Searching for XB lightning

[Isobuell]

Hey everyone first actual post here. I've been searching for XB body style lightning. Preferably 06+ XB12. Perfect match would be an XB12scg in the see-through orange or red. Im located in North Alabama. Trying to stay under $5k. If anyone has one for sale or a lead on one I would greatly appreciate the info. TIA.

Like this one? I'll sell it to you for $4000. Its a 2009, which is better than the 2006-2007 models, it has the red see through plastics, and is under $5000.


2009 XB9SX in Cherry Bomb Red.
25,568 on the odometer. I've owned this bike since 2013 and it's been the most fun motorcycle I've ever owned. It's in very good shape.

Its currently near the Cleveland area and would like to get 4000 for it how it currently sits. I have a buell factory race pipe, an extra belt and some other parts I have lying around I'll throw in for 4500.

Send me a message and we can talk. I unfortunately don't have any real way to transport it as I don't own a truck and it doesn't fit in the wife's prius. I can ride it to a nearby location but my back isn't what it used to be so I don't want to take it long distances. I'll post some pics below that I took today after giving her a wash.


Its in Ohio, and being held at my "cousin E-Z"s place.

I can probably even arrange delivery to your place for a small fee.

Nice, not sure he'll fit on an SS if he's looking for an scg. I may need to send that person my obligatory "how can I get you to part with your select seat" e-mail...

There just "might" be a really nice Gold/Black 2006 XB12Scg for sale in Los Angeles. 3-bearing rear wheel, Drummer, CRG levers, New fuel pump assembly, and everything.
Someone wants a Firebolt

My 05 SCG is still available. Send me a message. Lots of extras, custom tune. 86hp and 94ftlbs to the wheel. Looking for $4,000 OBO with all take offs.

Doesnt that swingarm look really long though? I cant tell from the pics if its yellow or white, but the early Ss bikes have a white spring.


edit: never mind, I saw the other pics and the fork is definitely Scg. Can I switch my vote?

There also "might" be a really crappy Gold/Black 2006 XB12Scg for sale in Phoenix. Blown motor, taken apart, lots of extra parts including a 2 bearing rear wheel and NOS OE black levers in the box and everything.

Someone wants his garage back:black_eyed:

Why not just put a Firebolt front end on the Scg? Heck, selling off the modules and the flyscreen should more than cover the price of the Firebolt front fairing and mount. Plus I know someone who has a Firebolt upper clamp for sale. However some knucklehead ground off the ignition mount :black_eyed: :love_heart:... but what a great opportunity for a keyless RFID ignition.

Thanks you guys for the responses. I'd really prefer a 12 over the 9, but E-Z's bike is definitely sharp. And i swear it seems like the farther the bike is from Alabama the more affordable it is,and the closer to me, more expensive. While for the right deal, i could buy the bike and have it shipped to me, I'm just leery about buying a bike ive never seen in person.

 

[Isobuell]

Hey 34nineteen, what do yall mean when you say "3 bearing rear wheel" or "two bearing rear wheel"?

I know what you mean about the anxiety of buying a bike totally unseen. I bought the Ulysses I have now off Ebay last January from north Dakota. I made a lowball offer and the guy came back with a deal including shipping that I couldnt say no to. I fully expected that i would find a whole slough of problems with the bike when it arrived, but was pleasantly surprised to find the biggest issue on the entire bike to be a corroded spark plug wire. If u do your research on the common problems and get a feel for the seller you can really lessen your chances of getting hosed.

That's the big thing. Buying from a reputable seller is going to be huge. The Buell community is still fairly small and tight knit. We all kind of know each other in one way or another and know which people definitely take care of their stuff.

Hey 34nineteen, what do yall mean when you say "3 bearing rear wheel" or "two bearing rear wheel"?

Most of the XB's came with two bearings in the rear wheel. At the end of production, Buell was just introduced a wheel with 3 wheel bearings. Two on the belt side, one on the other.
