Will the sportster wheels fit on our xb buells? Have found some wire wheels that were really cool looking as though the xb isn't different to look at now.

Are there any other wheels available for xb's? I like the red I have, just wanted something different.

Different colors are available from Buell but the wheels themselves are all the same.

Take a look at Buell's website (under accessories) to see the different colors available.

Off hand I can think of the Cherry Bomb, Amber, White, Black and a really cool Blue.

I don't know of any aftermarket wheels for the XB but I've never really searched for it either.

I think any wheels other than the buell ones have to be custom ordered/made because of the way the rotor mounts to them.

wire wheels are what peaked my interest and I think that would be very sleek and old school.

I agree that wire wheels are absolutely gorgeous but I wouldn't run them unless I could find some that were tubeless.

It's a lot easier and faster to plug a tubeless tire to get you home or to a shop.

The one time I got a flat on my Sporty (wire wheels) I had to borrow a friends truck.
The one time I got a flat with my Buell it was clean hole, insert plug, inflate with small compressor (that I keep in the tank bag) and ride. : )
