1125 Side Scoop on a XB

[VPimentel]

Hey Guys, I've searched and read almost every topic and haven't found any info on that, is it even possible?

I remember when the first 1125CR came to the dealer in Brazil, i just loved that scoop and really wanted to put it on the XB9 that I was buying at the time, but the deal went off.

Now I just bought a XB12SS, and again the idea hit my mind, is it possible to addapt the 1125 scoop (pic below) to the XB?

Anything is possible. Your biggest issue is going to make it look good. Meaning you are going to have to do some work to make sure your brackets aren't hanging all over.

I say go for it if you want it.

I want to see it. Dont let other people turn you off. It might look mid evil.

I'd be cool if you could put 2 on and attach them to the normal air scoops for the rear cylinder. You'd never have to worry about the back of the motor getting too hot.

Personally, I love the crs, and they're really growing on me, but I still think if I ever got one my main goal would be to swap the tail for a lightning tail, get some of those radiator cowls I saw someone on line once to replace the scoops that looked a ton better, and possibly replace the headlight too. Basically I'd be going for the XB12S look with the CR motor.
