered from my spill back in June. The front end came up faster than I could react and I ended up on my a$$, that hurt but not as bad as my knee which had a hairline fracture in the femur at the end, 3 months later I'm back to work. Thanks Mark   F22raptor Posted on Friday, September 30, 2011 - 12:49 pm:        Keep your hand on the clutch lever and think of a piece of rope tied to your shoulder. when the front end gets to high, you don't have to react as you will pull in the clutch without thinking. you can also use the rear brake, as this will bring the front end down even if you have rotated past vertical!   Pontlee77 Posted on Friday, September 30, 2011 - 12:53 pm:        some one remembers Biaggi?   Vamark Posted on Friday, September 30, 2011 - 03:48 pm:        I tried to push the rear brake but I guess it was too late.   Vamark Posted on Friday, September 30, 2011 - 09:39 pm:        So has anyone ever welded the broken part back in the cover including the half bolt hole broken out? I am a machinist with access to the best welding machines.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Saturday, October 01, 2011 - 07:40 am:        If you have the skills and welding machines ,what are you waiting for!? make sure that the broken part fits okay ,usa a Tig welding machine tag it in place ,maybe you check if it fits properly on the bike. If it is possible pre-heat it (in a oven) and go weld it together ,after welding let it cool down on its own way.   Mermark Posted on Saturday, October 01, 2011 - 10:09 pm:        That's butt ugly, I have one for fiddy plus shipping let me no if you want it 9097718297 mark   Brother_in_buells Posted on Sunday, October 02, 2011 - 06:11 am:        Function over form!!   Bjul Posted on Sunday, October 02, 2011 - 09:52 pm:        PM sent on a straight XB12R primary cover (in Magnesium color)that I have, complete with good clutch cable. $95 + shipping. Let me know if you want it and you can pay me with PayPal   Starwolve Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 02:06 am:        Bjul - sent you a PM regarding that primary cover if Vamark passes on it. I'm rebuilding a 04 Firebolt that was hit by a drunk driver, and the primary cover is on of the last parts I need to find for this bike.   Starwolve Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 01:32 am:        Still looking for a primary cover to fit a 04 Firebolt if anyone has one. I'm going to weld up the damage on the one I have, but I would prefer to have a good one to use if possible.
