never seen anything on here with the differences between the two until after I broke down and got the parts. Hope maybe these pics might help some people.

Ill weigh them, but I think the pistons in my tube frame bike are non-OEM. |

Here's a complete XB top end (with XB9 pistons btw), installed. It definitely fills the frame out a bit more, and looks better IMHO:

Kinda looks weird. The bigger fins make it look funky. Wonder what the temperature and power difference is... Anyone have a full write up on converting a s1 to xb12 topend? Id love to get the new ported XB heads. |

Wilson, I would be interested to hear your evaluation of the XB9 top end vs the OEM 1200. I like the big fin look too. |
