I presume this has already been covered on here, but apparently my search technique needs some improvement.... I'm looking for info on physical size differnce(s) from the tuber/sporty motors to the later rubber-mounted Buells - I have a chance to get a XB motor for a reasonable price and would like to drop this into a sporty frame...certainly I know that there is some fab involved, but would like to get a better feel for what I'm getting into prior to making the commitment. |

XB motor uses different mounting system on rear of cases than the tube framed bikes.Don't know if you can use it in a Sporty.Dimensions otherwise similar. |

Thanks - do you know if that rear deal is the same as the 2004 sportys? - I know of a guy who cut that "tab" and was able to use the "stock" 4 bolts off the trans, which, I'm led to believe are still there. |

I don't know for sure but the oil filter location might cause you some trouble. |

There is no mount on the back. The XB swing arm mounts directly to the back of the motor. You would need to fab a mounting system to adapt a rear mount, there is a mount where the rubber mounting goes on the XB motor. |
