Author Message   Green1 Posted on Saturday, December 08, 2012 - 08:27 pm:        Anyone know if the spiegler handlebar conversion for the XB12R will work on an 1125R,i'm not sure if it will clear the fairing but it looks like it might link to kit http://www.spieglerusa.com/handlebar-conversion-ki t-4224.htm   Zacks Posted on Saturday, December 08, 2012 - 08:38 pm:        I'm guessing not.If it replaces the top triple, it's not happening. The fork spacing is different. Something like 4mm wider on the 1125.   Aj2010 Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 09:45 am:        I say "YES", you will need "XB" lower triple clamp as the 1125 tubes are spaced 2.2 mm further apart. I am currently using the XB triples and Renthal Superbike bars. Everything clears (barley)   Green1 Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 10:40 am:        Thanks,i guess it was too much to dream for a direct bolt on   Aj2010 Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 04:08 pm:        Well, there is always E-Bay for the upper and the lower. Then you can pick the bars you like   Blk09r Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 09:03 pm:        Won't placing the forks 4mm closer together screw up the front wheel and brake caliper spacing? Are the XBR forks are different as well?   Hybridmomentspass Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 10:00 pm:        the front wheels on all XB/1125 are the same, right? 4mm isnt much, but where does the extra space come from? I dont have a XB, only 1125 (and tuber), just wondering what they do to compensate for the wider space on 1125 models   Green1 Posted on Sunday, December 09, 2012 - 10:07 pm:        I have an email into spiegler,guess i'll wait to see what they say and in the meantime look for an 1125 top clamp i can machine   Aj2010 Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 02:07 pm:        When I reassembled the front end with XB triples, everything went together smoothly. I figure at worst my front wheel is now 1.1mm off-set to the left of centre ..... If I adjust the position of my tool kit I should be able to correct the balance   Green1 Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 06:12 pm:        Here is the reply From what we have been told by some of our customers that have done this before…you would want to order the Z120BU04 handlebar riser kit for the 04-08 XB-12R model and substitute the SUPERBIKE LOW bar in place of the superbike bar that normally comes in the kit. That being said, I do not have a kit specifically for the 1125R model, so I do not know if there was any custom fabrication involved when doing this
