btw twoguns. need to post a coulple more pics of your bike to get a complete look at it. looks pretty good.

is typhon swiss for typhoon? seems to fit in with the "bad weather" names of the other bikes from previous Buell Years, i.e. Firebolt, lightening, cyclone etc.

it maybe , but...if you look at the names from Buell it all really comes from Greek Mythology .
the thunderbolt, lightning, thunderstorm & such are from Zeus's Arsenal of Power


see lakota's post on Typhon(aka Typhoeus) in the 1190-Typhon- thread

from a previuos post of mine..
little info on Greek mytholgy of the Pegasus..
(short version)
Pegasus is a mighty winged horse of Greek myth. According to legend, Pegasus sprang forth from drops of blood when Perseus cut off the head of Medusa. The horsemaster Bellerophon tamed Pegasus with a golden bridle provided by the goddess Athena. Together horse and rider slew the fire-breathing monster Chimera. (Legends vary, but some say Pegasus and Bellerophon performed other heroic deeds together.) Finally, Bellerophon tried to fly to heaven to join the gods, but Pegasus threw him off and the two were separated forever, with Pegasus living on as a constellation of stars ...
PEGASUS Gender: Masculine
From the Greek Πηγασος (Pegasos), possibly either from πηγος (pegos) "STRONG" or πηγαιος (pegaios) "from a water spring".
as above pegasus (buell) living on, and from the cut off the head of medusa, wow how so fimiliar that sounds , except they(HD) cut their own head off kinda of sorta ..

Hey guys, I have a 2008 1125R and plan on converting to an XB12scg seat/tail section and CR front end. I will try and take several pics and instructions in the DIY section of forum.

 

[onelogue]

Hey texasroadranger, we look forward to that DIY write-up. Dont let us down

 

[texasroadranger]

This is my custom.. 2008 1125r-cr conversion with xb lightning tail conversion. yep, its all carbon fiber..

I saw a video of the Typhon racing. Very nice. I love the clean look of it. Not alot of God aweful plastic everywhere so that it reminds you it has a big powerful V-Twin and not some gay I4. I4's are only acceptable in Silvias. As for the other bikes though. The first is evil as ****. This one ^ is cool too. I might get the tail powdercoated to match the frame though.

 

[texasroadranger]

OH YEAH, I need to remove tail again and sand it down and paint it. I got the diamond blue paint from buell so it will match. Also need to strengthen the mounts a bit more to hold weight of a passenger. My wife is itching to get on it with me and i dont want to take a chance of something breaking while we are riding. Plus take lots of pics so i can do a DIY section. OH BUDDY, ITS A BITCH, LOL.

Here's my 1125crX

Started as a 08R, did a cr front swap with high bars, and a fully Uly tail section. It can also be outfitted with Givi side bags. Right now I have the smaller E21 bags.
I wanted to convert the 1125 into a go anywhere, do anything bike that still looks sharp and can be ridden hard!
Very comfy and I think the tail flows with the body very nicely. I always hated the pods which the SOC fairing cures. Also always hated that Buell reused the R tail section. So I put the uly tail on. Wanted the most comfortable ride as possible. I also think the longer tail looks better then the short stubby tail. Just flows better, but thats just me, I know I am in the minority on that one.

I have also ditched the hand guards that was purely a practical cold weather riding add on. Dont care for the look, but it does help a lot, especially combined with the heated grips.

 

[texasroadranger]

NICE PICS.... Its lookn very good J..

These are recent pics of my 2008 25th Anniversary Edition 1125R that I converted to the CR and converted the tail section to an XB lightning SCG tail section and complete carbonfiber kit from AmericanSportBike.com.
