I LOVE how this Ilmberger Buell Carbon Fiber Swingarm Fill Panel looks! I dig how it gives the swing arm right side the solid look, symetrical to the left side (with the oil resevour), while adding virtually no weight because it is carbon fiber. I got mine from Sierra Motorcycle Supply for $187.00. They are very high quality made in Germany by Ilmberger. The Sierra web site does not specify, but I understand the panel fits the '05 and older design of XB swingarm. Due to the nature of my business, I contacted Ilmberger and was able to import a lot of these to share here with my Buell brothers. I feel like it is is such a different and unique mod, giving the swing arm that solid look, and will make your bike stand out from all the others. I am able to sell these for my cost, which is $100 + shipping. PM me if you want one. For your security and ease of payment I accept PayPal. Here are some photos:

Thanks for looking! Let me know your thoughts!
 
Think about it - the practical benefit of this panel is it substantially increases the enclosing of drive belt, therefore reducing the debris and moisture that reaches it and resulting potential damage and increased wear. Did you know that the Service Manual for the '05 XB12R has 10 (ten) ! entries under "Required Action" in Table 1-8 "Potential Limits to Belt Drive Service Life" of "Inspect for damaged / missing belt gaurds"? That's right - find those belts gaurds, get 'em out, dust 'em off and put 'em back on your bike if you are interested increasing the service life of your drive belt, possibly saving you from being stranded who-knows-where with a premature broken belt. AND - get yourself one of these carbon fiber swing arm fill panels from me to further protect your expensive drive belt.
