Author Message   Stirz007 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 04:36 pm:        I numbskulled it this morning (forgot to do this before I left the house). I need overall length of 1125R verified. Spec sheet says 80". Making an offer on a trailer in the next hour or two and want to make sure I don't get it home and realize I numbnutted it. (oops, 2" short and stuck with a trailer I can't use). Mercy heaps of thanks...   Joshinga Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 04:39 pm:        80 is about right but if I were in your shoes I would get something 90" or longer just so you will have a little room to play with   Stirz007 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 04:45 pm:        Thanks Josh - I agree, and seem to remember about 83" to the back of the plate. Just want to see if someone could throw a tape on theirs and see what they get.   Jdugger Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 04:53 pm:        54" wheelbase + 17" wheel = 71. That's not to the tip of the tail, though, but the number you need to ask "how long does the truck bed need to be?"   Stirz007 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 04:59 pm:        Or another way of putting it: If I have two vertical surfaces, how far apart do they need to be to be able to fit the 1125 in between? OR - how long would a shipping box need to be to get the bike inside?   Petereid Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 05:20 pm:        OAL 80.3 inches according to the Buell website   Marcodesade Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 05:34 pm:        Nice answers guys, but he's asking someone to actually USE A TAPE MEASURE. Sorry, mine bike's in the shop or I'd do it myself . . .   Petereid Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 05:48 pm:        best I could do as I dropped mine off for the harness today   Joshinga Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 05:56 pm:        ok you made me get my lazy ass up. its about 84 1/2" stem to stern   Stirz007 Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 08:53 pm:        Josh - you are the MAN!!!! Just what I needed - all is well with the world. I owe you a frosty beverage of your choice. JM   Joshinga Posted on Friday, May 14, 2010 - 09:12 pm:          Ratsmc Posted on Saturday, May 15, 2010 - 12:44 am:        Geez. An hour and 20 minutes for someone to get out a tape. I swear to god people will spend 8 hours looking something up online rather than just taking a look for themselves. BTW, I am not being a grumpy ass here, I probably would have tried to look it up before getting out the tape.

I eliminated the stock plate holder. also Im running a 190mm rear tire but I dont think that really matters but just in case
