I'm looking for pushrod cover orings and intake seals for an xb9, anybody in the STL area have them? Wanting them today if possible, tomorrow works as well.

Got lucky, local dealer had them in stock and was open today. Rode the 1190 down there and back, so it was a worthwhile trip no matter what.
What a nice day for a ride, just got back from a short 60+ mile one on the xb. Did about 100 this morning on the 1190 to go get parts for it.
So apparently when I put the frame back on a couple of weeks ago, I pinched or frayed a wire that goes to the starter circuit. I had ridden it a few times, then installed the steering damper a few days later. I guess it was a week ago Friday, I popped the main fuse about 1 mile from home and had to have the wife pick me up. Looks like it was at the subframe rail on the left side next to the ground screw. I found a couple of wires that were rubbed through, so taped them over and shifted the wire bundle more to the center. Starts up every time now, although I wonder about the starter reliability after extensive testing for the last 30 minutes of starting it and shutting it off again.
Anyway, back to riding again tomorrow, high is only going to be 80 here, so it's almost a day to just say screw it , not go to work at all and just ride.

Ahh, it's just some 2" angle iron I welded together just to hold it all up. Did it last year to tear the motor apart, had to use it again for pulling the frame. It's not something I'd want to build a bunch of though. I bolted it through the front exhaust mount on the bottom of the engine and where the 1/2 moon bracket is in the back. I used pitbull stands to lift it up, put the stands on and then dropped it back down to sit on those supports. Wasn't too hard to make them.
Bike ran well this morning, seems to like the cooler weather at 60 degrees. Went to work (against my better judgement) and managed a small burnout for one of my co-worker's entertainment.

Got ya...I printed your pic. WHEN I get that far, I may try to fab one up. (Unless I can talk you into cloning one!!). I too use the PitBull stands...they are sweet! I bought the one for the front that has a pin into the steering stem. IMO that's the way to do top-end work compared to the engine rotate method. It MAY be more work, but it sure looks like nice working like that.
I can post the dimensions later if you want them.
