That is a GREAT question. I've never seen that done before.

I met a guy who had cr front fairing/headlight on xb with firebolt tail. He had to fabricate custom bracket for it though. It looked pretty sweet.

I've been thinking about putting a CR headlight. The XBRR i saw looked like it had the 1125R front on it.

It can be done, the fairing mount is the same for both bikes, I have both. So the fairing stay will bolt up, but you will need to find a place to mount the ecm, fuse box, ect. There is nothing in the 1125r fairing but the headlights and IC.
The other problem is you will need to find a way to mount the xb IC in the 1125 fairing stay.
So it can be done, but would take some work to get everything to fit.

I think it may look a bit...... odd. The 1125R has the pods so it evens out the huge front. But who knows, it might look prety good

Wish I would taken pics I had one on my Xb it looked huge and oversized
You can get a great deal on 1125r fairing stays and headlight form ebr cheap.
Who ever asked about a firebolt on a 1125 r I think it's solo Buell has a fairing kit with a bolt upper

i have heard that the fairing bolt locations on the 1125r fairing and the firebolt fairing are close if not the same. it could be very simple if htat is the case.

I thought about buying the XBRR front fairing and fitting the 1125R headlight assembly but I think it would look like bug eyes. I have not measured everything but my buddy has an 1125R headlight assembly in his garage.
