Buell Mirrors

[rtmarsh]

Fellow Buellers,
I really like the idea of having LED turn signals in my mirrors, and as you know, the 1125r has this nice feature. I was wondering if the stock 1125r mirrors will fit on my 2004 Firebolt XB12R. I have called the local Harley dealerships to see if I can take a peek at an 1125r, but all I get is "aw man, you just missed it, one just sold 5 min ago. Let me get your name and number and I will call you when one gets in." Can anyone help me, or offer any info?

We have both of the bikes here. I just walked over and looked at them both, and it looks like they should just bolt right on, plus running the wires. I dont want to disassemble the floor models to see if it works...lol, but it looks like it will work. Same studs and spacing on the mirrors.

If I replace my 07 xb9r turn signals with the 1125r LED turn signals in the back and the 1125 mirrors in the front will I need a load equalizer? If I do can I just order one form Harley along with the mirrors and signals?

[BuellPartsGuy]

Yes you will need a load equalizer to run that set up.

[BenJamin444]

At americansportbike.com they have a LED turn signal flasher made for LEDs will this work as opposed to the load equalizer?

[BuellPartsGuy]

Yes

[rtmarsh]

Thank you Buell parts guy for the info.

[BuellPartsGuy]

No problem

[BenJamin444]

Yes thank you all the parts are ordered and on their way! Ill post pics next week.

[BuellPartsGuy]

Yeah, let us know how the install goes.

Where is the Flasher located I have the rear arrow turn signals on and the 1125r mirrors should be here soon. but I have looked in the owners manual and searched online and can not find the location of the Flasher to replace it with the new LED flasher. any help?

[BuellPartsGuy]

In one of the electrical boxes on the fairing, left side I believe.

[strmvt]

the flasher is mounted under the fairing zip-tied/bolted to the fairing bracing backet behind the headlight on the right side of the bike

[BenJamin444]

Thanks

I looked at putting those on mine, when I heard the 80 a piece I looked at other alternatives. Luckily for me I was able to find some aftermarket ones at a local yamaha dealer, but the mirrors themselves are from drag specialties. As far as looks go, I went into the local HD/Buell dealership to show a saleman buddy of mine and we compared them to the 1125R's mirrors. Other than them being a little smaller they are pretty damn close to the 1125's stockers. When I get them on Ill post some pics up.

I ordered them last Monday for less than $65 a piece. the rear led blinkers for the 1125r are around $50 a piece. The Mirrors should be here soon. I will post pics.

[BenJamin444]

So i just finished putting on the 1125r mirrors on my 07 9r.
the now mirrors come with 1 male and 1 female connector so replaced the female with a male. and I had to drill a hole to run the wires everything fits great and works fine.... I also replaced the flasher instead of a load equalizer.

oh here is the hole where i ran the wire.http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1238_20080221210254_L.jpg

[BuellPartsGuy]

Kick ass! They look good. I thought they would fit...

[strmvt]

I'm going to Toledo HD and ordering mine tomorrow thats fricken wicked. I have LED signals on the front but a stiff breeze pulls the rubber off the mounting stud and I have a hanging signal lol now to figure out a way to hide where the stick signals mount how did you take care of that

[BenJamin444]

I just used the same bolts that hold the air intake cover it looks good and natural. I also got the finished led signals for American sport bike and they look good as well I will try to get some better pics soon. Plus it is hard to see the leds i have around the engine. Thanks

[buellxb]

Sweet! Looks good and I'm sure it's safer as well. [up]

[badbandit12]

Those mirrors so look great on there!!!!! I could not find the tread of someone asking for some good mirrors for the xbs bike but I have installed some today that looks great on these bike!!!!http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/1152_20080223092716_L.jpg

[rtmarsh]

WOW, that does look sick! I am really impressed. Benjamin444, what kit did you use for the underglow light? Was it a pain to wire?

[BenJamin444]

It was a led kit some company was selling at a big bike show in Atlanta and were doing discount installs so they installed it i don't know what kind of lights they are but there are different kinds in different places. and they hid the switch for it in the rear fairing which is pretty cool.my parents actually ,made me get more lights in the back because they didn't like the single brake light and how the turn signals weren't running lights so that was my solution, putting 4 bright led above the rear wheel. Thanks for the comments.
