I thought it was time for some upgrades, I will try to list them out later.               oops It's no show bike, it's got scratches, but I like it. I also installed the Erik Buell Racing ECM while I wait for the TM tune from Dris and Martin, changed coolant and put in distilled water and Water Wetter, Erik Buell Racing brake pads, Motul brake fluid, new clutch fluid, new spark plugs (without rotating motor  ) | ||

Wow, looks good. Tail section is clean. Will the license plate bend upwards at 120 mph? What color leds? | ||
| 07xb12ss |
haha Rob I have yet to perform the license plate bend speed test. all the LEDs are red. so with the yellow HID low beam I guess this thing is my happy meal hahaha | ||

Aren't those the evil tires that change from an angel to a devil? Looks good. I really like the rear brake master cylinder sitting where you can check it quickly. | ||
| Dannybuell |
nice turn signals in the grips. | ||
| 07xb12ss |
Yea, I love these tires, get me pretty good mileage and I have yet to have a slip, and you guys know I don't ride like grandma. Brake master cylinder is cool, just watch your bracketry or you will have a nice shiny scratch like me (last picture), oh well, I am no engineer. | ||

Did you buy the wheels or did you paint or powdercoat them? | ||
| 07xb12ss |
local powdercoater - $70 for both | ||

Love the undertail work, can we have some more pics of that, maybe s parts list and some pics in the dark of the lights working. Super job, looks amazing. | ||
| 07xb12ss |
Avalaugh: I should have taken more pics of the work that was done on the tail. If you PM me I will try to explain what I did. I will def get night pics of it. And some video. | ||

Hey Kevyn! I think your registration is due! That cop is going to write you a ticket. | ||
| Ridenusa4l |
where did you get those bar ends with signals!? Ive been lookin for somethin like that so i can get rid of those dam mirrors on my R, and was it hard to put the mirror on with the barends?? Thanks Jake Looks great! also will the license plate scrap at aggressive lean? | ||
| Bueller4ever |
Those white wheels look sick! That's on my list of things to do, maybe when my bearings wear out. | ||
| Joseb |
Looks great! Those wheels really pop out at you | ||
| No_rice |
i have to say i do like the white wheels on that alot. not a fan of red, but i will say it sure looks good. and thats along the lines of my plans on one of my tails, if i ever get around to working on it lol. | ||

Too bad you can't get sport tires in whitewall! | ||

Riden: Oberon bar end blinkers - pricey!! Save some money and look on eBay, I didnt think of that until I paid the exchange rate (UK) and shipping, ouch. Mirror is Oberon as well and they sell everything to make the mirror install a breeze. Directions arent real clear but they are well made pieces. As far as the license plate goes I dont think it will but I will tell you in a month, as I am going to the Dragon The white wheels do pop. AND the best part is that they have a gloss finish!! no more scrubbing and scrubbing to clean the wheels (which is why I never did it haha) | ||

i am totally going to steal that fuel vent tube idea. love it. been wanting to get rid of the rear pegs. awesome bike | ||
| 07xb12ss |
Nuke: Easy job, just take it completely loose and move it back and forth while twisting it to find the right position. IIRC I cut the airbox side to meet the end of the soft rubber hose. | ||

Man I love the wheels they look killer | ||

night pics - no fancy camera here      | ||

SWEET! can you elaborate on the bar ends with turn signals? How do you like the pirelli angels? Mileage, Grip, and Turn in compared to stock tires? | ||
| 07xb12ss |
Bar end indicators cover the front and rear, widest points on the bike, very safe IMO. I drilled holes in the bars where the switch covers go so that the wiring ran with the factory wiring. Love the Angel STs! Been running them since they came out. Turn in is great, great grip when tires are cold and in cold/wet weather. I don't really remember how the stock tires were. Wore out to fast. I get at least 6k miles out of a rear and I accelerate hard and engine brake a lot. | ||

Awesome choices. I questioned the brightness of the LEDs but I see now that was unwarranted. Nice job. | ||
| 07xb12ss |
RPM: I definitely lost daytime visibility compared to my XBLIGHTS taillight, but I just wanted something different. The exhaust helps to be heard | ||

Must be missing something... What's lighting up the plate? durrrrp - nevermind. (Message edited by tippster on March 24, 2011) | ||

07xb12ss PM sent Thanks for the night pics | ||
| Froggy |
 Very nice! I'm not a fan of the blinker work, but it is nice to see something different. | ||
| Rogue_biker |
Wow! Somebody really loves their 1125! Looks great. Makes mine look boring! |
