1125CR with the XB tail

This is recent pics of my 2008 1125R-CR with lightning tail conversion and complete carbonfiber kit by AmericanSportBike.com.

Does anybody have a complete xb tail section for sale?

Damn i love that bike. I'd put a full fairing kit on it and call it my true love. haha

 

[texasroadranger]

I put the lower xb lightning fairing bellypan that EBRacing sells and really looks cool now.... I have had a few buell guys in area want to do this same conversion and carbonfiber kit. Only problem is they dont want to pay the money for parts and all the labor and such. I bought EVERYTHING new so I wouldnt have any problems. These guys just wanna be cheap,lol.

Im installing RR tailsection and will have the XB lightning tail up for grabs if anyone interested, email me. [email protected].

I was brain-storming with a fellow bueller and we were looking at the RR brackets that come with the FreeSpirit solo tailsection and tank cover from adrenaline-moto.uk and I think with a little engineering and measurements, Im thinking of maybe making some experimental brackets out of wood and see what it would take to maybe make a mold to make some 'aftermarket brackets' to attach an XB tail section (complete) onto an 1125 frame. Im just throwing it out there and it might take a while, but if it is sucessful, I will keep all of you up to date.

here was last photo with xb tail and xb lower fairing from EBRacing.

On wet roads do those style tails (in particular those with a fender eliminator) throw all sorts of grime onto the rider's back?

Is your bracket idea to make a wood mold for a fiberglass piece? If so, be careful that it is rigid. Maybe leave a wood core (balsa?) or a foam core to be safe. I'd hate to see you flailing around on a broken subframe with the rear tire about to eat your nutsack!

 

[texasroadranger]

No, I think making a wooden 'mold' that I can carve and cut on and do all the adjustments to where it fits perfect, and then take that mold to a metal shop and fabricate the exact pieces out of aluminum or billet (something strong and reinforced) Im sure LOTS of trial and error but wood 1X4's or something similar are a piece of cake to cut with a scroll saw or band saw. Plus, if I messup, just get another piece of wood,lol.

A hot knife on modeling foam is even easier to sculpt than wood, from what I've seen.

 

[texasroadranger]

I was kinda thinking wood because I could actually have a 'hard mold' so I can bolt everything up and see how it looks with the complete tailsection bolted up and give my 'It looks good to me' approval.

Tex did you sell that xb tail?

 

[texasroadranger]

yep, sure did. I have all the measurements still though.

 

[stensg]

I knew I should have bought it when i seen it for sale. The more I see it the more I like it if you have the measurements or diagrams could you e mall them to me [email protected]

I have this tail section for sale. Send me an offer. It is complete without a seat.

 

[texasroadranger]

These came with my RR fairings for the solo tail/ tank setup and when I totalled my 2008 1125R in Feb 2013, I salvaged them off the frame before insurance company picked up bike. Im gonna try and maybe see if I can fabricate/ modify them somehow to bolt-up an S Tail and actually be able to ride 2 up. (2 people)
