how bout some pics of the 1125 beauties out there??

[freight dog]

Thanks again. You are correct about the pitbull for the 1125 being wider. I would also suggest replacing the stock spools. I bought anodized aluminum ones from Vortex, 6mm IIRC. They are cupped to help align the stand, and of course more trick than the plastic ones. They are reasonable too at $24/pr. Al at American Sport Bike also has some made for the 1125 that I think are less,

You are absolutely right about the shorty levers. I wasn't sure when I ordered them, but from the moment I mounted 'em, no regrets.

One other thing you can't see, $92 worth of black aluminum M6 x 1.00 fairing bolts from Pro Bolt. There are about 50 of those bastards all over the bike. The aluminum ones look better, don't get scratched the first time you take them off, and weigh about 1/3 of the stock steel ones. I did go back to stock with the ones that hold the rear brake master cylinder because they came undone and I am not sure the aluminum will hold the stress of foot brake application.

Those engine covers are worth every penny. They don't have the gloss finish of the other CF but they are tough as steel and lighter than aluminum. They actually "klink" like metal if you tap them.

Lastly, I have been waiting til winter and the exhaust to install it, but I managed to pick up one of the Ohlins TTX shocks American Sport Bike had on sale this spring. I know, I'm a bastard...

Freight that thing is nice!!! Did u just find a set of 04 9r wheels or did u have those done urself?

 

[freight dog]

They are the Buell wheels. I had no idea what they were intended for, I just found a part number for white wheels. I sourced them from Lakeshore HD. 20% off and free shipping over $200 or $300. They were about $550 shipped for the set. When you can get a set of wheels for less than half of what Suzuki sells one wheel for, why not?

Of course, I spent a bit more on an extra rear pulley, finned front brake rotor and mounting kit from Erik Buell Racing and rear rotor and mounting bolt kits from American Sport Bike to make wheel swaps more painless. Well worth it. So I have an extra set of wheels ready to mount tires and then just swap out when I am ready.

 

[freight dog]

Yeah, I haven't added it up yet, but if I were to go with a full exhaust I am sure I will have spent more on the bike than I paid for it. I always wanted to do that...

 

[texasroadranger]

I finally got pics of mine after Eric Buell Racing mods, including full fiberglass fairing, exhaust, EBR ecm, steering damper, undertail, carbon fiber stator and clutch covers, black taillight with integrated brake light and turn signals, lithium race battery, and k&n air filter. What do ya think?

Im also on youtube under, 'Buell 1125R 1/4 mile pass 11.02'

Very clean bike texasroadranger! Do you have an after market tail faring, cause it looks really aggressive? ( taller )

 

[twoguns]

well... i have one of these now too!

freaking awesome!

mirros and blinkers so far, but a few more changes to come yet though!

 

[agfish18]

I am having clutch issues at the moment, but while I cant ride, I figured I should update the bikes looks

I am going to try to re-wire the headlights so that the outside lights become blinkers, and run bar ends (taking off the stock ones)

I am also planning on painting the plastics over the winter but still havent decided on a design yet.

I would love to get a CR but if i got a R it would have to be the white and blue and would NEED a new seat. The stock seat is like sitting on a would plank.

 

[Cronce1125R]

hey fish what colors are you thinking of painting them, because im having some trouble matching the diamond blue with and other color other than black, i dont mind the black and blue theme i just wish the blue matched another color better lol

 

[agfish18]

I was thinking blue, maybe color matching the diamond blue, and adding a silver color possibly... I could take the bike apart and get the frame and swingarm powdercoated black which would make things waaay easier. Then get the hero blue wheels for it. I was going for the black and blue combo, but sill no real design plans as of yet.

 

[texasroadranger]

Yeah, it is taller. If you look closer, my tail is actually mounted over 2 inches higher. Look at complete tail section and tank. They are from www.trojanhorse-adrenalinemoto.com from out of the UK. It is the solo seat conversion kit. My wife hates it,lol...

 

[agfish18]

Yeah, it is taller.

Thought it looked taller, but was thinking maybe it was just an optical illusion and that it just looked that way because you were missing your rear fender.

Just a bike I saw over on badweb

One guy on BadWeb painted his "Orange Crush". It looks sweet on the Diamond Blue frame. Several have done white plastics on the blue frame, even my dealer did it when they were sitting on an '08 before they could get '09's and people kept asking for a white one. It looks awesome to use the original "Buell" badge from the black '08 on white plastic with the Diamond Blue frame. Personally, if I had an '08, I would be looking for any excuse to go bare metal like the race bikes. Another guy had his painted up like a WWII fighter with rivets, bullet holes, nose art and oil stains. VERY cool.

Nice bike and great mods. The EBR exhaust has to be the sweetest one there is. The lightweight battery would be awesome too. I am looking at a new battery for the spring since mine won't charge more than 12.2V after my VR and stator issues. That is a whole lot of cheddar for a battery though... The Adrenaline Moto tail is another nice mod. I think I would like it better with the Free Spirits pod kit rather than the full fairing. It's just me but I think the 1125's look better half faired, especially with an aftermarket exhaust. They look stripped down for business like that IMO.

 

[Cronce1125R]

the pods remind me alot of a jets intakes. would kill for a raw/bare metal look, maybe with blue tarnish heat marks, ohhh sexy, definatly not a fan of orange and blue, thouse were my high school colors, im looking to branch out lol, the white and diamond blue is sweet though

 

[texasroadranger]

Well, I thank ya'll. I have put a lot of time in her and she was my 35th birthday present to myself. I have other plans for her in the future, including the EBR swingarm/ chain conversion and an LED light package (blue) underframe so when I cruise saturday night it looks good. Not much more I can do to her. Im gonna post more videos on youtube from 1/4 mile track once I start going again.

 

[twoguns]

hehe... my new latest pic of my new CR and only on her third ride out too!

 

[SonderMann]

Wow, that's a BADASS Holden police car[up]

It is not a w427 model but still way powerful V8 I believe

I guess it is a bad idea in Australia to play with cops
