1125CR with the XB tail

[texasroadranger]

I got call on Friday that more parts have arrived for my conversion project. I got the Renthal clip-on bars but more and more homework I do, the more the stock 'clubman bars' sound better and better. I found some brembo master cylinder levers for brake and clutch but then Im being told I will need to replace the actual calipers as well. Anyway, I should have the stock 'clubmans' on the next week. The XB lightning tail is still being set aside for now and will be in the 'fabrication status' hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Im very honest that I 'REALLY' want to do some good designing and homework on this conversion because of sooo many people asking about the conversion. I know people want to do it and some have tried and failed. Im actually trying to put it on paper with measurements and all so others can do it. By all means, if anyone has ideas or comments or complaints or bitches, I don't care!!! I really would like feedback from as many people as possible... Please give me ideas of what YOU want to see and maybe anything I may be missing or forgeting to look into while designing.. Im gonna try and design this conversion for 2 people, rider and passenger. Thanks for all feedback.... Email me personally if you need to or want to. [email protected] Michael

Worked on bike today some. Had to replace the thermostat and one of the fans came unplugged so hope this is my overheating problem. I worked some on the left side rail special bracket and was trying to make it out of 1/4" steel plate. I have it bent up to help attach the left rail some but trying to engineer more bracing to maybe attach to bottom mount on the back side for more stress relief and make front mount stronger to help with holding 2 people on bike. I havent downloaded pics yet but will try and update in the next couple of weeks. Im still waiting for rear center section so i can do entire frame work and paint while designing more structure points under seat. Thanks to all who have emailed me with questions, comments, other ideas, concerns, and just good ole 'get r done and take lots a pics'. thank u all

SHE'S COMPLETE..... My 2008 Buell 1125R-CR with xbscg tail conversion and complete carbon fiber kit. This is my dream come true. I still have problem with keeping frontend on the ground under hard acceleration. Thanks to all who gave me advise or ideas. [email protected]

Looks great, wish I had 1.

Thx guys, believe me when i say its not a direct bolt-on. Lots of designing and adjusting of mounting points and such. Im very happy with it though. I went out this morning for some very hard riding with the RGV sport riders and was really hitting the curves and turns hard and she held up very fine and overheating problem is gone. Im happy...

that one in the link looks awesome. I keep wondering with pegusas racing is going to come out with the radiator kits for the typhon because i think those would look awesome on a cr.

1 word for the 1125 with the xbs tail.....SEXY.

 

[texasroadranger]

I have to agree 2004[up]

I have an 09 cr and I am deffinatly looking to put an xb tail on it, what would it cost me roughly n where could I find one?

 

[texasroadranger]

With parts and labor, stress, headaches, and just all around BS, I probably spent over $1000.00. You need the side rails, undertray, seat, dremel tool, tape measure, mechanic and engineering skills, several different types of nuts and bolts, and lots and lots of patience....

 

[jragz33]

Okay not a problem, I am actually a tech myself, where did you get the stuff for ypurs?

 

[texasroadranger]

all new parts from HD/Buell dealer. I used 2008 xb12scg tail. Just go to dealer and ask to look at parts catalog.

 

[jragz33]

excellent, thanks a lot!!
