Could anyone shed light on what are the best bet for front and rear isolators on a '91 RS1200 please? The options appear to be later Buell parts, L0405.9 (left), L0404.9 (right) and L1501.8 (front). Or Harley numbers 16207-79D (front) and 47564-86B (rear). The Buell numbers seem way more expensive and I am not sure the later rear isolators will fit. (I understand with modification they will fit an S2 frame). What's the opinion on the way forward please? Thanks. |

Note that the old style rear isolators will split sooner tor later. Have not seen the new style break on any of my S3, S2, nor RS1200 Buells. So, I recommend the new style. Note you will need to shave a bit of the metal off the rear isolators, (Shiny strips in photo), see photos in my post of when I replaced the front and rear of my 1989 RS1200; http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/235244.html?1162572461 Note the discussion concerning the front isolator. After this post I replaced it with the newest part. |

Thanks, that is the exactly what I was looking for. I know a guy who has fitted the new style isolators to an S2, so I think an RS should be similar. |
