Author Message   Cowtown Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 02:38 pm:        I have a few questions on a 2004 XBS 1200 and a 2007 XBS 1200 comparison: 1. Will a 2007 1200 engine with all components and swingarm plug into a 2004 frame and wiring harness? 2. Are the steering heads the same? Can I put the 2007 forks and trees on the 2004 frame? 3. Are there any differences in the rear axle and wheel? Will the 2004 wheel and axle fit the 2007 swingarm? 4. Are there any differences in the rear shock, drive belt or pulleys? Thanks in advance.   New12r Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 03:18 pm:        Will a 2007 1200 engine with all components and swingarm plug into a 2004 frame and wiring harness? Should fit, they only changed internals on the newer models. Are the steering heads the same? Can I put the 2007 forks and trees on the 2004 frame? Again, they should fit Are there any differences in the rear axle and wheel? Will the 2004 wheel and axle fit the 2007 swingarm? The wheels are the same but the swingarms are different, I dont know if the axles are the same or not. Are there any differences in the rear shock, drive belt or pulleys? Belt has been upgraded but will fit 04 pulleys, and as far as I know the pulleys are the same, check the angles on the idler tho. I am unsure on the shock but they look the same to me. Hope that helps. Why are you asking, you got a bad frame on an 07 and found an 04 cheap??   M1combat Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 03:26 pm:        I think the forks are a different diameter.   Tq_freak Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 03:41 pm:        Yes, fork are different diameter, you will need to change the lower triple tree, the upper stays the same.   New12r Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 03:49 pm:        Can I put the 2007 forks and trees on the 2004 He wants to swap the whole thing.   Tq_freak Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 04:05 pm:        Oops thats what happens when you try to sneek badweb in at work   Cowtown Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 04:33 pm:        I own a 2004 and bought a 2007 with a bad frame. I was 99% sure it would work so I got it. I’m replacing the swingarm, because it looks so dang good, just a few light scratches. I want to keep the amber wheels and if the wheels are the same then I’m assuming I just need to keep the axles with their respected swingarm. Hmmm, better check the front axle. So far I got: The engine will bolt and wire right up. Swingarm with axle will swap. Only the lower tree needs to be swapped with the forks, the upper is optional. Thanks, guys, keep the info coming.   New12r Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 05:46 pm:        Tq, pardon my proofreading, I have nothing to do at work....Different thread..... so I read badweb all day.   07xb12scg Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 05:53 pm:        Won't the 04 frame have an extra intake hole in the frame?   New12r Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 - 07:19 pm:        Yes, but that will only reduce his fuel capacity from the 07. The 07 inner airbox is not open at the hole to allow the air in.
