The twelve airbox has a dimple over the velocity stack. I guess that stirs the air up a little bit more than the 9x. I made one that does a great job, I had to do to modifications to the air "lid". I believe you can use the search tool with key words"air box mod", you should find some pictures of what every one is talking about. |

You think its worth the trouble of finding one, or just drill out my 9 airbox, also have you seen these- http://www.inextinc.com/xb9r/prototype_velocitystack.htm exsepsive but looks like you would gain from it alot. |

Riderx09... Do not purchase anything from that site. The owner has scammed and lied to many BadWeBers. |

Yikes.... Don't send any money to Corey. It's a long story, but if you do a search for corey on this site you'll have all the info you need. Corey showed gains on a Dyno sure, but they came from a cold air intake. Not the V-Stack. Do a search for "V-Stack Challenge" as well. As far as it being "worth the trouble" of finding one... Call Daves. He'll get you one for ~$30 or so (I could be way off, but that's what I remember). Everyone I've heard from that has used a 12 box on a 9 has loved it. It works so well Buell even did it on the '05 9's. |

Riderx09- you will notice a big difference in the way your bike pulls. Mine wanted to run on one wheel till I got used to the difference in the power band. But remember that I didn't buy the 12 airbox, just made something similar. If I wasn't going back to school and didn't have a shed full of stuff waiting to get used, would have bought one from Daves. Give him a shot, you will be glad you did. (Message edited by u4euh on January 20, 2005) |

Riderx You can trust Daves for anything. I purchased a 12 cover and a race kit for my xb9 and I had no problems. Fast friendly service = Daves |

Riderx - Yeah I have to say, DaveS at Appletons HD WI, is the REAL DEAL. I have been in email contact with regards to mods for my XB9s, He's like an Encyclopaedia of knowledge just for BUELL. You could even say in future Dictionaries under BUELL, there would be a picture of him, with caption, "Exceptional Service + Knowledge = DAVE" Hey DaveS, hows your ego today. |

It's more humbling to me than an ego boost. I am so lucky to have all of you as friends and customers. Dave |
