Had a little track incident, and now need to replace bars. I was wondering if the clubman bars from the 1125cr would work on xb12S. Anyone given it a try yet? | ||

Won't fit, the 1125CR bars are 1" at the clamp and taper off to 7/8" at the grips. There are aftermarket options for clubmans that will bolt on. | ||

You know Precision Engineering might be able to make up a set of raisers to make them work. | ||

I'm thinking they will with these... http://www.preeng.com/xcart/product.php?productid= 2&cat=5&page=2 | ||

You can swap to a firebolt setup with a little modifying. I did and I love it. Adds way more control on the corners.  | ||

The easiest way is to go with the American Sportbike XB-S Crossroads Clip-on Style Handlebars, I have the 7o ones and love 'em. No cutting, no chopping, no worries, just mount 'em and go! (Message edited by glitch on June 23, 2009) | ||

| Nillaice |
yeah, and then guys like me will send you PM's praising your awesomeness, and beg you to tell them how you did it, just so they can do the same mod to be more like you. | ||

Hey Nilla I just rode my bike to Norfolk last weekend to visit a friend. I could have showed the setup, not to many people have done this mod. Most crap out and go with the ugly clip-ons. | ||
| Nillaice |
well, let's meet up some time. there's alot of fun roads between us | ||

I like the way they look, more so after I painted them black. We've done the R conversion a couple of times now. Just too much work, and troubles to do it again. I hate having to carve up the gauge module, and the wiring is awful tight behind the flyscreen. Just too much trouble IMHO. I ain't afraid of ugly, all you have to do is look at my bike and you'd see that's true!  i mean, like, everybody's done the tail swap.... Now that was easy peasy! Great mod! | ||

The R conversion is nice but way too time consuming to get perfect. | ||

You ought to know! | ||

Yea, I enjoyed that project and making Stealth happy with the set up but it was a time sucker for sure. I just came upon a set of crossroads I think I'm going to powder coat and put on to see how they do. I know I've sat on yours with your Crossroads but it's been so long I don't remember how they feel. Hope to see you in October!! | ||

Tail swap?!? What parts would I need to do this on a '05 CityX?  | ||
| Circusninja |
Um... please? I am interested in putting a black firebolt tail on my City... help? | ||
| Odie |
Circusninja- I have not done one myself but if you just type tail swap in the search function you should get enough info to keep you busy for a few hours at least. |
