Just got a 1125cr and want to change out the stock clubman bars on it. looking at more upright/tracker type bars. Will I need to change out the brake line, clutch, and wires? If so, what length? any help would be great. |

You do need to change a bit. Brake line, clutch line, throttle cables. The switches are fine. Buell sells an upright handlebar kit with everything you need (except brake fluid). https://st-paul-harley-davidson-buell.myshopify.co m/products/buell-1125cr-tall-black-anodized-handle bar-kit-n2002-1at |

I manufactured a new upper triple tree for my 01 Buell Cyclone. It now has 1/2" holes with a 3.5' bolt hole pattern so I can run Harley style handlebars. I realize this is much more then most Buellers who aren't machinists can do. So now I'm running 5" straight risers and drag bars. I didn't have to change any cables or extend my wiring. I looked at pix of the 1125CR and the ones I saw had a tracker style handlebar on them not a clubman. But quite often when going to a higher handlebar it's necessary install longer clutch cables, longer brake lines and extend your control wiring [the easiest part of this job]. A word of advice if you have to extend wiring: solder them together, don't use crimp connectors! |

Thanks again for the info. Froggy, I went to the St. Paul address and that kit is perfect for what I think I want to do. Do you know if Buell ever made a riser lower handlebar block to even get a little more height out of the bars? |

No, I've seen that made aftermarket for the XBs but never the 1125s. On the CR, the gauge cluster is attached to the handlebar clamp, so that could make a riser not practical. |
