You should be able to get one from any dealer. Lance of St. Paul Buell/HD is a regular here and can hook you up. |

We normally stock about ten of the front motor mounts. They are sold out at this time and on back order until 8/26. If they clear on that date I'll have a pile of them coming in. I'm just hoping they don't push out the release date two or three times like they did the last couple time they went on back order. |

That front isolator seems like the one XB-specific part that may cause owners issues in the future if/when HD stops supporting the brand. A guy on the BuellXB forum was trying to come up with a repair/replacement for them. His first attempt looked good but didn't hold up in service. I haven't checked in on that thread lately to see if he's made much progress. |

I have a used one in great shape if you are interested. Has about 10,000 miles on it. $45 shipped. |

I remember seeing that custom isolator thread. A nice looking piece for sure. However, it seems the guy didn't attempt to reverse engineer a good/new mount; hence the failures. Better would be the ability to buy from the OEM isolator maker. After H/D stops supporting the Buell brand, of course... |

I honestly don't think they will be discontinued any time soon. You can still order the tuber specific front isolator new as well, and the last tuber rolled off the line in '02. Nearly 100,000 XBs made over the years, much higher production numbers than the tubers or 1125s. |

The front mount for the tuber is what I put on my 2002 Road Glide. Harley makes the new ones out of harder rubber since the new bikes vibrate so much. I had to order the Buell part to get the correct rubber for my balanced engine. |
