Stupid question ,I don`t have my thinking cap on maybe... are front and rear cylinders interchangeable? Asking this here with regards to a 2005 1200 sportster which should be the same as the Buells 2005, so say a rear cyl. on a 2005 1200 Sportster should be able to be used on the front of a 2005 1200 Sportster as well?

No, There is a connecting rod relief notch cast into the rear of the front cyl. And cast into the front of the rear cyl. | ||

Ahh that makes sense forgot about that down there, However I guess one could cut that relief out on a miller etc.... But thats a good point all the rest being the same then except for that? | ||

I can't remember the pattern for the mating pins, I'd check that too. | ||

Ummmmm, the XB cylinders are identical. The only notches to be found are on pistons, and I think then only on aftermarket long skirt or stroker pistons. I'm pretty sure the XL cylinders are identical as well. | ||

Hmmm Now ya got me guessing? | ||

Hogs, there are no front or rear cylinders (when speaking of stockers). They are the same. They do not have a notch at the lower end and both oil return holes are bored straight through. So YES You can interchange them. Regards Alex (Message edited by Alex on January 28, 2008) | ||
