Hey, I need a primary gasket for my XB-9 (2007) Do any Harley part#s work.? I can order on from American Sport Bike, but I got a dealer fairly close. Thanks, Brian  | ||

The gasket from a 2004+ sportster will work. | ||

They gave me one from a 2007 sportster. If you look at the case on a new sporty, it is round were the starter-drive is, the Buell is more of a 70 degree corner...That is my problem | ||

I'm sorry, I thought the cases were the same with the exception of the uniplanar mounts. American Sport Bike is probably your best bet, unless you feel comfortable asking your HD dealer for a Buell part. I always get the stink eye when I ask, so I ask for sportster parts, or I just order them from Al. | ||

Your HD dealer won't be able to get one unless he's still an official Buell dealer. If you're desperate, you can usually reuse the old one at least a couple of times. | ||

The range of experiences buying Buell parts from H/D dealers is amazing. California Harley/Davidson parts department has always been helpful when I order Buell parts. Except having to pay up front to get the parts ordered... | ||

I've never had an issue getting or ordering Buell parts. Find a different parts counterperson and ask them. | ||

I just order from Al, he always treats me very well | ||

If any shop doesn't have the part I need for my Buell in stock, I call Al. The parts person will say "I can order it for you" and I say "I can order it myself and it will come to my door." | ||

Oh come on Dan you know you like doing a 3 to 5 hour drive to pickup your parts. | ||

I was under the impression that XB's run the same primary cover as the Blast, which carries a HD PN. Is that incorrect? I don't have a Blast cover in hand for an actual physical inspection, but close-ups of images posted online appear the same as the cover on my 07 XB with the exception of the color. | ||

Blast and XB primary gaskets are different. One hole near the starter doesn't line up. A small silly difference that really annoyed me when the "XB" gasket I drove across town for in terrible traffic didn't fit. I just ordered one from Al. |
