I just selected "Red" from the top stitching color dropdown list when ordering ... Loren said that it'd be the best match to Buell's "Racing Red." It does indeed match perfectly.
question with the seat being thicker and stretching you out more. How much more. Im a short guy on my toes already if i get a thicker seat then ill have to lean to the side so i can touch. that is my major set back on buying a new seat. i had a Corbin for my x1 and loved it

Don't worry about that one bit. Unlike working with a huge company like Corbin, if you order from Loren he can do absolutely anything you'd like him to do, from the thickness of the seat, to how much taper it has on the sides of it for a shorter inseam. I specifically asked for an additional 1" of height and I can just barely flat-foot it now. It's perfect.
From what I've read, the Corbins for the 1125s are actually for the XB and don't quite fit right, plus they use their own seat pans that use clips underneath the airbox cover to hold it down in the front. Loren uses stock 1125 seat pans so the fit is ... stock. Perfect with a little initial snugness up front against the airbox cover that will break in for an ideal fit.
Just let Loren know your inseam and he'll take care of the rest. His contact info is on his site ... he got back to me the same day when asking questions about his process though Email.
Thanks for all the comliments, guys. The Buell forums are the only places I can get some love for the mods I've did—the "other" sportbike/motorcycle forums not so much, lol.
I'm not sure if I'm going to sell the stock mirrors at the moment, Loki. I want to run the bar ends mirrors for a while and see how they do. So far, on the ride to work this morning, they are excellent and don't vibrate at all!! Just have to spend some time and really adjust and lock them down into position. But if I do decide I need to clear some "parts" space in the garage, you're first in line, Loki.
