All, looking at a second set of wheels; somewhere along the line I thought I'd read all of the XB model wheels were compatible with each other but can't find that info now. Are there any restrictions between models or years?

All XB and 1125 models use the same rims, so the ones you want to purchase will work. That said, there are two things you need to know.

XB12X - All years of this have slightly heavier rims that are reinforced to withstand more abuse off road. They still fit all bikes and look identical to the untrained eye. Only available in magnesium color.

2010 models - All 2010 V-twin Buells have a new rear rim with 3 bearings instead of 2 like the previous years. This wheel has a different axle, and is compatible with previous year bikes as long as you use the 2010 axle.

Just because it had Buell written on it on only one spot doesn't mean it wasn't a Buell. : )
