Can an XB12 engine be built into sportster cases? What parts are required if so? cheers. |

I have the chance of another XB12 engine, was thinking of building a bobber using as many Buell parts as possible. The XB style mounts don't lend themselves to a cradle type frame, although I have seen XB motors in conventional frames I doubted the structural integrity of mounting the motor like that. The sportster cases idea was to allow conventional mounting in a cradle frame, I like the power delivery of my buell, and just fancied doing something different as a project (if it didn't work out I'm left with spares for my XB) |

The sportster(04 on) is a shit to mount as it to is rubber mounted but in other points. A sportster motor can be as good as a buell motor with a bit of work as its the same give or take this and that.
