I've got a spare, filed smooth and painted black, I'll see if I can locate it for you. I don't know what fair value is on these right now though so you"ll need to tell me what you think is fair once I get a picture up for you. |

I just bought one off ebay, if it doesnt work ill buy yours once you find it could you send the picture to Austin_walter@ymail.com . I ordered a 01 X1 mount looks identical to the one i have so we will see what happens |

Oops, I thought it was black, but that's the one on the bike now. This one I was going to polish but the casting is obviously too porous for a nice smooth finish like yours had. There is a ding, from where the frame bumped it when I crashed in Nov, 2002. I took it off when I put the bike back together in favor of a mount with the tab for the stock air box since my race intake did so poorly in the rain. This is the stock mount from my 2000 Cyclone, it was on my bike for about 13,000 miles, I think. I cut the tab off when I bought the Buell race intake.

I'll throw it back in the spare parts bin for now then. What did you pay for your mount then? |

Ok yea it looks identical to the one i just purchased. I payed $44.00 shipped prolly should of payed only 30 for a used mount but i needed it. Would you know where i can find an isolator mount at? |

Well that's the engine mount, the isolator is above that, mounted by the bolt that passes between the motor mount, isolator and then frame. So I'm not entirely sure what your question is. Check a local(ish) HD/Buell dealer if A.S.B. is too far off to wait for shipping.I don't know what MD has, I think Liberty HD/Buell in NJ or NYC was a sponsor here until this year, might be a good east coast source for parts. Looking at your part in the picture I believe you had a polished X1 mount there. Just found your old school thread too. |

Call or visit americansportbike.com for all your parts needs. If your local Harley dealership is like mine they will charge over three times retail for that isolator. ($85.00 from Harley, $25.00 from americansportbike.com) americansportbike.com is in California. They are honest, helpful, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing parts to us Buell owners. |
