Those are the numbers cast in the head, not necessarily part numbers?? |

Not all the 98 tubers had TS heads. All the 99+ did. What color are they? |

FYI - The pistons will only be black if they're used |

Color=black is the best clue. Color = black with no highlights on the fins is the best clue. Fixed it for ya. Stock XL heads on '95 S2's were black with highlighted (polished) fins. |

"Fixed it for ya" Rat, as usual, is correct. Thanks! |

For me, looking at the top of the heads is the best clue. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/599726.html#POST1933319 The caveat is that I'm not sure what the Lightning heads look like. |

Black heads are also original to the HD XL883R so you need to know a bit more than only the colour to distinguish |
