mystery parts

[Carsten]

just picked up my project xb9s, https://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?55002-Project-2004-XB9S
these were laying loose under the seat...

any ideas? i think the spacer is for the front exhaust mount?
but the large bolt no idea!?

Thanks for help.

The big one is the bolt for the front engine mount behind the lower triple tree. Goes up towards the frame.

The bushing is one half of the exhaust mount that's on the bottom front corner of the engine case.

oh crap! the frame hole thread has been completely stripped, and it looks like someone has tried/started to make a helicoil for it!? it been drilled out much larger and re-threaded, (really course thread)

am I totally screwed?!

whats the thread pattern on the factory bolt?

That doesn't sound good, put some pics up.

I'd be fine with a decent heli-coil installed in there correctly

YIKES!!! The PO didn't own a torque wrench or obviously didn't know how to use it. Must shake like a BUGGER! Did you get the bike at Auction?

 

[Carsten]

yes an online auction, a non starter a fuel issue.. was hoping for a simple fuel pump fix..so buyer beware in this case, bit of a bugger.
will get pics when i'm home

I did an online auction purchase of an 1125cr, not as disheartening as your lightening. It wasn't the "DEAL" I thought it was. Lots of niggly issues. I now believe auctions are not the bargain I originally thought they were. Don't worry, folks around here will have you up and running in no time.

Good luck, your bike NOW has a happy home

heres a couple pictures, its been threaded right to the bottom of the hole,

looks like they've had an idea to fix it but haven't finished it

You'll have to:
1) Find out what threads those are in the frame. Try using a known bolt.
2) Check the diameter of the stock bolt
3) Hope that adding a helicoil or time-sert will reduce that hole to the diameter you need regardless of threads.
a) If the threads are the same or can be adapted (by using a time-sert) your GTG.
b) If the threads can't be changed (by using a Heli-coil), get a bolt the right thread for the heli-coil and the right diameter for the mount and use a thick fender washer under the head of the bolt. It will be a fine permanent fix.

Don't know about an XB9 but I would think it is the same as on my Ulys - there is a factory thread insert that is meant to go in the frame and the mounting bolt threads into that.
See item 12 in the pic below taken from the parts manual.
For my '06 X that part number is 12 C0028.02A8A - Thread Insert

There is also a screw holding a snubber that is supposed to be in that smaller hole - see parts 7 and 21 below.

7 AN0805.5CSS - Screw
21 L0506.02A8 - SNUBBER, Front Isolator
