Current ride: '03 XB9S Lightning
Location: Dundee, Scotland
Just purchased an XB12S Lightning engine which I’m looking to use in a build I’ve been thinking about for a few years, thinking about converting the motor to carburettor. So, looking to buy other parts and thought I’d ask the forum on the off chance some of you have parts lurking in the back of the garage that are no longer needed before trawling Ebay where most Buell parts are in the US. Of course buying from there incurs import duty and higher delivery costs.

All parts I’m looking for are tube frame.

* front and rear wheels and spindles
* front and rear brake calipers
* rear brake disc and master cylinder
* air filter suitable for XB 12S
* top and bottom yokes
* wiring loom

The motor isn't going in a tuber frame, it's intended for a custom build.
