Well, got to test ride the 1125R today. Man that suckers got power. Pulls from 3K all the way up and just builds. Put me back in my seat with only 1/2 throttle. I do see what you all mean about the mirrors. They don't really vibrate more like shake. Seat is most certainly a piece of plywood with leather. Also, I noticed with my 14 wide feet that the shifter and rear break are a bit hard to reach. I know those are adjustable, any chance they could adjust for my feet? I think the S pegs are needed as I'm a bit squished on there in the legs (tree trunks). Grips gotta go, going with the traction grips. Also, the gauges. The lights on it (turn, neutral and high beam) are a tad hard to see in sunlight. What's the highest brightness you can go to? It was on brightness 4. I think a dark smoke wind screen would help a lot. Come on Buell.... Anyways, I want this bike!!!! Oh, yeah, the brakes. Holy shit. That front break grabs way harder than the XB's and I was using only 2 fingers. (Message edited by Cataract2 on April 19, 2008) | ||

I would need the S pegs on the 1125 as well... they should go on really easily, Honda Blackbird guys (and a lot of other make bikes) are snapping them up as they work pretty well for them as well (minor modification). I want a "super S" peg. An inch lower then the S pegs. My 9sx fits me pretty well, but it would be nice to have the extra room, and while I am impressed with the 23 degree turning lean, I don't really need it for the street. The only way I ever touched the pegs on my 9sx was by using bad form... | ||

I put Uly pegs on Loretta. Same 1" drop with a larger surface, feet are much happier. Also you guys with snowshoe feet, try extending the shift/brake tips. Somebody has them already made, Al at American Sport Bike? I extended my brake tip by about 3/8" and used a longer 5mm bolt, feels very natural there. Z | ||

I think the XBS peg will work well for me on the 1125R as I like them on my XB9SX. I'll have to see what you did with yours today Zac when we meet up. | ||

Yes, American Sport Bike has larger toe pegs for the 1125. They work very well! | ||

Was just looking for the S pegs myself. I have an XB9SX now and they work just fine for me. |
