Well, we are getting very excited about pikes peak this year. The 1125/1190CR is coming along nicely; Actually started it for the first time tonight.It sounds wicked.....as should a 15:1 compression ratio 1190! The CR was a more or less complete salvage 2009, We are throwing a bunch of parts at it from my 2008 1125R daytona sportbike. Here are a few shots of the progress.     | ||

keep us updated! | ||

Looks cool already! What sort of power/torque are you expecting from the motor? | ||
| Hurricaneleah |
We are hoping for 150+ at the rear wheel at sea level and a nice smooth torque curve. We stuck with the stock 1125 cams for that very reason and degreed them in on the intake side to optimize torque rather than hp. We should know what it makes on our dyno soon... Also, if anyone has a CR handlebar conversion kit, specifically the throttle cables, brake and clutch line, i am in the market! | ||

How did you get 1190cc? | ||

Also, if anyone has a CR handlebar conversion kit, specifically the throttle cables, brake and clutch line, i am in the market! There is one here on ebay from St Pauls H-D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Buell-1125cr-Clubman -Handlebar-Option-Kit-N2002C-1AT-/261215321599?pt= Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cd1a57dff if you want the wider/higher bars then there are some here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Buell-1125cr-Tall-Bl ack-Anodized-Handlebar-Kit-N2002A-1AT-/26121383515 4?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cd18e cf92 | ||

thanks for the links trojan! much appreciated.... 1190 kit is available through EBR. 3mm overbore (106mm) piston and cylinders. i think the stock kit is 13.5:1. | ||

Contact buelliedan on the BadWeb here if you need some high altitude dyno time. I believe his place is located around 5000' plus. Will you be running a fully custom ECM program or one that Erik burns for you? Also, High Country Harley in Frederick Colorado has an 1125 they ran on the hill a few years back. I believe they did some custom mapping. | ||
| Hurricaneleah |
Hey J2, thanks for the contacts...It will be a custom map (i have a dyno in my barn) but Pat mooney (manxboy)and EBR gave me some good base maps. It will be good to see what it is doing at altitude however. I also have a wide range O2 feedback system we pieced together from Innovate motorsports components that performed well last year on the XR we are going to adapt to the 1125. | ||

I wonder if a powerful exhaust fan pumping air from inside an enclosed dyno room couldn't drop the ambient atmospheric pressure enough to replicate race conditions? Careful not to pull down any gypsum board from the ceiling! Good luck and thanks for sharing! | ||

Too bad I'm not still working at the giant jet engine factory. We had a test cell that could run a jet engine at 30,000 feet altitude and subzero temps.  | ||
| Hurricaneleah |
Off to Pikes Peak! /Thanks everyone for all the help....hopefully we can get a good result. The bike is certainly capable of it...  | ||
| Smoke4ndmears |
stunning bike! best of luck! | ||
| J2blue |
I'll be rooting at the race for you! | ||
| Snowscum |
Going to try and make it down year. God luck to you! | ||
| Snowscum |
Results showing you DNF. Hope everything's ok! | ||

That would be tough since the race is NEXT weekend.We will be on the mountain for the race since we live a few miles away.If your coming and need a ride up in the morning I'll have the motorhome with lotsa room.We'll be trying to park on one of the supersteep switchbacks but if not we'll be at Devils Playground for the day.See ya'll there! | ||
| Snowscum |
Practice times are posted and he had a DNF. | ||
| Ebear |
OOps!Hadn't seen that yet.Any one else here going up for the race? | ||
| J2blue |
uh.. yep. I'm driving up Sunday morning from Canon. | ||
| Hurricaneleah |
So far so good, 3rd fastest in class on Tuesday in middle sector and tied for first fastest today in top sector. The bike is a rocketship and my Dunlop slicks are sticking like glue. Bottom sector practice and qualifying in a couple of hours. I can't thank EBR and Dunlop enough...thanks for all the support and well wishes. I am giving it 100% and the bike is phenomenal. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Good luck! Very cool race. | ||
| J2blue |
Thanks for bringing a Buell back to the mountain, Wes! By the way, the morning of the race will they allow spectators in the pit area? I definitely want to come by and get some pictures. | ||
| Hurricaneleah |
Well, qualified 4th on the bottom sector. had a good run going but caught a gaggle of supwrmoto bikes on our qualifier. Not the result we were looking for but it is the Sunday result that counts! J2, pits are open to spectators please stop by! Looking forward to Sunday! | ||

Give 'em hell Wes! | ||

Les and Leah were parked at the head of the line at the gate in a silver Mercedes Sprinter motorhome with a Buell banner on the back door.Stop by or come down and visit.  |
